DeviceSetup interface


The DeviceSetup API is used to handle events and directives related to device set up during or after an out-of-box experience.

Capability Assertion

DeviceSetup 1.0 may be implemented by the device on its own behalf, but not on behalf of any connected endpoints.

New AVS integrations must assert support through Alexa.Discovery, but Alexa will continue to support existing integrations using the Capabilities API.
