Harper, this is awesome. Hacking around on this today! Congrats on the acquisition, btw!

Nice!

Looks like the authentication token format has changed slightly; this worked for me:

authenticity_token = eo_sign.text.encode('utf-8').strip().split("type=\"hidden\" name=\"authenticity_token\" value=\"")[1].split("\" />")[0]

Also set_url requires a device_id param here.
