Once the beam skill is enabled as an Alexa routine, you’ll be able to use verbal commands such as:

  • “Alexa, tell beam to close the Garage” – Close an open door

  • “Alexa, tell beam to open the Garage” – Open a closed door (requires a Pin Code)

  • “Alexa, ask beam if the Garage is open” – Check if door(s) are open

Note: Alexa now requires that you provide a Pin Code any time you want to open a garage door using your voice. You must also enable the beam skill in the Alexa App before you can speak commands to beam using Alexa.
