Commands
You can interact with a vehicle to produce an effect on it through an API call.
Each vehicle supports different commands.
Warning
Interactions with a vehicle may take some time.
For this reason, we have a timeout of 45 seconds on the requests handled by our system.
We suggest you set a timeout equal to or greater than 50 seconds.
Generic commands
2hire defines three generic commands on every compatible vehicle.
We choose these three commands to compose our generic set because we consider them essential to interact with a vehicle.
We abstract the idea of command taken from various use cases to obtain a single behaviour on all the compatible vehicles, regardless of the specific implementation on the vehicle.
Requires authorization
