Cisco Telepresence Codec JSON Feedback Support
I recently started experimenting with Cisco’s CE 8.3 software for the SX and MX video units in search of new and useful features particularly around the API. To my surprise, there was something new! JSON support for http feedback!
Raspberry Pi Node Red and Cisco Codec Integration
In my first two tutorials I explained the API and how the XML data is passed to and from a Cisco Telepresence codec’s such as a SX or MX unit. In this article I will explain how I more specifically leveraged a Raspberry Pi and Node-Red to both receive commands from the codec as well as how to push data back to it for display on the touch 10.

The problem with this is there is no easy way to have the codec itself issue commands to other devices. To put it differently it cannot initiate an action it can only wait for and perform actions. Fortunately, in the 8.X code this problem has been addressed by a feedback mechanism.
