The thermostat is described from its page: one, two or three setpoints with holdUntil, AdjustTargetTemperature,
SetThermostatMode with the six modes (EM_HEAT is new), ResumeSchedule, adaptiveRecoveryStatus, and its seven error
types under Alexa.ThermostatController. A declaration gives supportedModes, supportsScheduling and the properties
the device has; without them discovery is what 1.5.2 sent: HEAT, COOL, AUTO, OFF and the three setpoints with
thermostatMode. supportedModes without HEAT or COOL is refused where it is declared.
ThermostatController.Schedule replaces its stub. Wire change for a 1.x declaration of it: version 3.2 (was 1) and
scheduleEnabled listed (was nothing). SetAdaptiveRecovery is taken only with supportsAdaptiveRecovery.
24 examples of three pages are saved as fixtures; the page folds the SetWeeklySchedule example away, its payload
is tested from the tables. 207 tests pass, 191 before.

Eight descriptors written from their pages, each with its version, the value of its property and the payload of
every directive. Seven replace a stub; Alexa.HumiditySensor is new, as AlexaInterfaceType.HUMIDITY_SENSOR.
LockController is deferrable: defer() on a lock logs no warning.
A 1.x declaration of LockController, MotionSensor, PercentageController or PowerLevelController now lists its
property in discovery, where 1.5.2 listed none: the zoo's lock, motion sensor and heater come out as the JSON
Alexa accepted. A payload that does not fit (hue 361, 900 K) is answered with INVALID_VALUE.
48 examples of the eight pages are saved as fixtures. 191 tests pass, 168 before.

src/messages builds Response, StateReport, DeferredResponse, ErrorResponse, ChangeReport and the scene, doorbell
and simple events from plain values; messageId and times are parameters, so a test compares whole objects.
StateBuilder collects properties checked by the descriptors, AlexaError and AlexaErrors carry the payload fields
of an error type. AlexaStatusMessage and AlexaErrorResponse move to src/compat and are written on the builders.
On the wire, against 1.5.2: a DeferredResponse has no context key, a ChangeReport has no correlationToken, the
namespace of an ErrorResponse follows its type, and a ChangeReport without a changed property is not published:
send() resolves "" and the bridge reports an error that names the endpoint.
143 tests pass (108 before).

A capability is a descriptor plus what the endpoint declares (device/Capability.ts), and its discovery object is
generated from the two. The new API is bridge.addDevice({ endpointId, name, categories, ... }) and
device.add(PowerController, options): both throw a DeclarationError that names the endpoint, the interface and
the instance (device/validate.ts), and leave the bridge and the device as they were. AlexaInterface is the same
Capability with the 1.x methods on it; it, ActionMapping and the enums moved to src/compat/, Device to src/device/.
What a 1.x caller can observe:
- every endpoint ends with { type: "AlexaInterface", interface: "Alexa", version: "3" } (alexa-interface.html);
new Alex2MQTT(..., { alexaInterface: false }) leaves it out
- the fields of a capability object come in the order of Amazon's examples; their content is unchanged
- addCapability() with a name that is not an interface throws (1.5.2 announced it with the version "UNKNOWN")
- ActionMapping takes the payload as an object; a JSON string is parsed (1.5.2 sent the string), any other throws
- what Alexa would reject in a 1.x declaration is not refused: device.check() lists it and the bridge logs each
line once, as "warning: ..." through the log hook, when it answers a discovery
- a device whose JSON cannot be built is left out of the answer and reported as an error event
- PowerController and EndpointHealth are the descriptors and keep ON/OFF and OK/UNREACHABLE; PowerState is new
Tests: six zoo devices declared the 1.x way give the JSON that Alexa accepted from 1.5.2 on 2026-09-28, plus the
Alexa capability. npm test: 85 pass (was 57) in 10-12 s, also on Node 18.20.8 and 20.20.2.
