    Terse answer.. I am typing on phone traveling..

     

    You woukd not use POST in the device group as you are working with an existing group, not creating one.

     

    I believe you want to use the PATCH verb on the full devicegroup / devices / device URL.

I'm doing the same in a shell script using PUT as http method. Maybe the snippet will help you:

lb=my_bigip_fqdn
dg=device_group_name

lb_commit() {
  local lb_name=$1
  local rest_object_path=$2
  local http_uri=/mgmt/tm"$rest_object_path"
  local http_method=$3
  local json_data=$4
  echo $(curl --insecure -1 -sk -u admin:$adminpw https://$lb_name$http_uri -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X $http_method -d "$json_data")
}

result=$(lb_commit $lb /cm/device-group/~Common~$dg/devices/$lb/ PUT "{\"set-sync-leader\":true}")
echo $result
