But with many devices attached it would probably be nice to give an array for each value eg.
"Temp": [ 65,54,65,78 ],
You can reply with a string or a number, but you can of course make your string look like an array of numbers But with many devices attached it would probably be nice to give an array for each value eg.
"Temp": [ 65,54,65,78 ],

I noticed that using,
echo -n "{\"command\":\"stats\"}" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028
appends a trailing \0 to output. Is that expected/desired?
It breaks piping to a JSON parser. I use this,
echo -n "{\"command\":\"stats\"}" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 |tr -d "\000" | jsgrep
to strip the \0 and it prints pretty with jsgrep.
The \0 is there on purpose.echo -n "{\"command\":\"stats\"}" | nc 127.0.0.1 4028

You can of course
java API stats
which is also pretty
Also reasonably pretty (but messes up if the data has a comma)
echo -n stats | nc 127.0.0.1 4028 | tr "|," "\n"
If you check the php and java I use the '\0' to identify the completion of data transfer.
It's a character that cannot be used anywhere else so it works well.
(a good example of complete failure in this regard is the BFL SC MCU where it uses a to terminate USB transfers ... except ... sometimes it's OK and sometimes it can be ... either ... with x-link which is a PITA
