# Smart Home Set-top Box Guide

`action.devices.types.SETTOP` - Interactions with Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) and set-top-box devices may include controlling media playback.

This type indicates that the device gets the Set-top Box icon and some related
synonyms and aliases.

## Device capabilities

Refer to the corresponding trait documentation for
implementation details, such as attributes and states that your service should support, and how to
build EXECUTE and QUERY responses.

### Required traits

These traits and commands are required, if applicable to your
device. If your device does not support these traits, enter the error code of
`functionNotSupported` in a QUERY or EXECUTE response. See
[Errors and exceptions](https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/intents/errors-exceptions) for more info.

| Trait | Commands |
|---|---|
| `https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/appselector` | - `action.devices.commands.appSelect` |
| `https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/inputselector` | - `action.devices.commands.setInput` |
| `https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/mediastate` | - N/A |
| `https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/onoff` | - `action.devices.commands.OnOff` |
| `https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/transportcontrol` | - `action.devices.commands.mediaClosedCaptioningOff` - `action.devices.commands.mediaClosedCaptioningOn` - `action.devices.commands.mediaNext` - `action.devices.commands.mediaPause` - `action.devices.commands.mediaPrevious` - `action.devices.commands.mediaResume` - `action.devices.commands.mediaStop` |
| `https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/traits/volume` | - `action.devices.commands.mute` - `action.devices.commands.setVolume` |

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** Your service must send Google the `activityState` and `playbackState` status for the media device via [Report State](https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/integration/report-state).

### Recommended traits

These traits are recommended, if applicable to your device.
However, you are free to mix and match from all available traits to best match your existing
product functionality.

## Example device: Simple set-top box

This section contains example intent payloads representing a common "Set-top Box"
based on the device type and traits above. If you add or remove traits in your implementation,
modify your responses accordingly to reflect those changes.
