Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the bundled code). Specifically, for the resource User and operation Update Bound User Specific Key Pad Force Disarm Password, it allows updating the force disarm password on a keypad that is bound to a specific user. This is useful in security or access control systems where individual users have personalized keypad codes for disarming alarms or security devices.

Typical use cases include:

  • Changing a user's keypad disarm password remotely via automation.
  • Managing user-specific security credentials in a centralized system.
  • Integrating with security hardware APIs to update access codes dynamically.

Example: An administrator wants to reset the force disarm password for a particular user’s keypad after a security incident or as part of routine maintenance.

Properties

Name Meaning
User Id The unique identifier of the main user whose keypad password is being updated.
Hub Id The identifier of the hub (central device/controller) associated with the user/keypad.
Bound User Id The identifier of the specific bound user whose keypad force disarm password will change.
New Password The new force disarm password to set; must be 4 to 6 digits long.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the password update operation. This typically includes confirmation of success or failure, and may contain details such as updated user or keypad information returned by the Ajax API.

If the operation involves binary data (not indicated here), it would represent related media or files, but this operation focuses on JSON responses only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for response-operation resolution and execution.
  • Uses internal backend modules for state management, HTTP client communication, and operation methods.
  • The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Credentials: If the API key is missing or incorrect, authentication errors will occur. Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Invalid Input Data: The new password must be 4 to 6 digits; providing invalid formats may cause API rejection.
  • Resource or Operation Mismatch: Selecting unsupported combinations of resource and operation will lead to errors.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the Ajax API endpoint can cause timeouts or failures.
  • API Errors: The Ajax API might return error messages if the user, hub, or bound user IDs are invalid or do not exist.

To resolve these issues:

  • Verify all required input fields are correctly filled.
  • Confirm API credentials are valid and have necessary permissions.
  • Check network connectivity.
  • Review API documentation for correct parameter formats.
