Hi,

&nbsp;

I was excited to hear about the release of a room control API, this will likely be a game changer for the adoption of Zoom in integrated environments.

However, many control processors don’t have the ability to do SSH. How likely is the possibility of exposing the API via telnet or similar clear text protocol?

Hi Callum,

What control processors are you currently testing?

Kind regards

Telnet will not be supported any time in the future for the ZR-CSAPI.&nbsp; SSH only.

I’m currently playing with a proof of concept for the Q-Sys platform.

I’m using the PC beta at present. Do you want bugs reported here? I have seen cases where when the format is set to JSON, I occasionally get non json replies.
