User device (device)

Last updated on April 13, 2025

The structure describes specifications and functions of the model of a device, such as a lamp or a socket.

The structure is used:

When the vendor sends information about the user's devices to the Sber Smart Home:
- when the webhook responds to a request Request for all the user's devices and their functions (get devices);
- when sending a request Add user's devices (post devices);
- when sending a request Update user's devices (put devices).
When the Sber Smart Home sends a response to the vendor's request Get the user’s device list (get devices).

Field	Type	Mandatory?	Description
id	string	✔︎	Device ID in the vendor's system
parent_id	string		ID of parent device (e.g. hub)
name	string	✔︎	Device name given by the user
default_name	string	✔︎	Device name from the manufacturer
nicknames	list<string>		Alternative device names
home	string		Name of the room group in which the device is located
room	string		Name of the room in which the device is located
groups	list<string>		Names of the groups the device belongs to. A group can only include devices of the same type
model_id	string	✔︎^*	Device model ID (^*only specified if model is not specified)
model	<object>	✔︎^*	Device model description (^*only specified if model_id is not specified). For the structure of the model description, see Device model (model)
hw_version	string		Equipment version
sw_version	string		Firmware version
partner_meta	<object>		Arbitrary information about the device. Contains an unlimited number of key–value pairs, where the key is always of type `string`, and the value can take any data type (including another object, nesting is not limited). The maximum allowed number of characters in the JSON representation of the `partner_meta` object is 1024. The vendor can send any necessary information to `partner_meta`, the Sber Smart Home will store it and return it in response to requests to get a list of devices

User's device description example

The example describes a smart lamp. There is no lamp model description as we believe that models are described independently and the model ID will be enough (in this case, QWERTY124).

    "id": "ABCD_003",
    "name": "My lamp",
    "default_name": "Smart lamp",
    "nicknames": [
        "LED lamp",
        "Smart lamp"
