Reporting error for specific device when handling query intent

I'm trying to implement an handler for the query request

It's not clear to me what should be returned in case I'm not able to return the status of a device.

In particular I would like to understand how to reply if one of the devices in the query request is no more controlled/owned by the user.

Should I reply with an error response even if only one device of the query request is no more available? Or should I have to report anyway the state of the rest of the devices?

If there is an error in a specific device, you should return an errorCode as one of the properties in the response for that device. Alternatively, you can return online: false.

If you know that the device no longer exists, you may want to also run a REQUEST_SYNC call to refresh the user's devices.

Example:

{
  "requestId": "ff36a3cc-ec34-11e6-b1a0-64510650abcf",
  "payload": {
    "devices": {
      "123": {
        "errorCode": "deviceNotFound"
      }
    }
  }
}
