Do SmartThings Schema Interaction Types have updating and deleting device function?

Hi!

@exosite

Based on the SmartThings Schema Interaction Types, may I ask if there is any method to implement deleting device

To delete the device, you need to send the corresponding global error in a stateCallback. Here’s a post where I shared more information about the deletion process:

Unlink smartthings from my app

Hi, there! The “Integration Deleted” interaction is called from the SmartThings side when: We select the device created by our ST Schema Connector and delete it. In the ST app, we go to Menu > Settings > Linked Services and delete the integration. The third-party cloud can also call it by sending a stateCallback to the Schema connector (see the configuration sample for the stateCallback here): The URL will depend on the endpoint you configured in your Connector’s server to receive the request from the Third-Party, in the example, the endpoint to receive the “stateCallback” and update the device state is /command The difference with a common stateCallback is that to trigger the “integrationDeleted” interaction, you need to send a globalError so, the payload from the stateCallback wou…

and updating device(friendlyName) through SmartThings Schema Interaction Types?

This cannot be done, the friendlyName parameter is only considered when the device is discovered for the first time. Please, take a look at this post:

DiscoveryCallback can't take effect twice in a row

I see…I’ve verified this with our engineering team and they mention this was disabled not so long ago, and it was because there’s no way to notify you if the user sets a new FriendlyName value. If a non-updated “discoveryCallback” comes in, that value would replace the user’s preferences. If the user decides the device to have the same name on both applications, he/she must change it on both sides.
