Creating a mobile app with our REST API

By -
For you technical folk out there we've put together an example of using our REST API to create a mobile app. The purpose of the app is to compliment your signage by providing viewers the ability to view a playlist in slideshow format on their mobile device. The playlist could be one currently playing on your sign or a completely different playlist from your library. To access the app viewers scan a QR code on the sign which loads the app in their mobile browser. A great example scenario for this would be in a retail environment where customers could scan and take the signage with them for viewing coupons or store specials. Scan the QR code for a preview of the app in action.

We've provided a KB article on our support site here: http://support.reveldigital.com/kb/advanced-topics/use-the-rest-api-to-create-a-mobile-app

"Ask my signage to tell me the status of lobby screen".
Again, the player is named 'lobby screen', and Alexa will enunciate the current status of the player, as well as send a current scre…
