how to Update? "Category"

[Brors94 115]

Hi, I am hoping for some help. I have tried to find somthing to update the device  Category when starting the quickapp the first time.

 

I had a hope for somthing like this commands "userdescription" and "log" and "DeviceRole" :

self:updateProperty("userDescription","Relay for Heatingcable" ) 

self:updateProperty("log", "QA Started")

self:updateProperty("deviceRole", "Other")

 

any1 got a tips for a solution?

 

I have tried things like :

 

self:updateProperty("Category", "Other")

self:updateProperty("devicecategory", "Other")

 

And I do not understand the api post/get/put in the swagger just yet. 
 

but i find this in the swagger:

function setPropertyParam(id, prop, action)

    local data = {
      deviceId = id,
      propertyName = prop,
      value = action      
    }
    api.post("/plugins/updateProperty", data)
end

 

setPropertyParam(dev.id, "categories", "other")

Hi @Brors94 ,

 

try with:

Since there can be more than one category set for the device, you need to use curly brackets {}. You can replace "other" with any of the available categories. If you send category that does not exist then nothing will happen. Also you can set more than one category at once just add them inside curly brackets separated by comma. Hope this helps. This solution can also be found in my shared Quick Apps
