setWaypoints command logging a JsonParseException in HTTP mode about android HOT 5 CLOSED

Can't test just now, but please note _type: waypoints expects an array of waypoints, so I think your JSON should look like

{
  "_type": "cmd",
  "action": "setWaypoints",
  "waypoints": {
    "_type": "waypoints",
    "waypoints": [
      {
        "desc": "Test",
        "rad": 500,
        "lon": 12.345,
        "lat": 56.789,
        "tst": 1698635212,
        "_type": "waypoint"
      }
    ]
  }
}

As to your comment regarding the key, I note we've not documented this for Android. Your quote is specifically labelled as on iOS. I only very vaguely recall we did change this at some point in order to be able to rename a waypoint.

@ckrey and @growse: I please need your input here do possibly amend the docs: what is the key for a waypoint in the setWaypoints command?

On Android there's a primary key which isn't surfaced to the API, and tst is a uniquely-constrained value which effectively acts like a key.

Found root cause of this one. Classic "issue between keyboard and chair". When you send an array of waypoints to the app, the app echo's back each one that it processed.

The "exception" was me not returning an empty JSON array of [] so that was showing up as invalid in the JSON parser.

I've tried it framed as any array, and same deal. Just to double check, I copied the waypoint block from a publish waypoints as well as the a configuration export, and same error. Processes the JSON fine, loads/modifies the waypoints as expected, just logs the parse exception.

On Android, TST seems to be the key, which is working great. I was wanting to be able to automates a single edit location, and then push those to the other "friends" which is working -- just the parser error.
