Monitor Node (imwww)¶

The following describe the API used by the monitor to process incoming requests.

Resource Name	HTTP Verbs	HTTP Methods	Returns	Direction	Description
Pair	CREATE Pair	POST /pair/iot/<uuid>	ACK	From IoT Node	Register an IoT node w/Monitor using UUID
Pair	UPDATE Pair	POST /ping	ACK	From IoT Node	IoT device is verifying its stored pairing information
Pair	CREATE Pair	POST /pair/jarvis/<uuid>	ACK	From Jarvis	Pair a Jarvis node with Monitor
Monitor	GET Monitor ID	GET /monitor	Monitor ID	From Jarvis	Monitor Identity information
Device	GET Devices	POST /devices	Device list	From Jarvis	Get list of device IDs and descriptors
Device	UPDATE Device	POST /set/device	Device state	From Jarvis	Change device state with JSON
Device	UPDATE Device	PUT /set/device	Ack	From monitor	Change device state with JSON; only valid from localhost
Device	DELETE Device	DELETE /set/device	Ack	From monitor	Remove device pairing; only valid from localhost
Monitor	GET Query Devices	GET /query/devices	Updates states	From monitor	Causes monitor to update its device state information; only valid from localhost

Notes

Monitor identity includes location and possibly other descriptors that uniquely identify the monitor
POST is required for GET requests because the sender must identify themselves with a valid encryption key, which is sent in a JSON body that GET does not allow. This is because we are not using HTTPS but rather encrypting the requests and responses inside a JSON packet stored in the body of messages.
