        - `subscribe?type=simulator&name=iPhone%207%20100&info=Test&apiLevel=11.0&platform=ios`
        - `unsubscribe?token=93B75F3B-0D2A-4873-8BCB-9F78B104BDB5`
        - `?query`- returns devices.
        - `boot?query`- starts devices.
        - `update?query`
        - `refresh?query`

Basically works with query of type IDevice exposed in mobile-devices-controller 

    export interface IDevice {
        name: string,
        token: string,
        type: DeviceType,
        platform: Platform,
        status?: Status,
        startedAt?: number,
        busySince?: number,
        pid?: number,
