I use "Alexa, turn on the Alarm" where "Alarm" is a virtual device. There is an event that is keyed off this event to arm the system.HS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4

Newbie question: How did you accomplish this? There is obviously so much I have to learn here. My setup: Leviton Omni Pro II, Homeseer Zee, brand new, and Amazon Echo. Overall goal: HA and security commands via voice (Alexa)
Then do the following steps:
Create a device by clicking the Green '+' sign
Name it 'Alarm' and call it 'Alarm' in Voice Command field
Tick the 'Voice Command' checkbox
Click Done
At this point, you have created a HS Virtual Device that you can turn on and off.
Next, create 2 events - one that arms your system, then one that disarms the system - both are triggered by that Virtual Device changing:
Now, HS is ready. You'll need to bridge your system to Alexa using the Alexa app and discovering your devices.
Once they are discovered and you see your 'Alarm' device - try it out.
Leviton put together a great doc on how to configure HS and my plugin for use with the OMNI - check it out: http://communities.leviton.com/docs/DOC-5146
Hope this helps.

I am connected to the Omni panel, and devices are enumerated. I don't know where or how to arm/disarm from the HS screen. Thanks.

Now, in HS, you'll see your area - you can arm/disarm from here:

I would follow that Leviton link I posted and make sure you follow the 'Configuring Alexa' section. That will make sure you have the correct skill loaded.HS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4

I really don’t want to run a PC for this if I don’t need to.
