Additional Info

Many APIs have other optional parameters you can send as well - details are on the sites in the API documentation.

On the ISY - there are potentially some issues with SSL negotiation depending on if you have the PRO version or not. Go into the dashboard (http://www.universal-devices.com/99i/dashboard.jnlp‎) and in the network settings make sure 'HTTPS Client Settings' is set to 'TLS 1.2' and 'All' is set for strength. Uncheck 'Verify'.

Other settings may work - this is just what works for me - and it's a security best practice now to avoid SSL3.

Currently - a separate network resource needs to be created for each potential action. So - one for 'Light On' and another for 'Light Off'. This makes it difficult to send, for instance, the current temperature. Version 5 of ISY is likely to make available variable substitution in network resources, which will remove this shortcoming.
