Using service account loses device trait actions about assistant-sdk-nodejs

[Fleker]

You're using a service account to make requests? I'm not sure that'll work? Users will more likely need to generate their own credentials so that your application can make requests on their behalf.

it works fine (update code attached -- requires oauth 2.0) .
I plan on having users create credentials but wanted something workable until they did that.
Also, curious about purpose of deviceInstanceID since user credentials seem to be for whole class of devices. Is there a more appropriate forum for me to post these questions?
Thanx -- Jeff

sorry to have bothered you. It seems this problem (not responding to device commands) has more to do with how I generate the credentials (and from what account) than the type of credentials.
Thanks for your patience.

Device instance ID is to identify that it's my bedroom speaker as opposed to my living room speaker, even they're both mine. They would probably have the same device model ID.

There's the Google+ community for more discussion-based questions, but I also monitor GitHub for questions.
