Device Management

Last Updated on : 2023-05-25 06:23:45

The SDK supports operations to manage devices after they are paired. For example, listen for changes in device status, rename devices, update device firmware, remove devices, and restore default settings.

Functional description

The following table lists the classes for device management.

Class name Description

ThingSmartDevice The device management class.

ThingSmartDeviceModel The device data model class.

Class name	Description
ThingSmartDevice	The device management class.
ThingSmartDeviceModel	The device data model class.

The following table describes the data model specified by ThingSmartDeviceModel.

Property	Type	Description
devId	NSString	The unique ID of a device.
name	NSString	The name of a device.
iconUrl	NSString	The URL of a device icon.
isOnline	Boolean	Indicates whether a device is online. The device is online when it is connected to a Wi-Fi network, a local area network (LAN), or a Bluetooth network.
isCloudOnline	Boolean	Indicates whether a device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
isLocalOnline	Boolean	Indicates whether a device is connected to a LAN.
isShare	Boolean	Indicates whether a device is a shared device.

accessType	NSInteger	The method that is used to connect devices: `0`: Tuya’s DP `1`: Matter `2`: TuyaLink
thingModel	ThingSmartThingModel	The things data model of the device. This parameter is required when `accessType` is set to `2`. You can call `- getThingModelWithSuccess:failure:` or `+ getThingModelWithProductId:productVersion:success:failure:` to get the things data model.

Initialize a device

Initializes the device control class by device ID.

You must use ThingSmartHome to initialize a home instance and call getHomeDetailWithSuccess:failure: to get home details. The device is initialized only after home details are synchronized.
An incorrect device ID might cause failed initialization. In this case, the device instance returns nil.

API description

/**
* Get ThingSmartDevice instance. If current user don't have this device, a nil will be return.
* Returns the device instance. If the current user does not have the device, `nil` is returned. *
*
* @param devId Device ID
* @return instance
*/
+ (nullable instancetype)deviceWithDeviceId:(NSString *)devId;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
devId	The device ID.

Example

ThingSmartDevice *device = [ThingSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:devId];
device.delegate = self;

Listen for a device delegate

After you implement the delegate protocol ThingSmartDeviceDelegate, you can process the callback of changes in device status and refresh the UI of the control panel on your app.

Example

Objective-C:

- (void)initDevice {
    self.device = [ThingSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:@"your_device_id"];
    self.device.delegate = self;
}

#pragma mark - ThingSmartDeviceDelegate

- (void)device:(ThingSmartDevice *)device dpsUpdate:(NSDictionary *)dps {
    // The UI is refreshed when device DPs are changed.
}

- (void)deviceInfoUpdate:(ThingSmartDevice *)device {
    // The current device data such as the device name and online or offline status is updated.
}

- (void)deviceRemoved:(ThingSmartDevice *)device {
    // The current device is removed.
}

- (void)device:(ThingSmartDevice *)device signal:(NSString *)signal {
    // The Wi-Fi signal strength.
}

- (void)device:(ThingSmartDevice *)device otaUpdateStatusChanged:(ThingSmartFirmwareUpgradeStatusModel *)statusModel {
    // The callback for the status and progress of the firmware update.
    // Recommended for use with `-startFirmwareUpgrade:`
}

- (void)device:(ThingSmartDevice *)device firmwareUpgradeProgress:(NSInteger)type progress:(double)progress {
    // The progress of the firmware update.
    // Will be deprecated and recommended for use with `-upgradeFirmware:success:failure:`.
}

- (void)device:(ThingSmartDevice *)device firmwareUpgradeStatusModel:(ThingSmartFirmwareUpgradeStatusModel *)upgradeStatusModel {
    // The callback for the device update status.
    // Will be deprecated and recommended for use with `-upgradeFirmware:success:failure:`.
}

Swift:

func initDevice() {
    device = ThingSmartDevice(deviceId: "your_device_id")
    device?.delegate = self
}

