📄️ Device Basics
Devices are physical products that connect to and operate with the SmartThings platform.
📄️ Device Profiles
A Device Profile defines a Device and its features on the SmartThings platform. It contains the Components (which contain Device Capabilities) and metadata (ID, name, ownership, and more) of a Device, defining how a Device on the SmartThings platform behaves. Before joining your Device to the SmartThings platform, you'll need to create a Device Profile.

📄️ Check Your Device's Health
Devices connected to SmartThings may go offline for any number of reasons, including hardware or network problems. In order to provide better visibility for users, the device health service tracks connected devices and hubs. Based on the configuration of the health settings for a device or hub, the service will determine the health of the connection. As checks occur, the device or hub will be marked offline if it does not respond in the specified amount of time.
