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.

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 val…
