Question

I mostly use “away” mode but I’m coming around to using home mode as well what mode do y’all use the most?  

Answer 1

I use both equally. Home is set every night.

Choose device is at bottom

@halvorson try doing each step first and then save shouldn’t be grayed out

@rid21 more specifically, it "can" do that. you choose for each sensor to be armed in home mode, away mode, or both

@methylal yea I have seen that. Thanks for reminding me.

It would still be set up the way I have it in “home” at night with all door sensors armed and motion detector in kitchen unarmed.  

Answer 2

I use both. We use home at night and during the day even when home because have little kids and wife is working from home. If we leave then we arm away to activate all of our motion detectors. We have two doors set to main doors that use entry delay.  

Answer 3

Always away :-)

@halvorson awesome! LOL it's good to know I'm good for something :-).

Can assure you though, I kind of suck at basketball LOL.

@horoscope I have thought about doing the always away but husband would forget when he gets up in morning and wake the whole house. I wish Alexa guard could be set on away when I am home because I have some windows on back of house that I would like protected with the glass break.

@halvorson I'm afraid not only can I not play basketball well, I'm not even that good-looking LOL.  

Answer 4

@market406 I did find this online- need to be in the other rooms when door has been opened to see if it announces it on all: Currently, enabling Ring alerts in the Alexa app turns on the alerts for every Echo device in your home.  

Answer 5

Found the announce option when adding action click on messaging and it gives you option of all devices. Just updated my routines.  

Answer 6

Away, if I'm home I'm not worried.
