# sos.management

The `sos.management` API group provides methods for managing the device. Through this API, things like device firmware,
battery status, brightness, network information, remote control, power, time, or volume can be monitored.

### supports()

The `supports()` method determines whether a queried capability is supported.

#### What are capabilities?
Capabilities are features or functionalities that a device can support. We divided those capabilities into `front` and `management` capabilities.
This section is about management capabilities, which include features to manage the device, receive information about the device, or change its settings.

On the other hand, the `front` capabilities are features that are related to the application running on the device, such as displaying content, handling user input, etc.
To check `front` capabilities, refer to the `sos.display.supports()` method or [this section](https://developers.signageos.io/sdk/sos/display#supports).

:::tip
If you want to check specific capabilities, refer to the sidebar for the selected management section. Every section has its capabilities written in the description,
or check the **ManagementCapability** type in `supports()` method. It has a list of all available capabilities for all platforms.
:::

```ts expandable
supports(capability: ManagementCapability): Promise<boolean>;
// show-more
type ManagementCapability = 'MODEL' | 'SERIAL_NUMBER' | 'BRAND' | 'OS_VERSION' | 'BATTERY_STATUS' | 'STORAGE_UNITS' | 'TEMPERATURE' | 'SCREENSHOT_UPLOAD' | 'NETWORK_INFO' | 'WIFI' | 'WIFI_SCAN' | 'WIFI_AP' | 'WIFI_STRENGTH' | 'TIMERS_PROPRIETARY' | 'BRIGHTNESS_SCHEDULING' | 'TIMERS_NATIVE' | 'SET_BRIGHTNESS' | 'GET_BRIGHTNESS' | 'SCREEN_RESIZE' | 'SET_TIME' | 'SET_TIMEZONE' | 'GET_TIMEZONE' | 'NTP_TIME' | 'APP_UPGRADE' | 'FIRMWARE_UPGRADE' | 'PACKAGE_INSTALL' | 'SET_VOLUME' | 'GET_VOLUME' | 'SET_REMOTE_CONTROL_ENABLED' | 'SET_DEBUG' | 'SYSTEM_REBOOT' | 'APP_RESTART' | 'DISPLAY_POWER' | 'SERVLET' | 'HARDWARE_LED_SET_COLOR' | 'PROXIMITY_SENSOR' | 'FACTORY_RESET' | 'ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE' | 'ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT' | 'ORIENTATION_LANDSCAPE_FLIPPED' | 'ORIENTATION_PORTRAIT_FLIPPED' | 'ORIENTATION_AUTO' | 'SCHEDULE_POWER_ACTION' | 'EXTENDED_MANAGEMENT' | 'SYSTEM_CPU' | 'SYSTEM_MEMORY' | 'PROXY' | 'AUTO_RECOVERY' | 'PEER_RECOVERY' | 'FILE_SYSTEM_WIPEOUT' | 'REMOTE_DESKTOP' | 'HOTEL_MODE' | 'VPN' | 'CUSTOM_SCRIPTS' | 'NATIVE_COMMANDS_MDC' | 'DEVICE_OWNER' | 'ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE' | 'DISPLAY_MANAGER' | 'SECRETS' | 'HARDWARE_ACCELERATION' | 'WIFI_COUNTRY' | 'STOP_PACKAGE' | 'SEND_UDP' | 'WAKE_ON_LAN' | 'CLEAR_PACKAGE_DATA' | AnyString;
