How to link google home graph concept in Firebase (realtime database)

Question

In google smart home app, you can assign a device to a place, for example - bedroom (could this be home graph concept?).

How can I identify my device's place in my database (Firebase)?

Hi, have you tried searching for your answer? Quick search for "google home device place in db" yielded this result (search for 'Labels' within the page): https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/concepts/homegraph — ArielGro, Jan 20 '20 at 08:20
Hi ArielGro,I already tried hard to search.I know that we can assign devices to any place in google smart home app with UI but how can I know what device is assigned to where in database.Can we get a place tag from google smart home app? Or I don't worry about this problem due to using device id to store device state in my database?? — Xiaorenren, Jan 21 '20 at 02:38

The platform does not provide the partner with user-defined rooms and nicknames that the user defines in the Home Graph.

It means I can use API to get existed room information to design my database,right? What API can I use ? – Xiaorenren Jan 30 '20 at 05:46
No you can't obtain that through the API. – Nick Felker Jan 30 '20 at 15:41
I found https://developers.google.com/assistant/smarthome/reference/rpc/google.home.graph.v1#device have room_hint and structure_hint attributes.Can I use them to implement device loaction? – Xiaorenren Feb 10 '20 at 01:45
You can send that value in the initial SYNC, but you don't get those values back. – Nick Felker Feb 10 '20 at 15:30
