I’ve been searching for a while via Ecosia, Google etc. and on Reddit but I’m struggling to find an answer.

My parents are moving together with my grandma to a new house with a little annex for my grandma. They’re planning to get Alexa’s so that my grandma can call through to the other side of the house if she falls over or needs help. I would love for them not to end up giving every conversation they ever have to Amazon’s servers… Is there any way to replicate this functionality in Home Assistant (i.e. call between satellites across the network)? If I can figure this out I’ll build a self-hosted setup for them.

    I haven’t played around with voice assistant but I remember seeing something to setup automatons based on keywords. You can use that to send an alert to family members mobiles.

    I haven’t found any easy to use voice calling integration yet. I am also looking for something like this myself to talk to family members on a different floor to replace traditional calling.
