  title: Devialet IP Control Groups API
  version: '1'
  summary: Local-network HTTP control API for Devialet Phantom speakers and accessories.
  description: 'The Devialet IP Control API is an unauthenticated HTTP API served by Devialet devices themselves on the local network. Starting with DOS 2.14 firmware, the Phantom range (Phantom I, Phantom II, and the Arch and Dialog accessories) exposes device, system, and group state plus playback, volume, equalizer, night-mode, Bluetooth pairing, and power/restart/factory-reset commands over plain HTTP on port 80 under the `/ipcontrol/v1` path prefix. Devices are discovered with mDNS/DNS-SD: they register `_http._tcp` service instances whose TXT record carries `manufacturer=Devialet`, `ipControlVersion=1`, and `path=/ipcontrol/v1`. Queries use GET and are guaranteed not to change device state; commands use POST and require `Content-Type: application/json`. Regular (non-transport) errors are returned inside a `200 OK` response as an `error` object rather than as an HTTP error status.'

    note: Devialet publishes this API as a PDF reference document, not as a machine-readable specification. This OpenAPI is an API Evangelist derivation that transcribes only what the Revision 1 reference document specifies. It is not published or endorsed by Devialet. Endpoints that the reference mentions in passing but does not specify (`/devices/{deviceId}/identify`, `/groups/{groupId}/sources/current/soundControl/volume`, `/groups/{groupId}/sources/current/playback/position`) are deliberately omitted here and recorded in conventions/devialet-conventions.yml instead.
