Check status of projector via curl

You can check the value of any state_var by querying /devices/projector with the vvalue you want to know about. So, for example, if you want to check if the projector's power field is on (true) send a GET HTTP request:

curl -XGET localhost:1412/devices/projector/power

Turning projector on or off via curl

To turn a projector on send a post request to devices/projector/power curl -XPOST -d '{"value": true}' localhost:1412/devices/projector/power

To turn a projector off send a post request to devices/projector/power curl -XPOST -d '{"value": false}' localhost:1412/devices/projector/power
