Examples

Connecting to the Cloud

using(var cloud = new ParticleCloud())
{
    var result = await cloud.LoginWithUserAsync("[email protected]", "test");
    if(result.Success) // User is logged in
    {
        // Continue to next step
    }
    else // User is not logged in
    {
        // tell the user there not logged in
    }
}

Get a list of devices

var result = await cloud.GetDevicesAsync();
if(result.Success)
{
    List<ParticleDevice> list = result.Data;
    foreach(var device in list)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(device.Name);
    }
}

Call a function on a device

    var result = await device.CallFunction("Name", "Parameter");
    if(result.Success)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Name Fuction Returned: {0}", result.Data);
    }
    else
    {
        // Error while calling function
    }

Get a Variable Value

    var result = await device.GetVariableValueAsync("temp");
    if(result.Success)
    {
        var variable = result.Data;
        Console.WriteLine("Variable {0} with type {1} has the value {2}", variable.Name, variable.Type, variable.Value);
        // Refresh the value with the variable object
        var r = await variable.RefreshValueAsync();
        if(r.Success)
        {
            // The value has been updated
            Console.WriteLine("Updated Value {0}", variable.Value);
        }
        else
        {
            // There was a problem refreshing the value
            Console.WriteLine("Error Updating variable value: Error {0} ErrorDescription {1}", r.Error, r.ErrorDescription);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // Error while getting variable value
    }
