A fun way to use Postman, the Meraki Dashboard API, and a simple Sonos HTTP API to trigger sound clips

• Meraki MR AP's (planets in the "Meraki System")
  • use Postman to check for the presence of associated Rebel clients !
  • a sample Postman collection is included in this repo
• Raspberry Pi (or your laptop running Node-RED & Sonos HTTP API server - see below)
• Sonos Play

• Node-RED (http://nodered.org and great examples by Cory Guynn here: http://internetoflego.com)
• Postman (http://getpostman.com)
• Meraki Dashboard API (for Rebel client lookups)
• Sonos HTTP API - (nice & simple ! https://github.com/jishi/node-sonos-http-api)
  • local sound clips are placed in the static/clips directory
  • clip volume is set in the lib/actions/clip.js file

• Sound clips - find them or make your own with Audacity and Soundflower

• Import the sample Node-RED flow here:

https://github.com/knakashima/death-star-api/blob/master/death-star-api-node-red-flow

• Import the Postman collection:

https://github.com/knakashima/death-star-api/blob/master/DeathStar.postman_collection.json

• Input your own serial numbers of Meraki MR's that will be polled for Rebel clients via the Dashboard API

• The Galactic Empire has tracked Rebel forces to the "Meraki System"
• Stormtroopers have secretly deployed Meraki MR's to broadcast "The Force" free wifi

1. Use Postman and the Meraki Dashboard API to search for associated Rebel clients on the MR planets

Looks like we've found a Rebel smart plug below !:

2. After locating the Rebels, use the Death Star API (Postman) to GET/POST planet coordinates for destruction !

For alternate sounds, use the manual test inputs (inject nodes) or send different inputs in the HTTP requests via Postman (all included in the collection)
