If only Alexa could have custom responses, that would make it perfect!



No custom response but you could do an Alexa announcement as part of the indigo action group. She would say it after saying Ok.

For an error beep I used to use "I'm tryin to think but Nothin happens"... But I never could find a good excuse to use the "I don't know...Third base".

I didn't change the boot sound too often, but at one point I used Eruption by Van Halen. :mrgreen:

Back in the day, I used HAL for boot / shutdown audio on my work pc.

Nice! My coolest sound way back was for new email... had Samuel L. Jackson's "Oh, I'm sorry, did I break your concentration?" from Pulp Fiction (gunshot included).

I would so totally do this.

First off, you should do this because you only live once and for the first time since that time you can! Oh and I did the same with my computer and I remember having all my computer icons on Mac and PC set up with HAL sensor eyes and all of that - my wallpaper was one huge HAL sensor.

Think BIGGER! Train Bosley to press the button himself! I used the combo of my Indigo camera control pages and remote lighting control to wake up my previous dog, get her to go to the window, after which she realized there were deer in the yard and she ran out to chase them off my plants.

BIGGER? Three is nothing bigger than saying to my home automation "Open the pod bay doors" until I have the ability to call Siri HAL. That aside, that's pretty funny about your dog ;).

You could also put one of those Fibaro big red button devices someplace so that when Bosley let's one go you can hit that and get that old-time "weewah-weewah" alarms, with a siren flashing...

But then again I renamed my garage door to "pod bay doors" so I can say "Hey Siri, open the pod bay doors". My wife rolls her eyes every time I tell Siri that, but in the back of my mind I'm thinking she's going to say "what do you think you are doing Dave?" - and my name isn't even Dave :shock: :shock: :shock:

The bme680 sensor does that automatically.


Yeh I’ve thought about a gas sensor, but I think our noses are much more sensitive and faster acting than anything else with this particular toxin; plus it’s fun putting in some interesting data points for Alexa’s analytic team!!

I have thought about using the BME680 in bathrooms though!

Ah, but I said that after admitting to wearing progressive lenses to fix that particular old man issue. And I didn't claim not to be an old man, only that I wasn't going to fix old man issues! :lol:
