Yodeck

Prerequisites

To connect Yodeck you need:

• A Yodeck account on a Premium or Enterprise plan — the Yodeck API is only available on those plans.
• A Yodeck API token with at least the Content & Device Manager role. The Content Viewer role is not enough: it can't read your screens.
• The token's name and value — you enter both in Xyte (see Setup).

What Xyte collects

Each Yodeck screen is imported as a Xyte device, named after the screen in Yodeck.

Not every player type reports every data point. For example, web players don't report content information.

Device status

• Online / Offline — as reported by Yodeck for the screen.
• Unavailable — the screen exists in Yodeck but isn't registered to a player yet.

Device information

• Screen ID and UUID
• Player type and hardware version
• Player software version (shown as the device firmware)
• Workspace
• Last known IP address
• Created and last-modified dates

Telemetry

• Screen: last seen, update in progress
• Content: default content name, schedule name
• Player: uptime, storage, hostname, HDMI connected, TV status, CPU temperature, CPU load, RAM (total, available, used), Wi-Fi signal, lockdown, encryption, time of the last status update

Remote commands

No remote commands are available for Yodeck screens yet.

Connect Yodeck to sync your Yodeck screens into your Xyte tenant and monitor them alongside every other device.

Get your API token

Step 1 — Open API Tokens in Yodeck

Sign in to Yodeck and go to Account Settings → Advanced Settings → API Tokens.

Step 2 — Generate a token with the right role

Click Generate Token, give the token a name, and assign it the Content & Device Manager role (or higher).

Step 3 — Copy both values

Note the token name you entered and copy the token value.

🚧

Yodeck shows the token value only once. Copy it right away and store it somewhere safe.

For more detail, see Yodeck's guide: How to generate an API token.

Add the connector in Xyte

1. In Xyte, open Connections → Cloud Connectors, click Add connector, and pick Yodeck.

   

2. Choose the Customer the screens should be imported into, and pick how device names are managed:

   • Manual — you can rename devices in Xyte. Names don't sync with Yodeck, so they may drift apart.
   • Yodeck managed — device names are synced from Yodeck, and renaming in Xyte is disabled.

   Then click Add connector.

   

3. On the API Configuration step, enter:

   • Token Name — the name you gave the token in Yodeck.
   • API Token — the token value you copied.

   

   Click Continue. Xyte checks the token against your Yodeck account, then imports your screens and keeps their status up to date.

Check the connection

Once the token is accepted, the connector shows as Active in Connections → Cloud Connectors. Open it to see when it last synced and how many screens it found. You can also switch the device-name setting here.

Click the Active devices count to list the imported screens. They're placed under the customer's Yodeck space, in Unsorted, until you move them.

Each device shows the Yodeck player type as its Model (for example, Web Player) and the screen's UUID as its Serial number. The State tab shows the latest telemetry from the player.

Additional information

Connector root space name: Yodeck

If the connector can't reach Yodeck, it goes into an error state and its devices are disabled. The error message is shown on the connector and sent to your organization's Admin contact by email.

A screen shows as Unavailable — the screen exists in Yodeck but isn't registered to a player. Register (pair) the screen in Yodeck; it reports status on the next sync.
