+      net.hadess.PowerProfiles:
+      @short_description: Power Profiles daemon
+
+      The power-profiles-daemon API is meant to be used by parts of the OS or
+      desktop environment to switch system power profiles based on user choice,
+      or user intent.
+
+      OS components would typically use the "Profiles" property to construct
+      their UI (2 or 3 profiles available), and monitor the "ActiveProfile"
+      and the "PerformanceInhibited" properties to update that UI. The UI
+      would try to set the "ActiveProfile" property if the user selected
+      a different one.
+
+      Note that the reason why the project exists and how it is different from
+      existing projects is explained <ulink href=" https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/hadess/power-profiles-daemon/-/blob/master/README.md">
+      in the project's README file</ulink>.
+
+      The object path will be "/net/hadess/PowerProfiles".
+  -->
+  <interface name="net.hadess.PowerProfiles">
+    <!--
+        ActiveProfile:
+
+        The type of the currently active profile. It might change automatically
+        if the "performance" profile was selected but it got inhibited, in which
+        case the "PerformanceInhibited" property will reflect the reason.
+    -->
+    <property name="ActiveProfile" type="s" access="readwrite"/>
+
+    <!--
+        PerformanceInhibited:
+
+        This will be set if the performance power profile is unavailable, with
+        the value being used to identify the reason for unavailability. As new
+        reasons can be added, it is recommended that front-ends show a generic
+        reason if they do not recognise the value. Possible values are:
+        - "lap-detected" (the computer is sitting on the user's lap)
+        - "high-operating-temperature" (the computer is close to overheating)
+        - "" (the empty string, if not inhibited)
+    -->
+    <property name="PerformanceInhibited" type="s" access="read"/>
+
+    <!--
+        Profiles:
+
+        An array of key-pair values representing each profile. The key named
+        "Driver" (s) identifies the power-profiles-daemon backend code used to
+        implement the profile.
+
+        The key named "Profile" (s) will be one of:
+        - "power-saver" (battery saving profile)
+        - "balanced" (the default  profile)
+        - "performance" (a profile that does not care about noise or battery consumption)
+
+        Only one of each type of profile will be listed, with the daemon choosing the
+        more appropriate "driver" for each profile type.
+    -->
+    <property name="Profiles" type="aa{sv}" access="read"/>
+
+    <!--
+        Actions:
+
+        An array of strings listing each one of the "actions" implemented in
+        the running daemon. This is used by API users to figure out whether
+        particular functionality is available in a version of the daemon.
+    -->
+    <property name="Actions" type="as" access="read"/>
