A Device Type in Ubidots can store parameters that can be applied to a new Device upon creation.

Property	Type	Description
url	String	Url of Device Type
id	String	Id of Device Type
name	String	Name of Device Type
label	String	Label of Device Type
description	String	Description of Device Type
deviceColor	String	HTML Color of Device Type
deviceIcon	String	Device Type Icon
variableColor	String	HTML Color of Variables
syntheticVariableColor	String	HTML Color of Synthetic Variables
variables	Array of Objects	List of Variable Ids that belong to the Device Type
properties	Array of Objects	Array of Device properties
tags	Array	Array of tags of Device Type
tasks	Array of Objects	Array of Tasks of Device Type
createdAt	String	Date Device Type was created

Variables Object

The variables object follows this structure

{
	"label": "", // Variable label
  "properties": {
    "_icon": "tasks", // Variable icon
    "_color": "#fabf5f", // Variable HTML Color
    "_offset": null, // Variable offset
    "_scale": null, // Variable scale
    "isLocationVariable": false, // True if variables is selected as location variable for the device
    "hidden": false, // True if variables is hidden
    "minimum_value": null, // Minimum value of the variable
    "maximum_value": null // Maximum value of the variable
  },
  "type": 0, // Options: [0 (Raw variable), 1 (Synthetic variable)]
  "name": "", // Variable name
  "description": "", // Variable description
  "tags": null, // Variable tags
  "derived_expr": "", // Variable expression. Only visible on synthetic variables
  "unit": "" // Variable unit
}

Each key represents the following:

Property	Type	Description
label	String	Label of Variable
properties	List	List of Variable properties, supported for: `_icon`: Variable icon `_color`: Variable HTML Color `_offset`: Variable offset `_scale`: Variable scale `isLocationVariable`: True if variables is selected as location variable for the device `hidden`: True if variables is hidden `minimum_value`: Minimum value of the variable `maximum_value`: Maximum value of the variable
type	Integer	Options: [0 (Raw variable), 1 (Synthetic variable)]
name	String	Variable name
description	String	Variable description
tags	Array	Array of Variable tags
derived_expr	String	Variable expression. Only visible on synthetic variables
unit	String	Variable unit

Tasks Object

The tasks object follow this structure:

{
	"id": "", // Task id
  "type": "Type of task", // Options: [event, device-group, dashboard] 
  "name": "{{device.name}}"
}

Each key represents the following

Property	Type	Description
id	String	Id of Task
type	String	Type of task. Options: [event, device-group, dashboard]
name	String	Name of the Task created
