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

Parameters in Bold are mandatory.
* indicates primary parameter.

C APIs to implement some of these can be found here. Others can be built using the raw APIs. They have been included here just to indicate that they have special handling in clients like the Alexa/GVA.
