Mitch -- what did you do to get them added beyond the steps above? What is the magic you used?

I had the exact same problem with the same steps about a year ago when I purchased a used one.

I've been disappointed in the Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries for the door locks maybe getting an extra three months. For my other devices in my project, I am much happier. Not sure if they are worth the price premium.

I haven't used my remotes in years. Just sitting in the closet. I should sell them.

First, you need Composer.... if you don't have it, you can't build it. Find a switch or other device in your system that you aren't using or you can trigger inside of Alexa today. Create a condition that if that device is triggered, or turned on, it will trigger the Card Access devices at the same time. Turn it on, it opens the doors because of the conditions. Turn it off, and it triggers to close the doors. The solution is shockingly simple, but elusive -- and requires Composer. In the Alexa app, make sure primary device is enabled and can have commands voiced to it. C4 does everything else behind the scenes on the controller. Hope that helps!

Thanks guys. I found a way in Composer to utilize an Alexa identified, but unused device elsewhere in my system and then put in some conditional statements to control the garage doors when that unused device is triggered by C4. Works like a charm! It gives me the stealth I need as well, so someone can't come up to Alexa and easily figure out what to say.

haha, I bought my Apple watch just for C4 functionality as others did, too. I vote for fixing issues and upgrading. My watch has become more useful to me in other ways, so I am hopeful C4 can also.

My garage doors are wired up and control through CardAccess Contact Sensors. Is there any way I can use Alexa to control these doors? They don't even show up in a scan. I noticed I can not use them for programming inside of When/If inside of Customer.control4.com -- so i am guessing it can't be done? Maybe through a scene in composer?
