URL | .../devices/main?type=number |
Requires authentication? | Yes |
Method Parameters:
Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
type | String | No | A fixed value: number, to get device serial number(for Total Control Version 6.9.0 and later). |

A JSON string representing an array of objects with the following fields.
If resource URL is ".../devices/main", the return value is as follows:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | String | The main device id value, for example:device@1116106541 |
If resource URL is ".../devices/main?type=number", the return value is as follows:
Field | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
id | Int | The main device serial number, for example:5. Note that the device serial number is returned only in MDCC, not in the MDCC, and the returned id value is always 0. |
Request Example:
http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/devices/main?token=270eq7lXQK8bXYsJ
or
http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/devices/main?token=270eq7lXQK8bXYsJ&type=number
Response Example:
If this API executes successfully, it returns:
{
"id":"device@1116106541"
}
or
{
"id":3
}
Example:
Warm tip:
Get the token needed for Total Control script development,see here.
RingoJS Example:
// Import the packages
var {request} = require("ringo/httpclient");
var base64 = require("ringo/base64");
// The username and password are separated by a single : and sent on the wire base64 encoded
var userpass = base64.encode("sigma:3D391497");
// First step: Get the API token
var gettoken = request({
method: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/login",
headers: {
"Authorization": userpass
}
});
var ret_token = JSON.parse(gettoken.content);
var token = ret_token.value.token;
print("//The value of token is:" + token);
// Second step: Get the device id value of the master device
var getdevice = request({
method: "GET",
url: "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/devices/main?type=number&token=" + token
});
print("Get the device id,Return value: "+getdevice.content);
var device = JSON.parse(getdevice.content).id;
print("//The value of device ID is:"+ device);
The running result of the RingoJS:
If it executes successfully, it will return:
//The value of token is:veLZf8EL7gUoyFOL
Get the device id,Return value: {"id":1}
//The value of device ID is:1
Python Example:
#!/user/bin/python
#-*- coding:utf-8 -*-
import base64
import requests
# The username and password are separated by a single : and sent on the wire base64 encoded
user_pass = 'sigma:3D391497'
encodeStr = base64.b64encode(user_pass.encode("UTF-8"))
# First step: Get the API token
LoginUrl = "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/login"
response = requests.get(LoginUrl, headers={'Authorization':encodeStr})
print("Get the token,Return value: ",response.json())
token = response.json()['value']['token']
print("The value of token is: ",token)
# Second step: Get the device id value of the master device
if token is not None:
GetDeviceUrl = "http://localhost:8090/TotalControl/v1/devices/main?token=" + token
response = requests.get(url=GetDeviceUrl)
print("Get the device id,Return value: ", response.json())
device = response.json()['id']
if device is not None:
print("The value of device id is: ", device)
else:
print("Failed to get device id.")
else:
print("Failed to get token.")
The running result of the python:
If it executes successfully, it will return:
Get the token,Return value: {'status': True, 'value': {'token': 'SPQxpZO2Qz79oFWG'}}
The value of token is: SPQxpZO2Qz79oFWG
Get the device id,Return value: {'id': 'device@33254183'}
The value of device id is: device@33254183
