use api to turn on all lights to a specific color

[calioptrix]

the xschedule webpage has a test plugin that can turn all the lights on a certain color. How do I replicate this functionality with http get/post requests?

Create a Pixel Overlay Model which includes channels for your whole display and then use the REST API to call the FPP Commands to turn the model on/off, set the color, etc..

See http://yourfppip/apihelp.php and http://yourfppip/api/commands for more info on usage.

I've tried the fill command but I'm not getting any lights. I have one strand of 50 lights. Start channel is 1.

Here's the output of /api/models

[{"ChannelCount":150,"ChannelCountPerNode":3,"Name":"Test1","Orientation":"horizontal","StartChannel":1,"StartCorner":"TL","StrandsPerString":1,"StringCount":1}]

using apihelp.php, I tried to send a fill put command but nothing happens.

PUT /api/api/overlays/model/Test1/fill
{  "RGB": [    255,    0,    0  ] }
{
  "Status": "OK",
  "Message": ""
}


I've tried with fppd in player (standalone) mode and bridge mode.

If I try the pixel command /api/overlays/model/Test1/pixel

{  "X": 1,  "Y": 1,  "RGB": [    255,    0,    0  ] }

I get a proxy error?

Here are some example usages:

# enable the P10Matrix overlay model
curl -X PUT -d '{ "State": 1 }' http://192.168.3.122/api/overlays/model/P10Matrix/state
# fill the P10Matrix model with red
curl -X PUT -d '{ "RGB": [ 255, 0, 0 ] }' http://192.168.3.122/api/overlays/model/P10Matrix/fill
# clear the P10Matrix model by filling it with black
curl -X PUT -d '{ "RGB": [ 0, 0, 0 ] }' http://192.168.3.122/api/overlays/model/P10Matrix/fill
# disable the P10Matrix model
curl -X PUT -d '{ "State": 0 }' http://192.168.3.122/api/overlays/model/P10Matrix/state
