Introduction
This document is for Widget manufacturers using OpenHome to define Widget services and properties. The services and properties are defined in XML, following the schema published by OpenHome.
Note
Note The OpenHome SDK contains a copy of the WidgetService.xsd used for validation. OpenHome may occasionally update the XSD definition to include new Widget properties. When these become available, OpenHome will publish the new XSD documents on openhome.org. All new XSD documents will be included in new releases of the SDK.
To help you produce your Widget Service XML file, this document provides descriptions of each element you can use in your own Widget Service XML file. A sample Widget Service XML file is used throughout the document.
Prerequisites
To begin defining your Widget Service XML you must in possession of the following items:
- technical details about the properties your Widget physically provides
- the OpenHome SDK, specifically the WidgetService.xsd file
