    <description>&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;Thanks for reaching out. Could you please share what &lt;A href="https://developers.home.google.com/cloud-to-cloud/guides#released" target="_self"&gt;device type&lt;/A&gt; you are implementing?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Steps to resolve "Can not create a test plan" issue:&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1. Check for Required Traits&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The Certification Test Suite requires specific "Mandatory Traits" to generate a plan. If your device type uses custom or non-standard traits, the test engine won't know what to "test."&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Recommendation:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; Ensure your device implements required traits like &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;action.devices.traits.OnOff&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Verification:&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; Check your SYNC response for &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;klyqa-pet-test-action&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;. If the traits list is empty or only contains experimental traits, the test plan will fail to generate.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2. Validate the "Attributes" in SYNC&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;The test suite is very strict about the &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;attributes&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; object in your SYNC response.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;UL&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;If you have a trait like &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;OnOff&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;, ensure &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;pausable&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; or other boolean attributes are explicitly defined if required.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;LI style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Use the&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;A href="https://home-testsuite.webapps.google.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt; Google Home Test Suite &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;(the standalone web tool) to run a manual validation. It might provide a more descriptive error than the Console's "Cannot create a test plan" message.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/LI&gt;
&lt;/UL&gt;
&lt;H3&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3. Account Linking State&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/H3&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="2"&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;You must have successfully linked your integration to your test account in the Google Home App. If there are 0 devices associated with your test account for that Project ID, the test plan has nothing to target.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
