Your lights may be accessed in one of three ways: by name, group, or generic device type.
Use the precise name from the command to communicate by name.
Use a common term in the light names to communicate with a collection of devices with similar names.
Example: Office Lamp and Office Light are two different types of lighting. Both the office lamp and the office light will turn off when you ask Alexa to turn off the office lights or "Alexa, ask Alarm.com to turn off the lights in the office."
Speak the device type in the command to interact with a generic device type (such as lights, switches, dimmers, shades, or bulbs).
Example: To turn off all of the lights associated with the account, just ask Alexa to "ask Alarm.com to turn off the switches."
The list of commands is only a small portion of what you might possibly say to your lights.
