I am looking forward to create a UiMagician binding for NEST users. At present UiMagician have binding for VSCP iot project.

Please suggest right path for documentation for gateway agent so that REST communication can be establish to communicate with REST device.
Also if some reference example javascript code is available then please suggest the right link.
NEST home simulator does it create the virtual device or it create a HTML app to controll the devices.
https://developer.nest.com/documentation/cloud/home-simulator
The simulator is to create virtual devices for testing. You login with a new nest account and you can add devices and locations.
Link to Chrome App
There are also Javascript code samples here
What you need to decide is whether you will do REST polling or have a real-time REST Streaming/Firebase.

I am building a tool in which I am using windows device portal wrapper in order to connect and access hololen's device portal.
I would like to be able to get/set kiosk mode from my tool so I dont need to go to device portal and do it manually.
Windows device portal wrapper doesnt give any functionality to access kiosk mode though.
Does anyone know the web api path for this?
Thanks in advance
So since it looks like you're building a tool for converting HoloLens into Kiosks, you need to do this at scale. If you are looking to create a different method of converting your HoloLens into Kiosks, I think you should go provisiong packages.
Provisioning packages will let you make a package you can keep applying to multiple HoloLens. Also some companies don't like enabling developer mode, and this is a method that doesn't have a security risk. Also device portal only allows a single app Kiosk, where as you could create a Multi app Kiosk if you wanted using other methods.

Do this help things? I know it's not actually what you were looking for, but hopefully it helps. It it doesn't let me know, I might have a different potential solution.
Kiosk Mode can be set via Device Portal’s REST API by doing a POST to /api/holographic/kioskmode/settings with one required query string parameter (“kioskModeEnabled” with a value of “true” or “false”) and one optional parameter (“startupApp” with a value of a package name). Please keep in mind that Device Portal is intended for developers only and should not be enabled on non-developer devices. The REST API is subject to change in future updates/releases.
So i'm designing a new application with Nodejs and packaging into an executable then putting a release in github, I want to be able to monitor how many people are using my executable?
I was thinking about creating an api server and my application just make a call to that API service but I thought there might be something already out there any help?
The easiest way is to connect third party services that do that. The most famous one is Google Analytics
You just need to create your developer account and embed a few lines of tracking code. After that you can see full info about your visitors including their location.
I have setup the application insights for my app, I can see all the data when I am running my app from the PC, when I am debugging the app running on device, I still see the data in the VS output window and can see "Data from Debug session telemetry" option in Visual studio, but the data from the device is not showing up at app insight portal. Any idea, what might be wrong?
Things to check:
does your UWP app allow outbound network calls? depending on the template/version you started with, the UWP app might not be allowed to send outbound data at all, preventing data from being sent to appinsights.
is it going out at all? use fiddler or something similar (including the extra work to enable it to see traffic from UWP apps, and allow it to decode https) look for outbound calls to dc.services.visualstudio.com
if it is going out, is it being accepted/succeeding? or are the calls failing?
if it is going out, is it using the ikey you expect? so that the data is actually going to the same app you're looking at on the portal
As others have commented, if you want a newer SDK, the hockeyapp.uwp nuget package also allows you to send data to application insights.
I am trying to build a mobile web app using worklight .I checked the IBM website but they have limited documentation on it.I wanted to know is there any inbuilt API provided by IBM in order to develop the mobile web app?
I am specifically looking for API to to control the refresh button and the back button in mobile web browser
Why limited? Where did you look? There is comprehensive user documentation and training modules in the following websites:
IBM Worklight Getting Started training modules
IBM Worklight user documentation: client-side JavaScript API reference
Regardless, there is no such thing as "controlling a browser's Back and Refresh buttons".
These buttons are provided by the mobile browser and are out of scope for whatever is running within.
It would be more beneficial for you to edit the question and explain your specific scenario - what it is that you are actually trying to accomplish.
In Worklight, you have WL.Client.reloadApp, for example, which can be used to refresh the web resources displayed. As for "back button"-like functionality, this can only be determined once you explain what you are trying to accomplish.
Additionally, keep in mind that while Worklight provides some API methods for controlling UI elements, it does so only to a certain degree and only for elements that are most common to all mobile environments (iOS, Android, ... for example, creating a tabbar); when you develop a web app for the Mobile Web environment, you cannot control via the app things like the Refresh button that the mobile browser supplies.
Lastly, you can and probably should opt to 3rd party frameworks such as jQuery Mobile and the like for the UI aspect in your Worklight application.
So assuming you've already launched media on the receiver from an iOS/Android/Web app, how can another web app join this activity and control the media? I noticed that the cast API has a 'JOIN_ACTIVITY' in it, but there's nothing that currently uses it. Nor do you know the activity's ID to join it..
This is similar to How to check if a ChromeCast Session is already in progress however, this answer does not help to connect to an existing application
However, using the javascript API, even if you know your app is running I can't find a way to connect to it without re-launching
I managed to get some answers from the Google engineering team:
We allow clients to reconnect to the same session if they are launched
from the same origin (i.e. http://www.somedomain.com:80/). We don't
have the support in the V1 protocol stack to implement this across
multiple browsers. We can hard code something for V1 like mapping
origins to app ids, but it will still be some eng effort to add the
API support as well.
In short, the functionality from Android and iOS is currently missing from the Chrome SDK... hope it comes out soon.
EDIT: To update this, now that the official public SDK has been released, this is now supported!
