DECT Device Types

Unit Types List

On a DECT Home Area Network you can have several physical devices, called Units. A Unit is of a certain type, e.g., Smoke Sensor, AC Outlet, etc. Every Unit implements one or more Interfaces. An Interface is a collection of Commands and Attributes. Interfaces come in pairs: server and client. A Unit that implements an interface client can communicate with a Unit implementing an interface server, and vice versa.

Bellow you can find a tables with some DECT Device Types, sorted by function:
