Is there a way to read a digital input state on an XBee S6B using legacy RCI? How about SCI encapsulated RCI?

If this needs to be forced or scheduled, can I do this using RCI?

I could not find a working SCI/RCI syntax for this.

The easiest way I know of to gather a pin state, is to do a HTTP GET. For example:

/ws/DataStream/00000000-00000000-00409DFF-FFXXXXXX/DIO/#

I think I found the syntax for this:

So the syntax works, but I only get back the indication that P0 is set as an input. This is the reply I get:
Input

Do you have an example of how to do this using javascript or similar? Thanks!

Unfortunately, this only seems to show the setting and not the state. I am not able to find a means to query the state via SCI/RCI.
