Pinoccio Command Flow

This flow sends commands to the remote pinoccio via HQ API calls. Node-RED version >= 0.7.1 is required, due to the use of the new templating feature of http request nodes.

This flow uses an API token which is configured in the "Pinoccio Config" inject Node.

It's useful if you want to send scoutscripts commands (via HQ) using anything that is not a "direct" REST call.

Configuration is done within Pinoccio Config node. There you have to define your HQ API Token in the Payload:

{ "token": "yourtokenhere" }

Use Topic Property to define the root of the MQTT topics used i.e. pinoccio/v1/

Command Payload Example:

{"troop": "1", "scout": "2", "topic": "result", "command": "pin.write(\"d8\", HIGH)"}

Please note that at the moment any double quote (") character in command string must be escaped.
