idle.show#
{"v":1,"cmd":"idle.show"}
Back to the idle screen at once, without a goodbye. A running session ends; its data is dropped.
This is the command for everything that is not an orderly conclusion: the workplace is being locked, the staff go on a break, business is broken off. What is on the screen is then nobody else's business – and nobody is said goodbye to who did not intend to leave.
idle.slides#
{"v":1,"cmd":"idle.slides","seconds":8,
"slides":[{"image":"c:\\display\\welcome.jpg"},
{"image":"https://…/campaign.png","seconds":15}]}

An empty list restores the display's own default.
Which image sources a display accepts is stated in caps: idle.file for file
paths, idle.url for addresses. If it does not accept a source it answers
400 bad_request and leaves the existing sequence untouched.
