Using SimpliSafe's custom skill, you can now ask Alexa to arm your security system in either Home or Away mode. Tell Alexa that you are leaving for the day and Alexa will take care of the rest. Getting ready for bed? Simply tell Alexa goodnight and your SimpliSafe system will switch into Home mode making sure your home is always protected!
To arm SimpliSafe, use statements like these:
For Home Mode: - Alexa, ask SimpliSafe to arm my system in home mode. - Alexa, tell SimpliSafe to lock up. - Alexa, tell SimpliSafe good night. - Alexa, tell SimpliSafe I'm going to bed.
For Away Mode: - Alexa, ask SimpliSafe to arm my system in away mode - Alexa, tell SimpliSafe I’m going out - Alexa, tell SimpliSafe I’m leaving - Alexa, tell SimpliSafe to turn on
Check Status: - Alexa, ask SimpliSafe if my house is secure - Alexa, ask SimpliSafe if I am protected - Alexa, ask SimpliSafe for my current status - Alexa, ask SimpliSafe what's shakin'
How to Connect: - Enable the SimpliSafe skill in your Alexa app or through the Alexa Marketplace. - Log in to SimpliSafe and select your SimpliSafe location if you have more than one.
