I have need to control lighting from a Powerpoint presentation. All I need is to be able to trigger events when a slide is active. It looks like the JSON interface might work.
Anyone have experience with this?
Also, I can't seem to get the JSON interface to work. All I get are timeouts. I have JSON on, and am using the default port. I'm sending the URLs from a different computer. Do I need to use https? user and pass? Nothing I've tried so far works.
The requests that I've tried are getstatus, which I assume would generate some output back to the browser window, and runevent, which is attempting to trigger an event I set up to test that will send me an email when triggered.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm also open to using some other interface/API that would work from Powerpoint.
