Abstract

Systems and methods for device functionality identification are disclosed. For example, a connected device may be coupled to a secondary device. A user may request operation of the connected device, and a system may determine that the connected device is of a given device type. Based on the connected device being of the given device type, the system may cause another device having an environmental sensor to send sensor data indicating environmental changes sensed by the sensor. The connected device may be operated and the sensor may sense environmental changes caused by operation of the connected device. When the sensed environmental changes indicate the device type of the secondary device, a recommendation to change the device type of the connected device to the device type of the secondary device may be provided to a user device associated with the connected device.
