Get info from API

Welcome to the SmartThings Community, @Sdahl1234!

This is the information we have so far by analyzing Jacob’s case.

The team checked the profile assigned to the device (list of capabilities used), and they noticed the temperature and the other values are not available. They’re trying to investigate more about the root cause.

More details

To attempt to shed light on why some capabilities might show up in the ST app but not on the API side, the team shared these details:

  • The phone client (ST app) uses OCF’s COAP protocol, which allows the physical device to define its resources (such as the temperature values).
  • So, these values can be written there by the device and as a result, they can be displayed by the app.
  • The APIs do not work via OCF, but, the profile is the manifest of what values are available to be accessed from there.
