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 might be interested in projects like https://openhab.org, or https://mycroft.ai

I have tinkered with mycroft in the past and it was kinda finnicky at the time, but overal a great idea(an assistant like google or alexa but privacy oriented). A colleague of mine uses openhab for everything but security(his wife objected to that lol).

For starters i'd recommend some single board computer like the a raspberrypi, a speaker and a microphone and maybe try one of these (https://www.electromaker.io/blog/article/9-best-raspberry-pi-smart-home-software-options) out yourself.

Thanks for taking the time to post about those projects. I have heard of Mycroft but not openhab. The future is bright 🤩
