I just realized that now that I have set up an Echo, random people could trigger events by saying "Alexa, tell homeseer to......". This could include an intruder turning off an alarm during a burglary.
One workaround is to put all sorts of weird characters in event names, so "Disarm Alarm" could be renamed "Di$arm @l@rm" which presumably Alexa would not recognize, but I could still find and understand.
I'm sure users of this board have thought of other methods that keep usefulness high, but don't open up obvious security holes. Please share!
