What kind of technical documentation is necessary for a patent application

質問

I work at a design startup which has come up with a new IoT device for private household use. We are interested in a design patent for the device. What kind of technical documentation would we have to submit to the patent office? For example, do we have to include an actual circuit diagram with all parts, or can we submit a more generic diagram which does not necessarily show the whole (working) device?

or

Just to add to what Douglas has noted, you can also possibly obtain a utility patent for the electrical circuitry if there is something unique about the electrical circuitry that makes the device work. For that, you would need circuit diagrams and of course a specification and claims as with any other utility patent application.
