I'm using the API runner to test the entity api to change a vehicle group. I'm getting "undefined" as the result. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time and help.
api.call("Set", {
"typeName": "Device",
"entity":{
"name":"13651",
"id":"bB16",
"groups":[{"id": "b27B8"}]
}
}, function(result) {
console.log("Done: ", result);
}, function(e) {
console.error("Failed:", e);
});

Hey @DPete-1854,
You code looks correct, assuming the device ID and name are set properly in your parameters, this should be performing the update.
However, calling the API method Set does not return the new updated entity, hence the undefined return value. You must re-fetch the entity using a followup request using the Get method with a valid search.
Please note that this Set request is overriding all groups on this device, leaving the group with id: b27B8 assigned as the only group to this device. If you are simply intending to add a group, you should first Get the device, and set the entity in the Set to this device, and add your group to the existing array of group objects. Let me know if you need help with this.
Thank you for the reply and direction, its much appreciated. My goal is to replace the existing group with the new group.
