Q: Is there a way to use Alexa to arm or disarm the YoLink system with voice commands?
A: Yes, you can set up a routine in Alexa to trigger a scene in YoLink. First, make sure you have discovered the new scene in the Alexa app. Then, set up a routine, selecting "when this happens". Choose "voice" as the trigger, and then set the phrase you want to use to arm or disarm the system. For example, you could say "Echo, arm my home". Then, add the action "Smart Home", select "Control scene", and choose the scene you want to execute. Finally, save the routine and you'll be able to use your voice to control your YoLink system.
