You were very close, the only thing missing was a call to the $httpBackend.flush();. The working test looks like follows:

it('returns a JSON', inject(function(Device) {
  var device = Device.get({ id: '50c61ff1d033a9b610000001' });
  $httpBackend.flush();
  expect(device.name).toEqual('Light');
}));

and a live test in plunker: http://plnkr.co/edit/Pp0LbLHs0Qxlgqkl948l?p=preview

You might also want to check docs for the $httpBackend mock.
