Luup Sdata

The JavaScript API

Luup_Sdata

• lu_sdata is the preferred method for new user interfaces to interact with the MiOS engine. A full description of how to craft requests to LuaUPnP and the JSON format is available at Luup Protocol
• All of Luup's Device types are explained in detail at Luup Devices

Arguments

• loadtime
  • An integer representing the UNIX timestamp for when the devices list was last updated. On your first request, pass 0, and on subsequent requests pass in the loadtime returned in lu_sdata.
• dataversion
  • An integer representing the UNIX timestamp for the last time the state of the engine was updated. On your first request, pass 0 for dataversion and on subsequent requests pass the value returned in lu_sdata
• timeout
  • An integer specifying the timeout of the request in seconds. Setting this to a higher value allows your UI to block on the HTTP request to lu_sdata and only send new requests when data changes.
