Your locks 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 lock names to communicate with a collection of devices that have similar names.
Example: Saying "Alexa, ask Alarm.com to lock the basement locks" or "Alexa, ask Alarm.com to lock the locks in the basement" will lock both locks if they are called basement door and basement deadbolt.
Say the device type in the command to interact with groups of locks based on the general device type (such as doors, locks, or deadbolts).
Example: Ask Alexa to lock the doors using Alarm.com. or "Ask Alarm.com using Alexa My doors—are they locked?"
