From Google Home® to Amazon Echo™ to our all-new Apple TV® app, the Virtual Keypad™ app is the family tree for home automation. Pair your home security system with one of these home automation technologies for even greater flexibility.
Virtual Keypad™ for Apple TV
The Virtual Keypad App for Apple TV is now available in the App Store on 4th Generation and newer Apple TVs. The app is free to download and is included for current app users. The Apple TV App is a convenient way for current Virtual Keypad App users to monitor and control several system features from their TV screen.
Simply download the App through the App Store on the Apple TV. Open the App Store, and search for "Virtual Keypad'. Once downloaded, log in using your normal Virtual Keypad App credentials.
From the Apple TV App, users can now arm and disarm their system, view their cameras (multiple cameras or a single camera full-screen), watch pre-recorded clips, and activate their Z-Wave Favorites. The App can also be linked to multiple systems.

Virtual Keypad™ for Amazon Echo™
The DMP Virtual Keypad App is now available as an Amazon Echo skill. The Virtual Keypad skill for the Amazon Echo offers a new way for you to arm your system and conveniently control Z-Wave™ devices. Below is a list of all current functions and commands:
Arming: All arming commands must start with “Alexa, tell Virtual Keypad to…” Then, say one of these phrases to select an arming type:- “arm my system home.”
- “arm my system sleep.”
- “arm my system away.”
- “arm my system all.”
- “arm my system perimeter.”
Lights: To turn Z-Wave lights on or off, say “Alexa, turn on (light name).” or “Alexa, turn off (light name).” You can also dim Z-Wave lights to any percentage by saying “Alexa, turn on (light name) to (percentage).” For example, “Alexa, turn on kitchen light to 50%.”
Locks: Z-Wave locks can be locked by saying “Alexa, lock my (lock name).”
Thermostats: To set the temperature using your Amazon Echo and a Z-Wave thermostat, say “Alexa, set my (upstairs)thermostat temperature to (degree).”
To get the new Virtual Keypad skill, download the Amazon Alexa App and login with your Amazon account information. Search for the Virtual Keypad skills and enable them - there are two available, and you will need both. Use your Virtual Keypad email address and password to login and select the system you would like to control.
