Alexa.SoftwareComponentReporter 1.0

The Alexa.SoftwareComponentReporter interface allows the device to report software information to the Alexa Voice Service (AVS). Our Solutions Architects use this information to help you troubleshoot any problems.

Capability assertion

A device can implement Alexa.SoftwareComponentReporter 1.0 on its own behalf, but not on behalf of any connected endpoints.

New AVS integrations must assert support through Alexa.Discovery. However, Alexa continues to support existing integrations using the Capabilities API.
