  The Smart Device Management (SDM) API is a REST API that allows developers to
  manage Google Nest devices including thermostats, cameras, doorbells, and
  displays. It provides access to device traits and commands using a trait-based
  model, enabling applications to read device state, execute commands to control
  devices, and manage structures and rooms within a home.
