Providers

Seam maintains a list of supported providers that you can access using the List Device Providers endpoint. For a provider, this endpoint returns a subset of the following information, depending on the capabilities of the provider’s devices:

Property	Type	Description
`device_provider_name`	String	Name of the device provider. For example: `august`
`display_name`	String	Formatted version of the `device_provider_name`. For example: `August`
`image_url`	String	Image URL for the provider logo.
`provider_categories`	Array	Array of associated categories for the provider. Supported categories: `stable` `consumer_smartlocks` `thermostats` `noise_sensors`
`can_remotely_unlock`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can perform a remote unlock operation. See Capability Flags.
`can_remotely_lock`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can perform a remote lock operation. See Capability Flags.
`can_program_online_access_codes`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can program online access codes. See Capability Flags.
`can_program_offline_access_codes`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can program offline access codes. See Capability Flags.
`can_simulate_connection`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can simulate device connection. See Capability Flags.
`can_simulate_disconnection`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can simulate device disconnection. See Capability Flags.
`can_simulate_removal`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can simulate device removal. See Capability Flags.
`can_hvac_cool`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can be set to cool mode. See Capability Flags.
`can_hvac_heat`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can be set to heat mode. See Capability Flags.
`can_hvac_heat_cool`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can be set to heat-cool mode. See Capability Flags.
`can_turn_off_hvac`	Boolean	Indicates whether at least one supported device from the provider can be set to off mode. See Capability Flags.

The following example shows a device_provider:

{
  "device_provider_name": "august",
  "display_name": "August",
  "image_url": "https://connect.getseam.com/_next/image?url=https://connect.getseam.com/assets/images/logos/august_logo_square.png&q=75&w=128",
  "provider_categories": ["stable", "consumer_smartlocks"],
  "can_remotely_lock": true,
  "can_remotely_unlock": true,
  "can_program_online_access_codes": true,
  "can_simulate_connection": true,
  "can_simulate_disconnection": true,
  "can_simulate_removal": true
}
