The autoupdate feature in the Kinetic devices checks for updates every 24 hours (or other configured length of time). The GET autoupdate.json feature allows you to override the scheduled frequency and check for available updates now.
This only triggers the checking of the update service. If an update is available, the files are downloaded in the background without interrupting the normal use of the terminal.
Request
GET: https://ip-10-0-1-196.devices.kineticsmart.com:44443/api/v1/autoupdate.json
Response
The following response will be returned:
{"description":"Checking for update","success":true}
If a transaction is underway, you can expect the following response:
{"description":"Transaction in progress","success":false}
Note that this function only initiates the check for an update. If an update is present, GET info.json and GET settings.json will both return an ‘update_ready’ key with a true/false value to indicate whether or not an update is available for installing.
