Скачать или смотреть Alexa Guard: What it Does and How to Activate It

(Forgive me for the caps, it's how I take notes, I'm not yelling 😉)

ALEXA GUARD USES THE AMAZON ECHO SPEAKERS IN YOUR HOME TO DETECT AND INFORM YOU OF CERTAIN THREATS TO YOUR HOME.


ALEXA GUARD IS BUILT-INTO MOST NEW AMAZON ECHO DEVICES, BUT YOU NEED TO ENABLE IT BEFORE YOU CAN USE IT.


ALEXA GUARD USES THE FAR-FIELD MICROPHONES IN ALL AMAZON ECHO SPEAKERS TO LISTEN FOR THE SOUNDS OF BREAKING GLASS AND SMOKE OR CO2 ALARM SIRENS.


ALEXA WILL ALSO RANDOMLY TURN SOME OF YOUR SMART LIGHTS ON AND OFF TO CREATE THE APPEARANCE SOMEONE IS HOME. OF COURSE THIS REQUIRES THAT YOU HAVE SMART LIGHTING CONNECTED TO YOUR ALEXA ACCOUNT.


IF YOU NEED HELP ON HOW TO DO THIS, I HAVE ANOTHER VIDEO ON PHILIPS HUE, LIFX, AND AURORA NANOLEAF THAT ARE ALL COMPATIBLE WITH ALEXA.


AFTER YOU'VE ENABLED ALEXA GUARD IN THE APP, YOU CAN SIMPLY SAY "ALEXA, I'M LEAVING" TO THE NEAREST ECHO. THIS WILL TURN ON ALEXA GUARD MODE.


NOW IF THE ECHO DEVICE HEARS A SMOKE ALARM, CO2 ALARM, OR GLASS BREAKING, YOU WILL RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION TO YOUR PHONE THAT TELLS YOU WHAT TYPE OF EMERGENCY IS HAPPENING AT YOUR HOME. IT WILL GIVE YOU THE OPTION TO LISTEN TO THE SOUND IT RECORDED AND EVEN USE THE "DROP-IN" FEATURE TO LISTEN IN REAL-TIME WHAT YOUR ECHO IS CURRENTLY HEARING, NO MATTER IF YOU ARE ACROSS THE CITY OR ACROSS THE WORLD.
