Configuration schema

Every configuration block, default and validation rule, generated from the runtime schema.

Use these definitions inside your devices.json. Defaults apply only when a value is omitted. Environment variables and CLI flags can override supported fields; see Configuration and CLI. Required properties are listed inside each object. Optional secrets are not example values.
