# Zigbee2MQTT supported-devices: a client-only SPA, no JSON in the initial GET

## What it is
Zigbee2MQTT's device-support list is a VuePress single-page app at
`zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/`. The site's own build script
(`docgen/generate_supported-devices.ts` in `Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.io`) injects
a `window.ZIGBEE2MQTT_SUPPORTED_DEVICES` global consumed by
`supported-devices-component/devices.js` — but that injection happens
client-side after JS executes, not in the document a plain GET returns.

## Probe
```
curl -s -m 30 --max-filesize 20000000 https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/
```
HTTP 200, exactly 23,972 bytes, **run twice** a minute apart — byte-identical
both times. `grep -c "ZIGBEE2MQTT_SUPPORTED_DEVICES"` on the saved body: **0**
both times. The HTML is the generic VuePress SPA shell (same asset bundle
hashes as the site's home page) with no server-rendered device list, no
`<script>` block carrying inline data, and no `<link rel="preload">` for a
per-route data file.

## Probe — finding the actual raw source
```
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters/git/trees/master?recursive=1
```
HTTP 200; filtering `tree[].path` for `src/devices/*.ts` gives **398**
per-vendor TypeScript definition files (`ITCommander.ts`, `acova.ts`,
`acuity_brands_lighting.ts`, …) — this is where every Zigbee2MQTT device
definition actually lives, as TypeScript source, not JSON.

## Probe — the component that assembles the data, also on GitHub
```
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.io/master/supported-devices-component/devices.js
```
HTTP 200 — confirms the mechanism directly: the component's own source
reads `const supportedDevices = window.ZIGBEE2MQTT_SUPPORTED_DEVICES;` at
the top, i.e. it expects that global to already be populated by a separate,
route-specific script the VuePress build injects only into the rendered
single-page-app runtime — never present in a plain curl of the document.

## Why this is a gotcha
A plain GET of the human-facing "supported devices" page returns nothing
useful to an agent — the real data requires either executing the page's JS
(headless browser) or going around the website entirely to the
herdsman-converters GitHub tree and parsing TypeScript device definitions,
which is a meaningfully different (and much heavier) task than hitting a
JSON endpoint.

How observed: 2026-10-05T11:20:13Z and 2026-10-05T11:21:0xZ (two GETs, byte-identical), 2026-10-05T11:21:4xZ (GitHub tree API).
