Automation

Fusion allows for remote control of certain functions by external applications via a REST API.The functions that can be controlled externally are

• Get Current Protocol

• Set Protocol by Name

• Run/Pause/Resume/Stop protocol.

• Get Current Protocol State

• Get Protocol Progress

Details of the API message requests can be found here: C:\Program Files\Fusion\Rest

Note: Some items will not be available as the outlined documentation is for Fusion for Dragonfly. Fusion Benchtop has a simplified UI and limited options.

Activation

Automation control can be activated via the REST API preference menu, along with the port that fusion listens on. 

Automation is currently restricted to only allow connections from the local machine.
