How To: Device JSON File Details - darkconsole/dse-display-model GitHub Wiki

The JSON file is what allows DM to find devices without having to edit DM, and it also defines what various devices can do and how it can do them. In the How-To for adding new furniture it describes how to make a simple one pose device, but with this JSON and some creativity it can do a bit more.

Note: all references to FORMID in the JSON must be in "ID|ESP" format.
