Standard Predefined Types

Creating a Device generally requires multiple calls. For example, creating a Lightbulb with name, power, and brightness would need:

esp_rmaker_device_t *device = esp_rmaker_device_create("Light", NULL, NULL);

esp_rmaker_device_add_param(device, esp_rmaker_param_create("name", NULL, esp_rmaker_str("Light"),
            PROP_FLAG_READ | PROP_FLAG_WRITE | PROP_FLAG_PERSIST));

esp_rmaker_param_t *power_param = esp_rmaker_param_create("power", NULL, esp_rmaker_bool(true), PROP_FLAG_READ | PROP_FLAG_WRITE);
esp_rmaker_param_add_ui_type(power_param, ESP_RMAKER_UI_TOGGLE);
esp_rmaker_device_add_param(device, power_param);
esp_rmaker_device_assign_primary_param(device, power_param);

esp_rmaker_param_t *brightness_param = esp_rmaker_param_create("brightness", NULL, esp_rmaker_int(100), PROP_FLAG_READ | PROP_FLAG_WRITE);
esp_rmaker_param_add_ui_type(brightness_param, ESP_RMAKER_UI_SLIDER);
esp_rmaker_param_add_bounds(brightness_param, esp_rmaker_int(0), esp_rmaker_int(100), esp_rmaker_int(1));
esp_rmaker_device_add_param(device, brightness_param);

This flexibility is useful as it lets you define any type of device. However, to simplify some common use cases, we have defined some standard types and have added helper APIs for them. Using standard types, the above code will get reduced to this:

light_device = esp_rmaker_lightbulb_device_create("Light", NULL, true);
esp_rmaker_device_add_cb(light_device, write_cb, NULL);

esp_rmaker_device_add_param(light_device, esp_rmaker_brightness_param_create("brightness", 100));

These standard types are also useful for defining some special handling in phone apps or other third party applications like Alexa or Google Voice Assistants. Below is a list of standard devices, services, parameters, and UI elements. This list will keep updating as we add new types.

Devices
