Carrier Lynx 2-way Command API
Remote-control surface for Lynx-connected transport refrigeration units. Three operations: list the commands a given asset supports, send one or more commands, and check the status of a dispatched command by commandId. Commands include per-compartment setpoints in the range -30 to 35 °C, compartment toggles, defrost initiation, pre-trip initiation, alarm clearing, run mode, sleep mode, TRU power and Intelliset selection. This is physical actuation: Carrier publishes no idempotency key, no dry-run mode and no reversal operation for it.
