Ok, I understand it is a build in security feature, however, in my case I have a front Gate and there is no way someone from the street can enter the house by talking to Alexa through door. At the same time, once I open a gate to my buddies (automating it via push button), I would like to simply tell Alexa to open the front door so I don’t have to walk down from the one end of the house to another when i am busy at the kitchen.
How do I do that?
