Can kids accidentally trigger smart home emergencies?

Yes. Kids can tell Alexa to call 911, trigger loud alarms, or unlock smart locks. Disable calling and emergency features on kid-accessible devices. Set smart locks to require a PIN that only adults know.

How do I prevent kids from controlling smart devices?

Use voice profiles so kid voices get restricted responses. Lock the smart home app with parental controls. Use PIN-protected schedules on smart plugs. Place smart speakers in common areas where you can hear interactions.
