update-tool
Update Rhombus device configurations like camera video, audio, and device settings through a guided multi-step process.
Instructions
This tool allows updating configuration settings for various Rhombus entities. Currently supports:
Cameras: Update video settings (resolution, HDR, WDR, brightness, contrast, etc.), audio settings (recording, microphone, speaker), and device settings (name, timezone, LED control).
For LED control, use EXACTLY these field names in cameraDeviceSettings:
To turn LED off: {"led_stealth_mode": true} (recommended) or {"led_mode": "always_off"}
To turn LED on: {"led_stealth_mode": false} or {"led_mode": "always_on"} or {"led_mode": "auto"}
IMPORTANT: Use underscore in field names (led_mode, led_stealth_mode), not camelCase
The tool supports faceted UUIDs (e.g., "cameraUuid.v0" or "cameraUuid.v1") to update specific camera facets. If no facet is specified, defaults to "v0".
The tool guides users through a multi-step process:
Entity selection (if not provided)
Settings configuration with current values shown
Confirmation and application of changes
Future support planned for:
Climate sensors
Door controllers
Environmental gateways
Audio gateways
Doorbell cameras
Badge readers
The tool uses elicitation forms for rich user interaction and shows current settings before updates.
Output filtering (all tools):
includeFields(string[]): Dot-notation paths to keep in the response (e.g."vehicleEvents.vehicleLicensePlate"). Omit to return all fields.filterBy(array): Predicates to filter array items. Each entry:{field, op, value}where op is one of= != > >= < <= contains. All conditions are ANDed. Example:[{field:"vehicleLicensePlate", op:"=", value:"ABC123"}]WARNING: some tool responses exceed 400k characters — use these params to request only the data you need.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| entityType | Yes | Type of entity to update | |
| entityUuid | Yes | UUID of the entity to update | |
| cameraVideoSettings | Yes | JSON string of video settings to update for camera | |
| cameraAudioSettings | Yes | JSON string of audio settings to update for camera | |
| cameraDeviceSettings | Yes | JSON string of device settings to update for camera | |
| step | Yes | Current step in the update process | |
| includeFields | Yes | Dot-notation field paths to include in the response (e.g. "vehicleEvents.vehicleLicensePlate"). Pass null to return all fields. WARNING: some responses can exceed 400k characters — use includeFields to request only the data you need. For high-volume tools this may be required to get a complete answer. | |
| filterBy | Yes | Filter array items in the response by field values. All conditions are ANDed. Example: [{field: "vehicleLicensePlate", op: "=", value: "ABC123"}, {field: "confidence", op: ">", value: 0.8}] Use alongside includeFields to get only the specific records and fields you need. |
