WoT Action Example (using an HTTP protocol binding):

"actions": {

"setTemperature": {

"title": "Set Temperature",

"description": "Sets the desired temperature",

"input": {

"type": "object",

"title": "SetTemperature",

"properties": {

"target": {

"type": "number",

"minimum": 10,

"maximum": 30,

"unit": "degree Celsius"

}

}

}

"forms": [

{

"href": "https://example.com/things/thermostat/actions/setTemperature",

"contentType": "application/json",

"htv:methodName": "POST"

}

]

}

}

The JSON payload in the HTTP call to invoke the setTemperature action would look like this:

{ "target": 22.5 }

Where target is the desired temperature in Celsius (must be between 10 and 30).
