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.
In which case, an app on a phone is still much easier. Plenty of privacy-respecting apps out there that handle wake words, STT, and IFTTT actions. Just seems a much easier route than trying to shoehorn it via HA when that’s not even it’s general use-case.
