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
Yeah, but you should use something that you don’t use in every day life ;P
"Satan, Play Emperor on the living room stereo"
As a Satanist you have my vote!
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.
thinkimg about this again - maybe something passive-aggressive would be nice.
'someone should turn the lights on' 'maybe someone could start the vacuum cleaner'
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 miss the Moto X. I've been known to nerdily use "prepare for voice command".
I want to try 'yo mother f****er'
I’d go with “bitch, please”
When I lived with a guy who had loads of home automation, his wake word was “Hey Fuckhead!”
'Eeeey!' or 'Alter' - 'Alter, mach mal licht an'
"Janet?"
How about "I say"…makes all your commands sound very posh.
Central Scrutinizer, play Joe's Garage on the living room stereo
“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.
I'll definitely go for "hey Johnny" or just Johnny. Based on the self taken name of Number 5 from Short Circuit .
Is there a syllable requirement? While I never directly experienced the fiasco that was Bixby, I’m amused by the “Bixby Button” on my new iPhone, so: Bixby
"Jarvis"
