Expose the Pager feature in the API

I'd like to be able to enter a parent code on a tablet from the nursery and page the parents without having to leave the room to go to the sound booth, or figure out who to text, or worry about using radios. It would be great if I could just page them from the classroom from a simple web/mobile app I've created. Exposing the pager feature in the Proclaim API would be very beneficial.

It would require just a couple of endpoints:

  • "showPager" with a "message" parameter - shows the message on the screen.
  • "clearPager" with no parameters - clears the pager message from the screen.

    I like this idea. Perhaps one could combine it with the Companion "Generic Data Entry" module to do it all from a Stream Deck.

    I'd also add the ability to query the current pager message. Generally, there are quite a number of places where Proclaim's API could usefully be fleshed out a bit, particularly around getting current status info back out of Proclaim.
