AW: How can I dynamically set configuration items?

[Michael Neumann]

Hi Philip,

I think before you change the code maybe have a look to the API. This was very useful for me.

https://github.com/zaidka/genieacs/wiki/API-Reference

I am testing different ways to work with the genieacs and different boxes.

I think I will use the presets only for refreshing statistic values and some basic settings that's always the same to a specific device type.

User specific settings i will push over the api.

When you try to make more complex setting where you must check first if the object is existing, adding objects, combine settings with your database, ... I think you will be much more flexible with the api.

I think an interesting point is to find a way to make the changes in the right time. That you not overwrite settings from the user and you can set the config fast enough after a factory reset or a device change .....

Currently i try to combine my management software with genieacs with the patch "RemoteNotifications" from Dan.
https://github.com/akcoder/genieacs/tree/RemoteNotifications


I think that could be a good final solution - but I am still in testing phase ....

Betreff: How can I dynamically set configuration items?

Dear gentle genieacs UI users, I am wondering if there is a way to dynamically set configuration items using arbitrary algorithms or results from external queries.

For example, say I want to set a made-up-parameter called Device.WIFI.SSID to be 'Philip' + last 6 characters of MAC address for all devices that meet the conditions for a preset.  How would I do that?

If the UI doesn't provide a way to do this, can you point me to where in the code it would make sense to hook that in?  I'm not afraid to node.

Possibly-related: What exactly is an object, and can somebody show me an example object that might get added to a device and explain what that does?

BTW, love the project.  Good work, people.

PB
