storage.local.format (Format SD card)

storage.local.format: Format SD card

storage.local.format · Device scope · Permission Format

What it does

Formats the local SD card. Input sd.cardIndexs, up to 100 indexes. One invoke runs one format. eMMC format service (thing model std_emmc_format) is not in the open standard—do not send emmc in the request.

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 storage management permission. A bound sub-user does not. A sub-account needs Format. A timeout does not mean the operation did not run.
