Shivam Paw Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Hi Lets say I have a JSON api that will give me information on trains and which train I should catch today. Is there a way to automate this with control4 so that every morning it will check the API and I can have it play an announcement across the house? Im guessing what i need is a way to access a web page and decode the json data. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILoveC4 Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Yeah...I like the idea but I haven’t seen a driver that parses out JSON and drops it somewhere...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could work with it to get something working I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
