 === variable command messages ===
-The ''updateValue'' command is currently the only command message you can send to the variable feed. It closely mirrors the Python-based [[indigo_2025.2_documentation:object_model_reference|IOM command for updating variables]]. This was completely intentional to make learning one API a stepping stone to another. The HTTP API messages and the Websocket API messages are identical, and are very clearly a JSON-rendered version of the associated IOM command.

 The id key is optional, but may contain a user generated ID that will be logged and returned to help match up with message requests. Custom id values should be strings. The parameters dict is required and must contain a value key/value pair. The value must be a string, but an empty string is accepted. The folder key/value pair is optional. If a folder ID is included that doesn't exist, Indigo will ignore it and create the variable outside all folders.
