Major Changes to Alexa Skill

[JDRoberts]

So now, with Alexa being able to lock/unlock locks, a thief can theoretically walk to your window and scream “Alexa, unlock the front door” and then simply walk in? Yeeey

This is being discussed at depth in the following thread:

Securing Amazon Echo

I’m eagerly awaiting delivery of my Amazon echo’s and dot next week. In the meantime I came across this: http://www.forbes.com/sites/aarontilley/2016/09/17/neighbor-unlocks-front-door-without-permission-with-the-help-of-apples-siri/#415971565b99 Could I ask how people using it secure their echo’s from doing the same with smartthings? Is there a way of disabling the echo’s integration when the SHM is armed? Could I for instance disable all my echo’s when I go to sleep at night and only leave my bedroom one active for arming/disarming SHM? Wondering what others have done to prevent it being used to bypass security.
