Wow, you’re on fire, @orangebucket! 
- The device presentation (identified by the VID) is the collection of all the presentations of the capabilities included in your device.
- A capability presentation defines how the value is shown (slider, simple text, list, etc.).
- The stock capabilities have this already configured, so, you just need to define in which view (of the device) you want to show the capabilities.
When you use the DTH ID to generate the device-config, it takes the capabilities’ list in your DTH’s definition, that’s why the last changes you made (add WindowShade) must be saved and published.
The device-config file is used to generate the device presentation. For you to have a better reference on the views, here’s a short description:
-
Dashboard - It is the main view, the one you see when you open the mobile app.
a. States - this is where you show a capability value, eg. Temperature.
b. Actions - here is where you include a capability that provides an action, eg. a Switch button.
Note: Only one capability can be included in each section, a and b. -
Detail - This is the view shown when you enter the device. As graham said, you can order differently the capabilities using the device-config. Some are fixed to the top, though, like the
Switchcapability.
Here, all the capabilities that belong to your DTH should be included. -
Automations - This is for the
Automationstool in the app. Not all capabilities have this section configured, so if you add all here as well, only those that use this section will appear.
