Web: Need Device ID

I've inspected the response object from the API for devices, and can't seem to find the ID of each device for CastleOS.
For example, I can turn on a Group or Scene by ID, by using the "value" field from GetAllScenes for example.
But for devices, there are two fields. "address" and "uniqueId". Parsing either of these to ToggleDevicePower does not turn the device on/off. So I need to know which ID I should be using for this endpoint.

You're looking for "uniqueId", "address" is the protocol-specific address of the device and isn't used by the API when looking for a device Id. ToggleDevicePower should work, just be sure you include the second variable which is true/false for on/off.

Perfect. Got it! Checked the docs and notice that endpoint uses id and not deviceId

FYI: Groups and Scenes use numeric ids in sequence, while everything else uses a GUID...
