Device_SubType

Purpose

The Device_API should be set appropriately if the device is a part of an API, set to Plug_In if it is not a part of an API but is owned by a Plug-In, or set to No_API if it is not owned by a plug-in and is not a part of an API. If the Device_API is set to an API type such as Thermostat or Music, then the Device_Type should be set to one of the API types for those APIs. (See DeviceTypeInfo Enums) and this property can be used to denote the device type further.

Parameters

The Device_SubType property is an integer denoting the device sub-type, if any, that this device is a part of:

Public Property Device_SubType As Integer

Returns

Example

Sample Code

VB

	(This sets the device to the Thermostat API type "Setpoint" for Cooling)
	Dim DT As New DeviceAPI.DeviceTypeInfo
	DT.Device_API = DeviceAPI.DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceAPI.Thermostat
	DT.Device_Type = DeviceAPI.DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceType_Thermostat.Setpoint
	DT.Device_SubType = DeviceAPI.DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceSubType_Setpoint.Cooling_1
	DT.Device_SubType_Description = "Cool Setpoint"
	dv.DeviceType_Set(hs) = DT
	hs.SaveEventsDevices

	(This sets the device to a plug-in custom type.)
	Dim DT As New DeviceAPI.DeviceTypeInfo
	DT.Device_API = DeviceAPI.DeviceTypeInfo.eDeviceAPI.Plug_In
	DT.Device_Type = CInt(PlugDeviceType_X)
	DT.Device_SubType = 4
	dv.DeviceType_Set(hs) = DT
	hs.SaveEventsDevices

When the API is Thermostat, and the Device_Type is Setpoint or Temperature, it is required that the Device_SubType be set to indicate which setpoint or which temperature the device is representing, as found in the enum eDeviceSubType_Setpoint or eDeviceSubType_Temperature
