Smart Home OpenClose Trait Schema

action.devices.traits.OpenClose - This trait belongs to devices that support opening and closing, and in some cases opening and closing partially or potentially in more than one direction.

Device ATTRIBUTES

Devices with this trait may report the following attributes as part of the SYNC operation. To learn more about handling SYNC intents, see Intent fulfillment.

Attributes	Type	Description
`discreteOnlyOpenClose`	Boolean	(Default: `false`) When set to true, this indicates that the device must either be fully open or fully closed (that is, it does not support values between 0% and 100%).
`openDirection`	Array	List of supported directions in which the device can open or close. Include this attribute if the device supports opening and closing in more than one direction.
`[item, ...]`	String	Supported direction. Supported values: `UP` `DOWN` `LEFT` `RIGHT` `IN` `OUT`
`commandOnlyOpenClose`	Boolean	(Default: `false`) Indicates if the device supports using one-way (true) or two-way (false) communication. Set this attribute to true if the device cannot respond to a QUERY intent or Report State for this trait.
`queryOnlyOpenClose`	Boolean	(Default: `false`) Indicates if the device can only be queried for state information and cannot be controlled. Sensors that can only report open state should set this field to true.

Examples

Simple open-close device.

{
  "discreteOnlyOpenClose": true
}

Top-down bottom-up device. Can be opened in either direction.

{
  "openDirection": [
    "UP",
    "DOWN"
  ]

{
  "commandOnlyOpenClose": false
