Now we will add a REST Server interface, allowing you to control any device via the LAN using HTTP.
This will allow us to use other programming languages such as HTML5 / JS to control the devices.

Here's an example of how to use JQuery to control devices:
The REST connection has a simple http server for static pages, you can add the directories that will be available from this server.
