device.restore.execute (Factory reset)

device.restore.execute: Factory reset

What it does

Factory reset (device.restore.execute). Historically equivalent reset flows use this API. This method does not appear in device.capability.list. Do not interchange with Restore default configuration in one step (system.maintenance.restore, restores defaults only, not factory reset). Legacy restoreIotDevice / iotRestoreFactory semantics are documented in OpenAPI cross-references; the capability invoke cfg is only another entry point.

Request URL

POST https://openapi-[DataCenter].easy4ip.com/openapi/v2/device.restore.execute

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.

Request parameters

NameTypeRequiredDefaultLegal valuesDescription
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
typeIntegerno00 / 1Reset level: 0 soft reset (often keeps binding and partial config); 1 hard factory reset. Devices without this semantics ignore it
