Creates a custom (non-official) product, classified under a component_type. kind and component_type are both required; kind refuses vm (retired, folded into app). Gated by product:create.

Media type application/json
object
$schema

A URL to the JSON Schema for this object.

string format: uri
component_type
required

The component_type this product is classified under (mic, camera, …), by name or uuid; every product must belong to one of the tree’s nodes. The generics (generic-device, generic-app, generic-service) fit anything not yet modeled more specifically.

string
>= 1 characters
driver_id

The driver that talks to it, by handle or uuid

string
icon

A product-level icon override; unset inherits the component_type’s icon

string

string
>= 1 characters
label_rule

Omit to inherit the component_type chain’s rule, then the global component rule. A template that does not parse is refused here, 422.
