Get an Unmanaged Device

• Request Parameters

• Response

• Examples

Returns a specified unmanaged device.

An unmanaged device has a limited set of visible properties and a subset of supported events. You cannot control an unmanaged device. Any access codes on an unmanaged device are unmanaged. To control an unmanaged device with Seam, convert it to a managed device.

You must specify either device_id or name.

JavaScript

Returns a specified unmanaged device, using an ID.

Code:

await seam.devices.unmanaged.get({
  device_id: "9f871e41-0ce4-4825-8d99-9653df4cd525",
});

Output:
