What is your custom wake word? (self.homeassistant)

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

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.
