Auto Start/Stop Alexa Guard Upon Departure and Arrival

This is an easy to follow guide for automating Alexa Guard so the SmartThings App along with the Echo Speaks App will trigger your Echo Devices to AWAY mode when you depart from your home's GeoFence and will also trigger your Echo Devices to HOME mode when you return home and enter your home's GeoFence. This will enable Alexa Guard on all of your Echo Devices. Alexa Guard will he be automatically activated and deactivated depending your family's presence of lack of presence. The SmartThings Community Installer needs to be Setup so that it may be used to install Echo Voice. The SmartThings Community Installer and the Echo Voice App are free SmartThings Community Apps. The Community Installer allows you to do one click installation of SmartThings community developed applications and device handlers. Once the Community Installer is set-up then you can install Echo Speaks from within the Community Installer App. Please check the links provided below for instructions on installing both of these SmartThings Community apps.

Take your home automation to the next level by setting up Echo Speaks!
