It looks like Amazon finally added Guard to Alexa Routines! Am I missing something, or can you only enable Guard (set to Away) via a Routine? I was planning on setting up a virtual switch to toggle on / off, but if you can only arm via routine that clearly isn’t going to work.

New Alexa Routine for Guard

The community FAQ covers both methods: using a virtual sensor with Alexa routines and using a second smart speaker nearby.
