I’m about to try some custom wake words, I can think of these so far:

  • Hey Assistant
  • Hey GlaDOS
  • Hey Skynet
  • Hey Tardis
  • R2-D2
  • CPU
  • Computer
  • Operator

I’ll use them for a while and see which one I like best.

What wake word are you using? Do you have some other cool ideas?

    I don’t use any home assistant technology but I feel like yelling “Hail Satan!” into an empty room and getting a response would be fun

      This is exactly what I was looking for thanks. I’m not migrating to HA voice just yet, but when I do, you can be damn sure that “Hail Satan” will be the wake word.

    When I had a Moto X way back when, I used “Would you kindly” as the wake word.

    I miss that phone, and specifically the custom wake word functionality. Well, that and the wooden back.

    thinkimg about this again - maybe something passive-aggressive would be nice.

    ‘someone should turn the lights on’ ‘maybe someone could start the vacuum cleaner’

    “hello Mr computer” from star trek tos movie.

    However I’m immature so I probably would go with “hey bitch” but probably would get my partner confused of who I’m talking too.

    Most likely would be “hey micro-brain” or “hey micro-slave” . The micro part is probably enough for my partner to know it’s not them too.

    SEARLE: Icarus. ICARUS [OVER COMMUNICATOR]: Yes, Dr. Searle? Please re-filter the Observation Room portal. ICARUS: Filter up or down, Dr. Searle? Down. Oh, my. Icarus, how close is this to full brightness? ICARUS: At this distance of 36 million miles… …you are observing the sun at 2 percent of full brightness. Two percent? Can you show me 4 percent?

    Pardon my ignorance. If I want to replace my Echo dots at home, can I make some kind of like, home made ones? I like having them for light control and music etc. but. After having them a few years they certainly have limits and privacy disadvantages. I have all hue lights at home myself. The echos just act as interfaces. Nobody in the family really uses the web interface much for light control. It’s usually voice. Can I have my cake and eat it to? How? Raspberry pi?
