Digital Signage Player Status Info Web Application

Dear Intuiface Community,

In short:
If you or your customers need to monitor Intuiface Players without accessing the Intuiface CMS, this application is for you.

The full story:
Over the past month, I’ve been developing a web application that allows me, our support team, our customers, and their IT support teams to monitor Intuiface Players without granting access to the Intuiface CMS. This tool was created to address a common challenge: when customers are given access to the CMS dashboard, they gain access to everything within it. Additionally, some of our clients have Intuiface Players deployed across multiple locations and need a way for their IT teams to monitor player statuses without full CMS access.

Initially, I built a draft version using Microsoft Power Apps, a low-code development platform. However, I quickly discovered that making HTTP requests is a premium feature, meaning I’d have to pay for every user in my company. This led me to explore a no-code solution instead.

After a month of development (and running out of my daily prompts!), I finally created a functional web application. Once I was confident in its potential, I invested in additional resources to bring it to life.

Here’s what you need to know:

The application is fully functional, and I plan to add more features as I gain confidence in its performance. Best of all, it’s completely free—a small gift to the Intuiface community for Chinese New Year!

I hope you find it useful, and I welcome your feedback and suggestions for improvement.

Based on the recommendation regarding privacy, I have made the following changes.

  • The API will now be encrypted once added. The encrypted version is stored in the database and shown in the UI. You no longer can see it. (see attached image)
  • The app now uses the X-API-KEY as a header instead of the old style.
  • The PDF documentation reflects these changes.
  • Email authentication is added when you sign up or reset the password.

Thank you.
