R83 Announcement thread

The Web Socket Server is mentioned in the Blog post and in the R83 release thread but I don't think anyone else has posted this question yet about R83, though many have been asking about the API for some time.  A little "sniffing" will yield some interesting info but best to get the official word.

We are waiting on the API documentation right now, it is supposed to be released after the rollout of R83. Perhaps Ashok will chime in with details.

Yes, we are working on it as we speak and once it is ready, would be happy to update it.

@SecureComp yes API doc.

@Ashok Yes please.

[czyzczyz]

Any updates on this?

Even a simple list of commands that it accepts?

[Ashok]

@ czyzczyz,

We are still working on it and as per the update I got, it won't be taking much time now.

Fantastic.

I'm working my way towards understanding how to use it. I've hit a wall and posted a question to stack exchange, but will hopefully figure this out.

I'm not familiar with node.js. I'm using Go with https://github.com/gorilla/websocket for the websocket API, and only one connection is necessary to both read and write.

I am using a single socket as well.

There was an answer posted on Stack Exchange. Hope it helps.

Anyone know of a websockets library or arduino-compatible code sample that can work without DNS? I have been trying to work with existing libraries but most want to go to yourdomain.com and port... Not 10.10.10.1 (or whatever the internal IP for the router may be). I COULD make it accessible on a domain... But since it is not WSS I worry about the security.

you should be able to you localhost or hard code something in /etc/hosts and use that
