Under device.data there are numbers representing basicType, genericType & specificType. Where do i find what the descriptions are for these? I didn't see anything in the docs.

Are there any plans to add a "string" field to the api for this like the deviceTypeString?

Thanks in advance.

It looks like the deviceTypeString is a combination of the Generic type id & Specific type id in the /translations/DeviceClasses.xml file.

GenericType description = name under Generic ID.
deviceTypeString = description under the specificType of the Generic ID.

yes, deviceTypeString is a combination.
