• The webpage lists Schema.org-defined query pattern types for Custom Device Actions, with each type name beginning with $SchemaOrg.

• These types align with standard types defined in Schema.org and some return structured data instead of a single value.

• Structured data is indicated in the table and requires adding .structured to the parameter name in the deviceExecution section to be received.

• Examples are provided for implementing and receiving structured data for types like Place, Date, Time, and DateTime.

The following table lists the Schema.org-defined query pattern types for Custom Device Actions. The name of each type starts with $SchemaOrg. These types correspond to the standard types defined in Schema.org.

Some of these types return structured data rather than a single value. These types are indicated in the table. See structured data for more information.

Supported Schema.org types

Structured data

Some types support structured data being passed back instead of a single value. In the deviceExecution section, add .structured to the parameter name to receive structured data back for these types:

"my-param-name": "$parameter-name.structured"

where my-param-name is the user-defined name that is passed back in the params and parameter-name identifies the parameter in the query pattern.

See the following example:
