Hi, I have two things that I want to confirm:
1. Is tracker-id required for posting an alarm the "id" that I obtain from GET request of "Get Devices"?
2. When I try to create an alarm through POST, I receive:
{"errors":[{"errorType":"validation","fieldName":"deviceId","message":"Device does not support alarms, device id : <device id>"}]}
Does Charge 5 not support alarms creation using API?

According to https://help.fitbit.com/articles/en_US/Help_article/1868.htm?Highlight=set%20alarms, you set the alarm on the Charge 5 device itself, not through the mobile application. Therefore it would not support the Alarm endpoints. This is similar to the smart watches. I'll update the Web API documentation to clarify.

Hi @mickjeon,
It is my understanding that all trackers support the Alarm endpoints. Let me confirm with engineering.
