I don’t understand the Alexa guarding feature….I did say guard my house and she said when I left “I am guarding the house,” but when I got home I forgot to shut it off and I am making noise, and she is not saying anything…..what is she really guarding?
If you are using the free tier of Alexa Guard, when Alexa is “guarding” she listens for glass break sounds and smoke and CO alarm sounds and alerts you if she hears these things.
If you upgrade to Guard Plus, then she listens for activity sounds (such as what you’re describing) and also has some cool deterrence features like dog barking sounds.
