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?

    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.

    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

    “Marco, Arco…”

    “Polo, Pilot.”

    Arco is gonna be the name of my bike, if I ever finish building it, and I was thinking about setting it up with a Pi and some voice assistant integration (don’t ask me how. One thing at a time).

    Pilot has some weird disassociative /existential fuckery involved in it.

    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?

      I really hope somebody finds a way to upload custom firmware to Google or Alexa speakers. I like the hardware and the sound and I know I will not be able to build something as nice myself…
