Would like to say "Alexa arm alarm" which would automatically arm to stay mode.  Anyone know if this is possible?

Yes via rotines on Alexa and the Alexa Voice Scene driver, or TCP driver.

voice scene driver >make a scene Arm Alarm> discover devices on Alexa. 

Now make a variable in C4 "arm alarm" boolean> program variable to arm alarm when True..

Go back to your Alexa routine and make Alexa trip the "arm alarm" variable True, which triggers your arm alarm programming. you could also put this in a macro and fire the macro. using a variable you also could use the false to disarm the alarm

Thanks.  Please provide link where the voice scene driver can be downloaded.

it is in Composer Pro database

Is it free or a paid driver.  I only have composer home.  If it is free I can ask my dealer to update it for me.  Is there any way for me to check in composer home if the driver is already installed?

The driver itself is free BUT 4sight is required to make it work (which you seem to have as lighting etc is working?), so there is a cost there if you don't already use that.

 

 

 

I have a 4sight subscription.  Thx
