Display TEXT to LED Panels form REST API

[ariemusbandi]

I have a project to display data from a REST API on a P5 LED panel connected to a Raspberry Pi 3 and Falcon Player. The API data contains temperature, air humidity, and text messages. How can I create a script for implementation in Falcon Player?

FPP's "/api/overlays/model/:ModelName/text" REST API endpoint can be used to put text on an Overlay Model created for your P5 display.  See the 'REST API Help' section under the Help menu for more info.

I was try with curl command like this

curl -X PUT "http://192.168.33.249/api/overlays/model/LED%20Panels/text" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
  "Message": "Hello",
  "Position": "L2R",
  "Font": "Helvetica",
  "FontSize": 12,
  "AntiAlias": false,
  "PixelsPerSecond": 5,
  "Color": "#FF000",
  "AutoEnable": false
}'

and the response is 
{ "Status": "OK", "Message": ""}

but nothing happen in my LED Panels, What shoot i do

The overlay model is probably not enabled.  Either use the AutoEnable above set to true or you can use the /api/overlays/model/:ModelName/state endpoint to enable the model in a separate call.
