About Managing Subscriptions in Alexa Smart Properties for Hospitality

After you create a unit under your organization (for example, representing your property), you can assign a subscription to it so that all endpoints in units created under the property can get the intended features, experiences, and policies.

Each subscription is a pre-defined skill. To enable the hospitality subscription for your property, use the Skill Management API with the skill ID from the Skill IDs list.

You can only enable subscriptions on a level-one unit (that is, a direct child unit of organization). The rest of this documentation refers to a level-one unit as a property. You can't create further hierarchy under a property until you enable a subscription on the property.

You can enable any of the available subscriptions for the properties in your organization. Any given property can only have one subscription associated with it at a given time. Any units you create under the property going forward will automatically have the subscription applied to them. If you wish to remove all subscriptions, work with your Alexa Smart Properties contact for next steps.
