  title: Google Nest Smart Device Management Devices API
  description: The Smart Device Management (SDM) API is a REST API that allows developers to manage Google Nest devices. It provides access to device traits and commands for thermostats, cameras, doorbells, and displays. The API uses a trait-based model where each device exposes traits that describe its capabilities and current state, and accepts commands to change device settings.
