Describe Your Problem: When using Siri I can set the alarm to away when I say Siri arm home alarm. However, I cannot figure out how to use Siri to set the alarm to Home.

Thank you!

This is a HomeKit limitation...lots of Reddit threads on this (i.e. https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeKit/comments/spnvw1/need_help_figuring_out_the_siri_commands_for_home/). You may have more luck if you name your alarm something like "Security System" to disambiguate with setting timers/alarms. Personally, I use scenes. For example, my Good Night scene sets the alarm to Home and turns off all the lights. Then just say "Siri, good night"
