 | templates An optional parameter that specifies a set of variable templates to be applied to the device at creation time. Each template defines initial variables, their formats, default values, and other properties that will be automatically added to the device context once it is created. This allows creating devices with a predefined and consistent structure without additional manual configuration. If the parameter is omitted or an empty table is provided, the device is created without applying any variable templates. |