// MARK: - ThingSmartDeviceDelegate

func device(_ device: ThingSmartDevice?, dpsUpdate dps: [AnyHashable : Any]?) {
    // The UI is refreshed when device DPs are changed.
}

func deviceInfoUpdate(_ device: ThingSmartDevice?) {
    // The current device data such as the device name and online or offline status is updated.
}

func deviceRemoved(_ device: ThingSmartDevice?) {
    // The current device is removed.
}

func device(_ device: ThingSmartDevice?, signal: String?) {
    // The Wi-Fi signal strength.
}

func device(_ device: ThingSmartDevice?, otaUpdateStatusChanged statusModel: ThingSmartFirmwareUpgradeStatusModel) {
    // The callback for the status and progress of the firmware update. Generic firmware update and PID-specific firmware update are supported. Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and Bluetooth mesh sub-devices can be updated in this way.
    // Recommended for use with `-startFirmwareUpgrade:`
    // For more information about OTA updates, see the documentation on firmware update.
}

func device(_ device: ThingSmartDevice?, firmwareUpgradeProgress type: Int, progress: Double) {
    // The progress of the generic firmware update. Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth mesh sub-devices are not involved.
    // Will be deprecated and recommended for use with `-upgradeFirmware:success:failure:`.
}

func device(_ device: ThingSmartDevice?, firmwareUpgradeStatusModel upgradeStatusModel: ThingSmartFirmwareUpgradeStatusModel?) {
    // The status of the generic firmware update. Bluetooth LE and Bluetooth mesh sub-devices are not involved.
    // Will be deprecated and recommended for use with `-upgradeFirmware:success:failure:`.
}

Query device information

Queries the data of a single DP.

This API method does not apply to synchronous requests. The response is returned by the callback of the delegate - (void)device:(ThingSmartDevice *)device dpsUpdate:(NSDictionary *)dps.
This API method applies to DPs that do not initiate data transmission. For example, query countdown information. For regular DP queries, we recommend that you call ThingSmartDeviceModel.dps.

Example

Objective-C:

- (void)queryDP {
    // self.device = [ThingSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:@"your_device_id"];
    // Query the data of DP `1`.
    [self.device publishDps:@{@"1":[NSNull null]} mode:ThingDevicePublishModeAuto success:^{
        NSLog(@"query dp success");
    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"query dp failure: %@", error);
    }];
}

Swift:

func queryDP() {
    // self.device = [ThingSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:@"your_device_id"];
    // Query the data of DP `1`.
    device.publishDps([
        "1": [NSNull null]
    ], mode: ThingDevicePublishModeAuto, success: {
        print("query dp success")
    }, failure: { error in
        if let error = error {
            print("query dp failure: \(error)")
        }
    })
}

Rename a device

API description

- (void)updateName:(NSString *)name success:(nullable ThingSuccessHandler)success failure:(nullable ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
name	The device name.
success	The success callback.
failure	The failure callback.

Example

Objective-C:

    // self.device = [ThingSmartDevice deviceWithDeviceId:@"your_device_id"];

    [self.device updateName:name success:^{
        NSLog(@"updateName success");
    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"updateName failure: %@", error);
    }];
}

Swift:

func modifyDeviceName(_ name: String) {
    device?.updateName(name, success: {
        print("updateName success")
    }, failure: { (error) in
        if let e = error {
            print("updateName failure: \(e)")
        }
    })
}

Remove a device

After a device is removed, it enters the state ready for pairing. By default, the device enters the Wi-Fi Easy Connect (EZ) mode.

API description

- (void)remove:(nullable ThingSuccessHandler)success failure:(nullable ThingFailureError)failure;

Parameters

Parameter	Description
success	The success callback.
failure	The failure callback.

Example

    } failure:^(NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"remove failure: %@", error);
    }];
}

Swift:

func removeDevice() {
    device?.remove({
        print("remove success")
    }, failure: { (error) in
        if let e = error {
            print("remove failure: \(e)")
        }
    })
}

Restore to factory defaults

After default settings are restored for a device, it enters the state ready for pairing. By default, the Wi-Fi device enters the Wi-Fi EZ mode. In this case, device data is cleared.
