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?
You must log in or register to comment.
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
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.
“Satan, Play Emperor on the living room stereo”
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”.
‘Eeeey!’ or ‘Alter’ - ‘Alter, mach mal licht an’
How about “I say”…makes all your commands sound very posh.
Or very Foghorn Leghorn.
thinkimg about this again - maybe something passive-aggressive would be nice.
‘someone should turn the lights on’ ‘maybe someone could start the vacuum cleaner’
“Jarvis”
I maintain a list for my as-yet-unimplemented setup. Mainly fictional butlers, housekeepers, secretaries, assistants, henchmen, computers, mascot characters, and robots:
Woodhouse, Jeeves, Igor, Igor, Meadows, Duckworth, Kato, Wadsworth, Lurch, Passepartout, Riff-Raff, Giovanni, Jarvis, Alfred, Hayate, Daphne, Effie, Della, Janine, Isabelle, Cheryl, Carol, Smithers, Hastings, Baldrick, Rocksteady, Bebop, Renfield, Reinhart, Hamegg, Meeseeks, Muttley, Smee, GIFfany, Pinoco, Agnew, Pokota, Ryo-Ohki, Luna, Artemis, Kyubey, Haro, Boothby, HAL, SAL, Friday, Edith, Peerssa, Tima, Multivac, Clippy, Asshole, Dipshit, Bitch, Dickwad, Fuckhead, Satan, Sweetie, Eddie, Marvin, Rosie, Grovel, Kilroy, Gort, Conky, Holly, Ziggy, Joshua, Balthazar, Caspar, Melchior, Karen, Nanmo, Bournemouth, Tachikoma, Kryten, Sumomo, Melchizedek, Agimus, Peanut Hamper, Badgey, Goodgey, Logic-y, MPU, and Flexo.
I’m leaning toward Meadows.
Great list!
(Winston is missing, but I guess he’s covered as Jeeves)
Tachikoma-kun!
put ‘drumknot’ and ‘willikins’ on that list
I want to try ‘yo mother f****er’
When I lived with a guy who had loads of home automation, his wake word was “Hey Fuckhead!”
I’d go with “bitch, please”
How about Hal
Might be too short, but Hey Hal should work. Great addition
Would you kindly?
“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?
