Wildcard Recipe: Nexus21 Apex Motorized TV Wall Mount
Problem
Your Crestron Home project includes one or more Nexus21 Apex Motorized TV mounts. The API requires HTTP POST commands.
Solution
<>The Ultamation HTTP POST Wildcard module can be used to send commands to the device, via manual button presses or by integrating the commands into actions and sequences in Crestron Home.
-
Add the Ultamation HTTP POST Wildcard driver to Crestron Home
-
Configure your chosen commands for buttons or discrete commands (under Actions/Sequences) using the information in the table, and examples below.
-
You’re in the 1-hour trial period window - give your new integration a test drive!
-
Once you’re happy everything is working, purchase a licence key for your processor from HTTP/S POST "Wildcard" for Crestron Home
-
Add the licence key to your Crestron Home configuration (under “Installer Settings”)
