Where it fits on a display

The device takes the question, your server asks WebKnox with the device's place and time, and the screen renders the card.

  1. Someone asksby voice or with a tap
  2. Your serveradds the device's location and time zone
  3. matched: truethe screen shows the card in the kiosk theme
  4. matched: falseshow your own content, or nothing
<!-- On the display: one element, a theme made for distance -->
<webknox-answer theme="kiosk"></webknox-answer>

// Your device's server asks with its place and time
body: JSON.stringify({
  messages,
  context: { timezone: 'Europe/Berlin', location: { lat: 51.05, lon: 13.74 } },
})

Good to know for displays

Send the context

With context, “here” and “tomorrow” mean the device's place and day.
