Create a system of templates for IoT devices.

When we are using a template we can configure a device with a simple URL configuration. The device will contact odoo and send the template name. Odoo will create the device and respond with all the expected data.

AI-generated from the code · Odoo 18.0

Create reusable IoT device templates so a new device can be set up automatically by simply calling a URL. Templates define the device's inputs, outputs, keys, tags, group and icon.

This module adds a Templates area under the IoT configuration menu. A template (iot.template) is a reusable blueprint for a device. On a template you can set a group, an icon, tags and an image, and you can organise templates in a parent/child hierarchy.

Each template contains: - Keys: named values that are generated automatically (for example a serial number) and can be reused in the configuration. - Inputs: named inputs that point to a model and a function, with optional parameters. When the template is applied, a real device input is created with a generated serial and passphrase. - Outputs: named outputs linked to a communication system, with optional parameters.

A manager can use the 'Add a new Device' menu to open a small wizard that shows a configuration URL to copy. The device calls that URL, sends its serial and the template name, and Odoo creates the device, applies the template (group, tags, image, icon, inputs and outputs) and returns the full configuration (host, name, inputs and outputs) as JSON. Parent templates are applied as well, so common settings can be shared.

Access is controlled: regular IoT users can only read templates, while IoT managers can create, edit and delete them. The module extends the existing iot.device, iot.device.input and iot.device.output models.
