When in trouble, shout out… ALEXA TURN EMERGENCY ON …Īlarm goes off downstairs, and I get an app notification and an SMS.īoth of these, like all Alexa skills, will only work when your Internet is working, though. Finally gave the virtual switch a couple aliases in the Echo app (call john, trouble, emergency) and now… I use the switch to play the “Alarm” sound using the Sonos Smart App, and for voice control I use the Echo Hue emulator to trick the Echo into finding the switch. I installed a device with that custom type for the virtual panic mode switch. As a guard it only sends messages at most once a minute (because, in testing, I somehow got it to fire off 100 or so - THAT was fun) Next, I modified phrase switch thing (because it was a fine starting point) Can someone modify the big switch app to call Hello Home Phrases? to optionally run phrases, and allow for notification and SMS on both on or off events for a switch. That means you can always “turn it on” - since it will always do something in any case - turn it on 100 times and it will generate On/Off/On/Off events. I made a virtual switch which doesn’t do anything except toggle when you turn it off or on. All working good, except for the “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” case - which is where the Echo comes in.
Set up 911 panic button Pc#
Alert just sets off an alert sound in another room (using Kobi running on a pc as the “speaker”)Īnywhoo. Panic mode turns on lights & alarms, and sends notifications. Some of the basic components are a number of the minimotes where a button is dedicated to setting a hello home action (panic on press, alert when held) I’ve been working on a bunch of device types and smart apps to enable “panic button” functionality into our home - for use whenever anyone feels the need to make noise or get help.
