That's all just going the long way around. Why not just have the door (or Alexa) be able to talk Bluetooth to the watch to verify that it's there?

I'd like to be personally involved in some transactions. I think this will be a major use case for smart watches and a major feature of home interfaces (phone, smartwatch, or whatever has the totp) in the future.
