At Protection One, we speak security and now so does Alexa. Wouldn't it be great to be able to disarm your security system using your voice while your hands are full of groceries walking into the house? To be able to turn on the lights without having to search for the switch? To unlock the front door for a guest while you are in the kitchen? Simply say "Alexa, ask Protection One to arm my system" or "Alexa, ask Protection One to turn on the light," and Alexa will follow your command. There are dozens of commands to control your system with more being added!
Here are a few examples of other commands (start with "Alexa, ask Protection One..."):
Secure Actions "...to disarm my system." "...to unlock the front door." "...to open the garage door."
Security "...is my security system (dis)armed?" "...to arm stay my security system."
Access "...is the garage door open?" "...to close the garage door." "...is the front door unlocked?" "...to lock the front door."
Video Monitoring "...to record a clip with the living room camera." "...to pan the living room camera to the couch."
Thermostat "...what is the temperature? "...to set the living room to AC mode." "...to set the kitchen thermostat to 72 degrees."
Lights "...to turn the kitchen light on." "...to set the living room light to 20%." "...to turn off the lights."
