Device Model and Instance Schemas

Device model

The device model is defined by the fields in this section.

Device model fields can only contain letters, numbers, and the following symbols: period (.), hyphen (-), underscore (_), space ( ) and plus (+). The first character of a field must be a letter or number.

• project_id :(String) Required. Google Cloud Platform project ID of the Actions Console project to associate with this device model. A project can contain multiple device models.
• device_model_id :(String) Required. Globally-unique identifier for this device model; use the project_id as a prefix to help avoid collisions over the range of all projects. Used in metrics and during device registration.
• manifest :(object(Manifest)) Required. Metadata that describes the device model and manufacturer. This may be shown in the (upcoming) SDK console, metrics dashboards, and other related visual interfaces.
  • manifest.manufacturer :(String) Required. Name of the device manufacturer.
  • manifest.product_name :(String) Required. Consumer-facing product name for this device model.
  • manifest.device_description :(String) Optional. Description of this device model.
• device_type :(String) Required. The type of device hardware. Select from the following:
  • action.devices.types.CAMERA
  • action.devices.types.DISHWASHER
  • action.devices.types.DRYER
  • action.devices.types.LIGHT
  • action.devices.types.OUTLET
  • action.devices.types.PHONE
  • action.devices.types.REFRIGERATOR
  • action.devices.types.SCENE
  • action.devices.types.SOUNDBAR
  • action.devices.types.SPEAKER
  • action.devices.types.SWITCH
  • action.devices.types.THERMOSTAT
  • action.devices.types.TV
  • action.devices.types.VACUUM
  • action.devices.types.WASHER
• traits :(Array<String>) Optional. List of traits the device supports. Traits include the commands, attributes, and states for the device. You do not need to define an Action package to use built-in traits .

Device instance

The device instance is defined by the fields in this section.

Device instance fields must start with a letter or number. The device ID can only contain letters, numbers, and the following symbols: period (.), hyphen (-), underscore (_), and plus (+). The device nickname can only contain numbers, letters, and the space ( ) symbol.
