Lifesize

Lifesize Icon Automation API

The automation and control interface built into Lifesize Icon video systems (models 300, 400, 450, 500, 600, 700, 800). It exposes a REST method for accessing a set of resources through a fixed set of operations, plus the Lifesize Automation Command Line Interface (CLI) for command-based control. Reachable over an HTTPS or SSH connection to the system on the network, authenticated with the same administrator credentials used for browser access. The API is self-documenting on the device: the REST reference is served at /docs/json and the CLI reference at /docs/clish. Commands take the form " " and cover retrieving configuration (system version, camera settings), modifying preferences (speaker volume, bandwidth, auto-answer), displaying call status and statistics, and controlling calls (adding participants, emulating remote-control functions).
