# ALYT Developers

> The developer platform of ALYT, the edge-AI home platform: a REST API under /api/v1, an MQTT event surface, connectors described by machine-readable descriptors, and a sandbox with virtual devices. Every page below is also served as markdown at the same path with .md appended.

## Pages

- [Capabilities](https://developers.alyt.com/capabilities.md): Every device is described by a set of capabilities bound to a closed set of control primitives. A client renders a device it has never seen from this.
- [Changelog](https://developers.alyt.com/changelog.md): Every change to the developer surface, newest first, written from the contract diff by the docs bot and merged by a person.
- [Community connectors](https://developers.alyt.com/community.md): Connectors written by developers outside ALYT, reviewed and published. What each brings, who wrote it, and whether it calls a model.
- [Apple TV](https://developers.alyt.com/connectors/apple_tv.md): Apple TVs in your rooms: power, volume, open an app, and show a camera on the screen, all on your own network.
- [Pascucci (aromi.ai)](https://developers.alyt.com/connectors/aromi.md): Your Pascucci machine through aromi.ai: brew, warm up, and see what it is doing.
- [GE Cync](https://developers.alyt.com/connectors/cync.md): Cync bulbs, dimmers, switches and plugs, through Cync's cloud with your account.
- [ecobee](https://developers.alyt.com/connectors/ecobee.md): The ecobee thermostat and its room sensors, paired on your own network. No ecobee account is involved.
- [Google TV](https://developers.alyt.com/connectors/google_tv.md): Google TVs in your rooms: power, volume, open an app, and show a camera on the screen, all on your own network.

- [Ring](https://developers.alyt.com/connectors/ring.md): Ring cameras and doorbells: the last motion and the last ring, battery, and a floodlight's switch, through Ring's cloud.
- [Sonos](https://developers.alyt.com/connectors/sonos.md): Your Sonos speakers, controlled by room, and the room the assistant answers in.
