It happens to us all to have good ideas but unfortunately we don't always have the time or the ability to realize them...

Instead of these ideas getting lost or dying we can share them and maybe they will be heard by someone in the free software community who is in need of inspiration but has the time and ability to realize them. 🤞

You can also share your idea and ask if people in the community are interested in helping you make it happen.

Smoke alarm with voice (self.fosi)

An idea that I had, but not motivated enough to make.

A smart smoke alarm that opens the door and calls your pet with your recorded voice to go outside. Smart so that it can be set to only go off when you're away (I don't want my dogs running out every time I screw up in the kitchen.)

That might not be super difficult if you were able to train a smart assistant what a fire/smoke/CO detector sounded like. When >3 chirps are detected play myvoice.wav. Even easier if you could hardwire the circuit in the detector to the speaker. Sounds totally doable with a RaspberryPi or similar.

Or a smoke detector that opens the door and makes barking noises outside, so the human can find their way out.
