Is there a way to activate Alexa guard other then from the app, truthfully id like to ask my google home to “turn on Alexa guard” (I only have 1 echo dot, but 5 google homes), is there an Alexa tts I can use or a way of connecting to the alexa api?
The Alexa media player can use tts to trigger Alexa routines.

Looks like this might work, thank you.

Great!
I’m not familiar with Alexa Guard so I did not know if it would work for you.
I used a couple of Alexa routines to control an Amazon Plug through HA.

Looks like someone is working on it:
I suspect that is for Nabucasa? What I suggested does not require that.
Yes, but there is not currently a routine that sets off Alexa guard, I have not tried it myself but there’s a issue on the GitHub of the component you linked that said it doesn’t work.
You should be able to setup an alexa routine & see if you can trigger it by voice to set off Alexa Guard.
Routines are automations set up by the individual user.
