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.

Create a single custom rule

Request

Creates a single custom Universal Alert rule.

Query
network_idintegerrequired

Unique identifier of the network whose configuration should be managed

Bodyapplication/jsonrequired
enabledboolean
alert_namestring

Defaults to an empty string if no value is provided.

Default ""
rrulestring

The RRULE string which can be generated here: https://jakubroztocil.github.io/rrule/

Note that new lines must be explicitly escaped with \n. Note that providing the RRULE string without the RRULE will result in a yearly alert. For a single occurrence, COUNT=1 must be provided

Example: DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211201T163000\nRRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;COUNT=30;INTERVAL=1;WKST=MO

Default ""
monitorobjectrequired

Motion monitor object. monitor_mode Specifies the type of monitoring.

NONE: Ignore motion and triggers actions at specified time.

SIMPLE: Checks period between alert trigger and duration_minutes.

INACTIVITY: checks for inactivity in the given period. inactive_minutes specifies the length of the inactivity. repeat_monitoring specifies if the alert should continue after inactivity was detected

monitor.​monitor_modestring
Enum"NONE""SIMPLE""INACTIVITY"
monitor.​duration_minutesinteger

The length of time in minutes of the monitored duration. The cloud will determine the start time per the timezone in the rrule field by subtracting this from the targeted time of the monitor completion (in which the result is sent).

monitor.​inactive_minutesinteger

Required if the monitor_mode is "INACTIVITY"

monitor.​repeat_monitoringboolean

If the monitor_mode is "INACTIVITY", this boolean determines if the alert should continue monitoring if inactivity is detected. Defaults to true

monitor.​stop_event_filterobject

Not yet supported - 1/1/2022

The keys of the object will compare to keys of MQTT events as they are from core. All key value pairs placed in this object will be expected on the event from core.

Default {}
metaobject

The contents of this object are decided by the client and will not persist if the alert is deleted.

analytics_tagstring

Any string that can be used for analytics tracing. Defaults to "" if the field is not included.

Default ""
no_motion_actionsArray of objects(Root Type for POST_universal_alerts_actions)

motion_actionsArray of objects(Root Type for POST_universal_alerts_actions)

Actions to perform when motion is detected

unknown_actionsArray of objects(Root Type for POST_universal_alerts_actions)
