• Describe an overview of the IoT Controller API and relevant high-level functions
• Describe describes API principles and Authentication for the IoT controller and external applications.
• Describes examples of using the REST API using Command line Curl to read and Write to a device using the API.
• Describe using APIs with the Node-Red rules engine to configure authentications to the IoT controller and then reading from a device using  API examples to read a door and motion IAS sensor device.
• Describe how to use the API in a rule’s environment with the IoT controller to write values to a device i.e. a bulb, to find the commands and format in the message to turn on/off a bulb using rules-based actions.
• Describe how to use the MQTT plugin to detect events from the IoT controller device and sensors and display their details for future rules-based action using the IoT Controller.
