Would this be the correct curl command to send an open command?
$curl -X POST [https://api.particle.io/v1/devices/](https://api.particle.io/v1/devices/)_XXXXXXXX_/setState -Hcontent-type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded -d access\_token=YYYYYYYY&arg=open
where XXXXXXX is deviceid and YYYYYYYY is the token.

Yes, but it also works without content-type header:
```
curl https://api.particle.io/v1/devices/XXX-DEVICEID-XXX/setState -d arg="open" -d access_token=YYY-ACCESS-TOKEN-YYY
```
Please find more details and examples in [Particle Cloud API](https://docs.particle.io/reference/api/#call-a-function). The list of supported functions, variables and events can be found in [Garadget’s Firmware at GitHub](https://github.com/Garadget/firmware).
I look forward to seeing more info about your project when finished.
