| Driver Info | Detail |

| Driver Type: | Live Only |
| Platforms: | All |
Driver Settings
This driver has a couple of options.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Port Number | The HTTP port that requests will be sent to |
| JSON Key | Adds the named JSON elements as part of the point address. |
For example, a JSON key of device.id and wanted to extract the 'temp' value from the payload below…
{ "device": "Alpha", "id": 92, "temp": 32 }
…you would use the address 'Alpha.92.temp' to bind data to the temperature.
Access Control
Before any device can send data, you'll need to register it using the webhook addon.
The basic flow is…
* In Administration, press Webhook Setup.
* Click Add Source,
* Enter a human-readable name for the device,
* Optionally, enter a set of filters as a JSON object. Any values will be required.
Once you've done this, you'll be given a unique API key you can add to your requests (either as a parameter or as an HTTP header) to sign your requests.
