WiFi Motion Core APIs (v3-x-x)

The WiFi Motion Core Cloud APIs facilitate the creation, configuration, and management of WiFi Motion networks via RESTful APIs. Additionally, it offers interfaces for accessing topologies, events, and motion data. This documentation outlines the endpoints for engaging with the WiFi Motion cloud and includes specifications for the following APIs:

Network Settings

Motion History

The motion history APIs provide various historical motion metrics.

Live Motion

The live motion API opens a web socket and triggers the network to emit recorded motion at a 500ms interval.

Events

The events APIs allow you to retrieve, create or tag events emitted by the network.

Network Status

High-level APIs for retrieving the network's topology, last status message, or to view or modify the network's metadata.

Location Data

The location data APIs expose localized motion data. Localization happens on a per mac, or custom location name base.

Find

A set of APIs to find a network in the WiFi Motion Cloud. Individual, or groups of networks can be queried by their primary identifiers or by MAC.

Insights (advanced)

APIs of the internal Home Insights Microservice. Used for motion-based activity and sleep insights.

Config (advanced)

Fine-grained network configuration. These APIs give full access to the underlying motion detection controls, but have no safeguards to prevent unwanted side effects. For friendlier configuration management, see the Network Settings APIs.

Node (advanced)

Interface to manage the access point or mesh nodes of a network. Provides APIs to find, delete or alter the configuration of nodes.

Gatekeeper (advanced)

Endpoint used by WiFi Motion agent for the initial cloud connection. This API returns credentials for connecting to the MQTT broker and stores the initial network configuration. We don't recommend using this API directly.

Management (advanced)

Execute commands directly on the network's access point, or on a mesh node. We recommend using the NOC Management Page for these actions.

Debug (advanced)

Debug endpoints, for internal use only.

Application Settings (advanced)

The application settings API allows users to create, update, delete, and retrieve configurations based on network ID.

Operations

Retrieve Global Settings

Request

Retrieve global network configurations.

Path
network_idintegerrequired

Motion Network ID (returned as 'id' by Find API calls)

Responses

200 - OK

Bodyapplication/json
zone_priority_listArray of strings

Locations the device selection algorithm will prioritize.

Example: ["Kitchen"]
motion_events_enabledinteger

Enable motion events. On detected motion, the network emits a MotionDetectedEvent.

Enum01
Example: 1
device_eventsinteger

Enable Device Connection Events.

Requires global sounding_mode to equal deny and individual devices' sounding_mode to equal allow. When the connection state of device changes, an event is emitted. Possible events are: DeviceConnectedEvent, DeviceDisconnectedEvent and DeviceTimedOutEvent

Enum01
motion_history_enablednumber

Enable historical motion data from the network. The data can be queried through the Motion History APIs.

Enum01
Example: 1
mesh_auto_disableinteger

Disable motion detection on all current and added mesh nodes.

Enum01
mesh_sounding_disabledArray of strings

Mesh nodes that are disabled for motion detection. To alter this array, set sounding_mesh on the clients API or enable mesh_auto_disable

Example: []
motion_events_armedinteger

Enable storage of motion events. Requires motion_events_enabled to be enabled. The stored events can be queried through the Events APIs.

Enum01
Example: 1
motion_pausedinteger

Pauses all motion detection. While paused, the network can't receive setting changes.

Enum01
leafblower_cutoffnumber(float)[ -1.1 .. 1 ]

Advanced - Minimum score for device selection algorithm. -1.1 ignores the device's quality, and always uses them for motion detection. This feature should be used in conjunction with the sounding_mode features.

link_limitnumber[ 0 .. 10 ]

Maximum number of motion-detecting devices per access point or mesh node

pet_modeinteger

When enabled, pet motion is less likely to generate a MotionDetectedEvent. Can only be used when global sensitivity is set to high (1.0) and all clients' sensitivity_mode is global.

Enum01
cooldowninteger(seconds)

Represents the duration of inactivity following a MotionDetectedEvent, that the network keeps monitoring for motion. Once inactivity is observed, the network emits a MotionStoppedEvent and concludes the event window.

Example: 120
sensitivitynumber(float)

Global motion detection sensitivity (1.0 - high, 2.0 - medium, 3.0 - low, 7.0 - very-low)

Example: 1
sounding_modestring

This parameter controls the default device selection policy for the network, the two policy modes are allow and deny.

Allow mode: devices will be selected as best determined by the device selection algorithm. Devices can be blocked from selection by setting txenble=0 for that leaf(s).

Deny mode: devices that are not explicitly listed via a whitelist will be disallowed from sounding.

Note switching this mode will clear any existing device device availability settings and all devices will revert to available for allow mode or unavailable for deny mode.

Enum"allow""deny"
Example: "allow"
Response

Update Global Settings

Request

Update global network configurations.

Path
network_idintegerrequired

Motion Network ID (returned as 'id' by Find API calls)

Query
updateboolean

When true the new configuration is immediately propagated to the network this node is part of.

If this value is false, the change will be propagated to edge either when the device is rebooted or an update is triggered.

Default false
Bodyapplication/json
zone_priority_listArray of strings

Locations the device selection algorithm will prioritize. Setting this parameter to [] will turn off prioritization. Updates require the complete array to be included in the request.

sensitivitynumber(float)

Global motion detection sensitivity (1.0 - high, 2.0 - medium, 3.0 - low, 7.0 - very-low)

sounding_modestring

This parameter controls the default leaf selection policy for the network, the two policy modes are allow and deny.

Allow mode: leafs will be selected as best determined by leaf blower. Leaf(s) can be blocked from selection by setting txenble=0 for that leaf(s).

Deny mode: leafs that are not explicitly listed via a whitelist will be disallowed from sounding.

Note switching this mode will clear any existing device device availability settings and all devices will revert to available for allow mode or unavailable for deny mode.
