Alexa Smart Home Error Response in the documentation is not clear enough












0















I am referring to the documentation of Amazon Alexa Smart Home and I have a doubt related to the JSON body they have given.



{"event": {
"header": {
"namespace": "Alexa",
"name": "ErrorResponse",
"messageId": "abc-123-def-456",
"correlationToken": "dFMb0z+PgpgdDmluhJ1LddFvSqZ/jCc8ptlAKulUj90jSqg==",
"payloadVersion": "3"
},
"endpoint":{
"endpointId":"appliance-001"
},
"payload": {
"type": "ENDPOINT_UNREACHABLE",
"message": "Unable to reach endpoint 12345 because it appears to be offline"
}}}


Is this the directive from the Alexa or is this the event I need to send in the response.



Thanks

          This is the ErrorResponse event that you have to send to Alexa whenever an error occurs while processing a control or query directive.



          The payload of an ErrorResponse event must specify a type and a message.





          1. type: This indicates the kind of error that has occurred. Alexa uses this attribute to respond to the customer appropriately.


          2. message: String that provides more information about the error for logging purposes.


          ENDPOINT_UNREACHABLE error type indicates that the target endpoint is currently unreachable or offline.
