Smart Home Smoke Detector Guide

action.devices.types.SMOKE_DETECTOR - Smoke detectors can report whether smoke is currently detected, whether the smoke level is high, and the current smoke level in parts per million.

This type indicates that the device gets the Smoke Detector 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 for more info.

Quality requirements

  • Latency: must be less than or equal to 1000ms.
  • Reliability: must be more than or equal to 97%.

Example device: Simple smoke detector

This section contains example intent payloads representing a common "Smoke Detector" 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.
