[SOLVED] How to call a function using local cloud and photon

Troubleshooting
1

I’m just setting up local cloud on my server and after exchanging keys, I’ve successfully gotten my photon to connect to my local server. I’ve already uploaded a simple app onto the photon where calling a function "justblink" will pulse pin D7 (connected to the LED) for 100 ms. How do I call justblink using the local cloud?

It seems to me that in order to do this, I will have to ‘claim’ my photon to the local cloud. However, I cannot seem to do this. Running "particle setup" (after changing config to local cloud) errors out because the page "/v1/device_claims" is not found on my local cloud instance. I read in another thread that this was intentional and suggested that we use "particle core add <mydeviceid>" instead. I get "successfully claimed device <mydeviceid>", but upon close inspection, this is not the case. This is how I know:

$ curl http://10.0.2.166:8080/v1/devices -d access_token=xxx
{
  "ok": true
}
$ curl http://10.0.2.166:8080/v1/devices/<mydeviceid> -d access_token=xxx
Not Found

So is there anyway I can manually claim the core in order to be able to call my function through my local cloud?

Nevermind! I figured out my problem smacks forehead I’ll leave this here just in case someone else is facing the same situation.

Both calls I listed above should be GET requests, as opposed to POST, which is what I was doing. Passing -G fixed the problem!

$ curl -G http://10.0.2.166:8080/v1/devices/<mydeviceid> -d access_token=xxx
{
  "id": "mydeviceid",
  "name": null,
  "connected": true,
  "variables": {},
  "functions": [
    "justblink"
  ]
}

A note though: calling the function must be POST request to /v1/devices/<devid>/<func>

Can you upload the whole code? I want to try it. Thanks.
