control.motor.directionGet (Get motor direction)

control.motor.directionGet: Get motor direction

control.motor.directionGet · device scope · permission Config

What it does

Reads current motor rotation direction (std_getMotorDirect). One invocation performs one read. No input fields—pass inputData as {}. If the UI direction is reversed after installation or calibration, use Set motor direction to swap.

Request URL

POST https://openapi-[DataCenter].easy4ip.com/openapi/v2/device.service.invoke

Minimum permission

The administrator does not need an extra permission on a device they bound. A shared device needs the basic configuration permission. A bound sub-user does not. A sub-account needs Config. Do not send channelId on device-scope service invoke. A timeout does not mean the device did not apply the change.

Request parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
tokenStringyesAccess token for an administrator, sub-user, or sub-account
deviceIdStringyesDevice serial number
productIdStringnoOptional. If sent and it does not match the device model → DV2009
serviceIdStringyescontrol.motor.directionGet
inputDataObjectconditionalPass {} when there is no input
