Can unlock smart locks with the app? #116

Hi, thanks very much for your work!

I have got lock state and locking working with my garage door. I saw in your comment here https://github.com/hardillb/node-red-contrib-alexa-home-skill/issues/91#issuecomment-729222769 that you said "You can not unlock the device via voice as it is not secure".

I think since then Amazon have changed things so that you cannot unlock via the app unless you enable it, which seems bizarre.

This article has examples of the settings that presumably need to be coded into the server side.

I'm guessing this will be too much effort, but I thought I would ask in case I'm wrong!

Either way, many thanks again!

B.

Unlocking will not be supported.
