Enable Alexa Guard away mode

Question

Enable Alexa Guard away mode

BassTeQ opened this issue 4 years ago · comments

Hello, is there way to set alexa guard to away or home mode?
I don't want to have to say "Alexa I'm leaving" each time someone leaves the house, I'd like to use this module to manage it.

Thanks

Can you enable it using the Alexa App? I never saw that.

Yes you just click the icon to toggle the status, but you have to first enable it in the settings.

Is this feature already available in Germany?

Check in your alexa app "settings" first as you have to choose to enable it.

ioBroker Admin: Instances - Export Mode - Column Loglevel. Set to Debug and adapter will restart automatically.
Logfile on disk normally in /opt/iobroker/log/...

@BassTeQ If you install the alexa media integration in HA you will be able to do the following

Guard should show up as an entity. This is how I enable disable guard based on whether my alarm has been armed or disarmed. You could use some sort of presence detector also to trigger the node

Problem is that I only have an EU account and from my knowledge the guard is still not available there ... SO if you can somehow find out ewhat "Home asssistant" is sending out in such cases to Amazon I could rebukld it. Else I still miss the details

Ok, I did some research: It seems to be that the initial "activation" needs to be done in the Alexa App manually. Fter that the "guard mode" should be existing as a normal smart device. Can you please check and validate that?
