Bug in Maker API output

When querying full details on a device or devices, some commands (mostly on/off) are duplicated in the output. I think this is due to some devices having multiple device capabilities that expose on/off commands.

Would it be possible to have the Maker API app filter these out as the Device details page does?

I've noticed this as well but I wasn't sure if it was a "bug" or something else. It will be interesting to hear from Hubitat on this though.

It's not really a bug IMO, just returning the list of attributes from capabilities. It's more of a feature request to dedup the list server side vs doing it client side.

It's added to the list.

Makes sense that it's just duplication from the capabilities. I'm dealing with it on client side so I'm not concerned.
