Smart Home TemperatureSetting Trait Schema

action.devices.traits.TemperatureSetting - This trait covers handling both temperature point and modes.

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
availableThermostatModes		Required. Describes the thermostat modes this device can support.
Supports one of the following:
0	String	Deprecated Comma-separated list of modes supported by this specific device. New integrations should use the Array form of this attribute.
1	Array	List of modes supported by this specific device.
[item, ...]	String	Name of the supported mode. Supported values: off Heating/Cooling activity disabled heat Device supports heating cool Device supports cooling on Restore the previous mode of the device heatcool Maintaining heating/cooling target as a range auto Automatic mode with temperature set by a schedule or learned behavior fan-only Fan running without heat/cool activity purifier Purifying mode eco Energy-saving mode dry Dry mode
thermostatTemperatureRange	Object	Contains two float values that indicate the supported temperature range for this device (in degrees Celsius).
minThresholdCelsius	Number	Required. Minimum threshold of the temperature range.
maxThresholdCelsius	Number	Required. Maximum threshold of the temperature range.
thermostatTemperatureUnit	String	Required. The display unit the device is set to by default. Google reports temperature information using the display unit. Supported values: C F
bufferRangeCelsius	Number	(Default: 2) Specifies the minimum offset between heat-cool setpoints in degrees Celsius, if heatcool mode is supported.
commandOnlyTemperatureSetting	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.
queryOnlyTemperatureSetting	Boolean	(Default: false) Required if the device supports query-only execution. This attribute indicates if the device can only be queried for state information, and cannot be controlled.

Device STATES

Note 1: States are only relevant if the attribute commandOnlyTemperatureSetting is set to false.

Note 2: Temperatures can be set in Fahrenheit by the user, but all temperature values in commands and states are in Celsius.

The payload contains one of the following:

States for fixed set point.

Supported values: none No active mode off Heating/Cooling activity disabled heat Device supports heating cool Device supports cooling on Restore the previous mode of the device heatcool Maintaining heating/cooling target as a range auto Automatic mode with temperature set by a schedule or learned behavior fan-only Fan running without heat/cool activity purifier Purifying mode eco Energy-saving mode dry Dry mode
thermostatTemperatureAmbient	Number	Required. Current observed temperature, in degrees Celsius.
thermostatTemperatureSetpointHigh	Number	Required. Current high point if in heatcool mode, for a range.
thermostatTemperatureSetpointLow	Number	Required. Current low point if in heatcool mode, for a range.

Examples

What is the current device temperature?

{
  "activeThermostatMode": "cool",
  "thermostatMode": "cool",
  "thermostatTemperatureSetpoint": 23,
  "thermostatTemperatureAmbient": 25.1
}

What is the current device temperature?

{
  "activeThermostatMode": "none",
  "thermostatMode": "heatcool",
  "thermostatTemperatureSetpointHigh": 26,
  "thermostatTemperatureSetpointLow": 22,
  "thermostatTemperatureAmbient": 25.1
}

Device COMMANDS

Note: Temperatures can be set in Fahrenheit by the user, but all temperature values in commands and states are in Celsius. Any required unit conversion is performed automatically.

Note: This trait supports providing additional state with a two-factor authentication challenge response. See supported challenge types for more details.
