Alarm.com Skill - Interact with your security system through Amazon Alexa
Note: Arm away is currently not supported.
There are three ways to interact with your security panel using Amazon Alexa: by partition, group of partitions, or general device type.
- To interact by partition, use the exact name in the command.
- To interact with a group of devices with similar names, use a common word in the partition names.
Example: If there is a partition named Front Door and Front Area you could arm both by saying, "Alexa, ask Alarm.com to arm stay the front partitions." - To interact with the entire security system by the general device type (e.g., security system or panel), say the type of device in the command.
Example: "Alexa, ask Alarm.com to arm the panel" or "Alexa, ask Alarm.com is my panel armed?".
Example commands:
Important: If your security system does not support silent arming, you must use scene commands to arm stay. For more information about how to use scenes with Amazon Alexa, see Alarm.com Skill - Interact with your scenes through Amazon Alexa.
