Control Amazon Alexa with beam

Amazon Alexa is designed around your voice. Its far-field voice recognition hears you from across the room and lets you control your connected home devices without lifting a finger, beam enabled products included! It’s always on — just ask for information, music, news, weather, and more. Alexa begins working as soon as it detects the wake word (either “Alexa” or “Amazon”).

You can control many of beam’s features by speaking directly to your Amazon Echo device. Here are a few of the things with which the beam app can help:

TO CLOSE YOUR GARAGE DOOR, SAY:
“Alexa, tell beam to close my door”

TO OPEN YOUR GARAGE DOOR, SAY:
“Alexa, tell beam to open my door”

TO CLOSE YOUR GARAGE DOOR BY NAME, SAY:
“Alexa, tell beam to close Andrew’s Door”

TO OPEN YOUR GARAGE DOOR BY NAME, SAY:
“Alexa, tell beam to open Andrew’s Door”

Commands like "Alexa, tell beam to open Andrew's Door," must be followed with a pin code for security purposes.

To connect your beam controller to your Amazon Echo device, follow these steps:
  • Open the beam Home app and navigate to My Account > Integrations > Amazon Alexa. Tap "Continue".
  • Set your Pin Code and re-enter to confirm (if you’ve already set your Pin Code within your My Account settings, enter it now).
  • You'll then be directed to the Alexa Dashboard or Companion App . Go to "Skills" and search for beam Home.
  • Enable the beam Skill and enter your beam account email and password.
  • Choose "Allow"
  • Ask Alexa “Alexa, ask beam if any of my doors are open.”


The Amazon Alexa team is always adding more functionality. Read about how More Natural Control with Open, Close, Raise, and Lower Semantic Extensions will be enabled with beam technology and your Guardian Smart Control Kit.



beam Commands

The beam integration with Alexa gets smarter every day. Before you can link your beam to Alexa, you must first enable the beam skill (see above). To open the beam skill, say:

“Alexa, launch beam”

Here is a mostly complete list of commands:

  • “Alexa, ask beam what the names of my doors are”–get the names of your doors
  • “Alexa, ask beam for help”--Get helpful information
  • “Alexa, tell beam to close my door”–Close an open door
  • “Alexa, tell beam to open my door”–Open a closed door (requires a Pin Code)
