I creating a smart home alexa skill, I study a lot of things and I need to use directives but I don't know how do I get the device_id to test in my devices, I use the example "https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/smarthome/steps-to-build-a-smart-home-skill.html" from this page. I don't understand how I get the devices id's. Anybory know if I'm doing this correctly?

Hmmm, the only place I see "device id" on the page you provided is in the comment. Honestly I'm not sure what it is. Maybe it's a documentation bug.

Normally it works like this:

  1. Discovery contains endpoint id (one or more)
  2. When Alexa sends directive for the device, it includes the endpoint id in the directive. Should be directive.endpoint.endpointId.

You can extra data in the cookie. Data sent in cookie in discovery is reflected in every directive, when your skill is called.
