In this video I show how to correctly setup Alexa Guard to detect glass breakage, smoke and CO alarms. I also explain what away lighting does and I show you how to activated it to control your home lighting while you are away. More importantly I perform glass break testing and I activate my smoke detector in an attempt to answer the question, "Can Alexa Guard reliably detect a smoke alarm, CO alarm or breaking glass while in guard mode?" Find the surprising results. 🔵 Amazon Alexa Guard Information: https://amzn.to/3HQU3Pp ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~~-~~-~-~~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ 🟡 Subscribe: www.youtube.com/c/BudsSmartHome 🔴 Buds Smart Home Website: https://www.budshomeautomation.com 🔵 Source Info and Deals on Aeotec and SmartThings compatible devices: 🛒- Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/budssmarthome 🟢 Amazon Links for Aeotec/SmartThings Devices: 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Hub: https://amzn.to/3hG653a 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Motion Sensor: https://amzn.to/3AklqOt 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Door Sensor: https://amzn.to/3hI48n2 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Water Leak Sensor: https://amzn.to/3klfHC8 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Camera: https://amzn.to/2XEjC4x 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Smart Plug: https://amzn.to/3lBpqE4 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Button: https://amzn.to/3kfDBiC 🛒- Aeotec/SmartThings Range Extender: https://amzn.to/3hDwLSn 🟠 How to support Bud's Smart Home Automation: 🛒 - Shop my Amazon Store: https://www.amazon.com/shop/budssmarthome 💳 - Buy me a Coffee via PayPal: https://paypal.me/BudsHomeAutomation 🟢 Amazon Deals! 🛒 - Try Amazon Prime for FREE: https://amzn.to/2ZY8pN3 🛒 - Try Audible for Free : https://amzn.to/3oAVVW5 🛒 - Amazon Music - 90 Days for FREE: https://amzn.to/2WM2klA 🟡 Music Selections used in this video include - Intro Music - "Dumb as a Box" by Dan Lebowitz - Background Music - "Chubs" by Quincas Moreira - Exit Music – “World_Map” by Jason Farnham -~-~~-~~~-~~-~- DISCLAIMER: The links in this description are affiliate links, which means if you click on a link to make a purchase I may receive a small commission.
