Sends a technician/remote command to a single vehicle's unit. Write action — returns one row echoing the command status.

Try in playground
POST/api— body field action.name = "send_unit_command_tech"

Parameters

NameTypeRequiredDescription
vehicle_idnumberrequiredTarget vehicle id (positive). Missing or invalid returns action_value '1'.e.g. 591723
command_typenumberrequiredCommand to send — must be 1 or 2. Any other value returns action_value '1'.e.g. 1
interval_secondsnumberoptionalSeconds between repeats when transmission_count is greater than 1.e.g. 30
transmission_countnumberoptionalHow many times to send the command. Defaults to 1.e.g. 3

Notes

action_value '1' = missing/invalid vehicle_id or command_type; '999' = no unit found for the vehicle, or internal error. On success, action_value is '0' and data is an empty array The interval_seconds / transmission_count / session_seconds trio is echoed back only when a cyclic plan was requested; a one-shot command returns user_message, dry_run and status alone.

Body
{
  "action": {
    "name": "send_unit_command_tech",
    "parameters": [
      {
        "vehicle_id": 591723,
        "command_type": 1,
        "interval_seconds": 30,
        "transmission_count": 3
      }
    ]
  }
}

Response

Successful responses always wrap the action's payload in response.properties. The action_value field reports the handler outcome: "0" for success, "1" for invalid params, "2" for not allowed, "3" for limit-exceeded /pagination-session-expired, "999" for general error.

Authentication is checked before the action runs and fails the same way for every action. A token that is not valid returns HTTP 200 with action_value "2" and description invalid_session; an empty bearer returns "2" with session_token_required. Read the description to tell these apart from an action's own "2". With no Authorization header the gateway answers HTTP 401 {"message":"Unauthorized"}, and with a bearer that is not a token HTTP 403 {"message":"Forbidden"}.
