Hello Prabhat,

I can show you one trick. In the Composer go to your Thing with Location property. You can set the value manually:

In meanwhile go to the browser Developer Tools (F12 in Chrome) and then to the Network Tab.
Come back to the Composer and click Done to set dummy value.

Every change like this is also a REST PUT request. So you can take a look on the Headers and Request Payload to see how it should look like.

I hope it helps.

Adam

My bad, I forgot to tell you that property names must be also in quotes just like this:

{

    "location": {

        "latitude": 50,

        "longitude": 50,

        "elevation": 50

    }

}

Remember that JSON format require property names in quotes.

Adam

Thanks, It worked out.

So the correct format of JSON will be ( for other buddies who might face same same problem)

{ "loc": {"latitude": "0.1111", "longitude": "0.22222", "elevation": "033333", "units": "WGS84"}}
