There are many different connected devices in the world today & each works just a little different from the next. Every company has their own APIs, device schemas, etc. What capabilities provide is a way to break down all of these unique devices into some common core functions. Consider, the Switch capability. It's our most popular capability as its sole purpose is to turn something on or off. To control something with the Switch capability, you simply set the Switch attribute to either On or Off. Doesn't matter who manufactured the product or what kind of API it is using. This allows you to design universal page templates that can work with any device you throw at it.
