Any real-time deregistration notification to AVS client ? #836

Hi, AVS team

AVS SDK Version: 1.8

We have developed an independent companion APP for users to interact with our Alexa enabled devices. Users have also been instructed to register/deregister our Alexa enabled products with dedicated APP rather than Amazon Alexa APP.

However, users still can deregister an Alexa device via Amazon Alexa APP. While triggering a deregistration on Amazon Alexa APP, is there any deregistered notification sent to AVS client immediately to let AVS client inform companion APP ?

In addition, as following link indicates "a user interaction on the Amazon Alexa app would trigger ResetUserInactivity directive", is it a good way to detect deregistration from Alexa APP by observing ResetUserInactivity directive ? If not, could you advice us to achieve a better way to get real-time deregistration notification ?

Hi @justy0714,

ResetUserInactivity is not tied to deregistration. It is used to reset the timer that would signal a user being inactive (see https://developer.amazon.com/docs/alexa-voice-service/system.html#resetuserinactivity)

We are still improving the device deregistration experience. For now, please check the answer provided in #339.

Thanks, Kenneth
