!! NOTE: In a recent email to customers, Amazon said that some of Guard’s features like smoke and CO alarm detection will be moved to its new Emergency Assist service, which is available for $5.99 per month or $59 per year. The good news is that basic features like Home and Away and "Away Lighting" are still free to use.

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.
