Device capabilities

Scope

Standard capability APIs (device.capability.list, device.property.*, device.service.invoke) are the default for new overseas integrations; legacy things-model OpenAPI is not published. Read Using capabilities and Device capability integration, then use the table below. Device list and online state stay on Device management APIs.
