I integrated with AVS (see video), have a few questions on how to improve

Hey there, I've created an AVS integration that works well for standard Alexa queries (see demo video below for a purchase) but there are a few things I'm missing to make the integration with Alexa even more useful: - I can't find a way to direct a request to a specific Alexa-enabled device. Say I want to play music or set an alarm on my Echo device. Will this be possible with the AVS API at some point? - Since this is an app integration, the phone is obviously mobile and may be in different time zones and cities. Since Roger knows the location of the user, asking for the weather should return the weather for the current location. Is there an endpoint? - For timers/alarms, even if I can't set an alarm for another device, I should at least be able to set the timer locally. However, the response doesn't appear to contain enough information to create the timer or alarm. Am I doing something wrong or is the API for this incomplete?

Hello Blixt, Thank you for your feedback. The things you call out are currently not supported in AVS. However, I have shared this with the AVS product owners so it can be considered for a future release. Thanks. ~ Gautam
