    Once you tell it you're leaving, the mics turn on to listen for any sounds which it then notifies you of

    If your neighbours alarm went off, would it contact your alarm company and alert you?

    It'll most likely just send you a text message or a email, it'll be up to you to escalate.

    This sounds interesting for me. I've an alarm with a GSM dialler which sends me a text when my alarm goes off, so I have to go home and check. But with this I can use Alexa to confirm that no one has entered so I can leave the alarm to annoy the neighbours.

    Told Alexa I was leaving tonight. She wished me well.

    So not enabled over here yet?
