Syntax

getSystemInfo(String[] keys[, Boolean subscribe])

Parameters

Name	Required	Type	Description
keys	Required	String array	An array of key names for retrieving system information. Example: ["boardType", "projectName"]
subscribe	Optional	Boolean	Flag that decides whether to subscribe or not. If you enabled the subscription, you will get an event when every system information you specified is changed. true: Subscribe false: Do not subscribe. Call the method only once. (Default)

Call Returns

Name	Required	Type	Description
returnValue	Required	Boolean	Flag that indicates success/failure of the request. true: Success false: Failure
errorCode	Optional	String	errorCode contains the error code if the method fails. The method will return errorCode only if it fails. See the Error Codes Reference of this method for more details.

Example

// One-time call
var request = webOS.service.request("luna://com.webos.service.tv.systemproperty", {
    method: "getSystemInfo",
    parameters: { 
        "keys": ["modelName", "firmwareVersion", "UHD", "sdkVersion"]
    },
    onComplete: function (inResponse) {
        var isSucceeded = inResponse.returnValue;

        if (isSucceeded){
            console.log("Result: " + JSON.stringify(inResponse));
            // To-Do something
        } else {
            console.log("Failed to get TV device information");
            // To-Do something
            return;
        }
    }
});
 
// Subscription
var subscriptionHandle;
 
subscriptionHandle = webOS.service.request("luna://com.webos.service.tv.systemproperty", {
    method: "getSystemInfo",
    parameters: { 
        "keys": ["modelName", "firmwareVersion", "UHD", "sdkVersion"],
        "subscribe": true 
    },
    onComplete: function (inResponse) {
        var isSucceeded = inResponse.returnValue;
       
        if (typeof(inResponse.subscribed) != 'undefined') {
            if (!inResponse.subscribed) {
                console.log("Failed to subscribe TV device information");
                return;
            }
        }

        if (isSucceeded){
            console.log("Result: " + JSON.stringify(inResponse));
            // To-Do something
        } else {
            console.log("Failed to TV device information");
            // To-Do something
            return;
        }
    }
});
...
// If you need to unsubscribe the data, use cancel() method as below
subscriptionHandle.cancel();

Return Example

// Success return
{
    "returnValue" : true,
    "modelName" : "WEBOS1",
    "firmwareVersion" : "3.00.00",
    "UHD":"true",
    "sdkVersion":"1.05.00"
}

// Failure return
{
    "returnValue" : false,
    "errorCode" : "ERROR_06",
    "errorText" : "Invalid argument."
}


// Subscription example

// First response
{ "returnValue" : true, "modelName" : "WEBOS1", "firmwareVersion" : "3.00.00" }

// When modelName is changed to "WEBOS2"
{ "returnValue" : true, "modelName" : "WEBOS2" }
