T-Shell Tips for developers

Simply SSH to your Collaboration Device and run the commands below:

Listen to events

The 'xfeedback' commands let you see all events fired on your device.
This is very useful to investigate possibilities, and take shortcut without going through the whole documentation at times.

# Listen to all notifications (events, status, commands)
xfeedback register /

# Listen to UI Extensions events
xfeedback register /Event/UserInterface/Extensions

# Stop listening
xfeedback deregisterall

Send messages

Sending messages lets you craft custom APIs, by coming up with your own protocols, aka, Event Driven Architectures.
One code will send a serialized message, the other code will capture the message and decode it.

# Listen to messages
xfeedback register /Event/Message/Send

# Send message
xCommand Message Send Text: "This is random text"

Check the message Macro for an example in JavaScript.
