Method: devices.reportStateAndNotification

Reports device state and optionally sends device notifications. Called by your smart home Action when the state of a third-party device changes or you need to send a notification about the device. See Implement Report State for more information.

This method updates the device state according to its declared traits. Publishing a new state value outside of these traits will result in an INVALID_ARGUMENT error response.

The third-party user's identity is passed in via the agentUserId (see ReportStateAndNotificationRequest). This request must be authorized using service account credentials from your Actions console project.
