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?

Would you kindly?
I can’t get decent voice recognition to work. So no wakeword until I can get a match in the first 3 tries of talking.
I maintain a list for my as-yet-unimplemented setup. Mainly fictional butlers, housekeepers, secretaries, assistants, henchmen, computers, mascot characters, and robots:
Woodhouse, Jeeves, Igor, Igor, Meadows, Duckworth, Kato, Wadsworth, Lurch, Passepartout, Riff-Raff, Giovanni, Jarvis, Alfred, Hayate, Daphne, Effie, Della, Janine, Isabelle, Cheryl, Carol, Smithers, Hastings, Baldrick, Rocksteady, Bebop, Renfield, Reinhart, Hamegg, Meeseeks, Muttley, Smee, GIFfany, Pinoco, Agnew, Pokota, Ryo-Ohki, Luna, Artemis, Kyubey, Haro, Boothby, HAL, SAL, Friday, Edith, Peerssa, Tima, Multivac, Clippy, Asshole, Dipshit, Bitch, Dickwad, Fuckhead, Satan, Sweetie, Eddie, Marvin, Rosie, Grovel, Kilroy, Gort, Conky, Holly, Ziggy, Joshua, Balthazar, Caspar, Melchior, Karen, Nanmo, Bournemouth, Tachikoma, Kryten, Sumomo, Melchizedek, Agimus, Peanut Hamper, Badgey, Goodgey, Logic-y, MPU, and Flexo.
I’m leaning toward Meadows.
Great list!
(Winston is missing, but I guess he’s covered as Jeeves)
put ‘drumknot’ and ‘willikins’ on that list
Tachikoma-kun!
“COMPUTER, TURN OFF THAT NOISE” is obligatory, i feel
How about Hal
Might be too short, but Hey Hal should work. Great addition
“hello Mr computer” from star trek tos movie.
However I’m immature so I probably would go with “hey bitch” but probably would get my partner confused of who I’m talking too.
Most likely would be “hey micro-brain” or “hey micro-slave” . The micro part is probably enough for my partner to know it’s not them too.
‘Eeeey!’ or ‘Alter’ - ‘Alter, mach mal licht an’
Pardon my ignorance. If I want to replace my Echo dots at home, can I make some kind of like, home made ones? I like having them for light control and music etc. but. After having them a few years they certainly have limits and privacy disadvantages. I have all hue lights at home myself. The echos just act as interfaces. Nobody in the family really uses the web interface much for light control. It’s usually voice. Can I have my cake and eat it to? How? Raspberry pi?
I really hope somebody finds a way to upload custom firmware to Google or Alexa speakers. I like the hardware and the sound and I know I will not be able to build something as nice myself…
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 🤩
thinkimg about this again - maybe something passive-aggressive would be nice.
‘someone should turn the lights on’ ‘maybe someone could start the vacuum cleaner’

“Marco, Arco…”
“Polo, Pilot.”
Arco is gonna be the name of my bike, if I ever finish building it, and I was thinking about setting it up with a Pi and some voice assistant integration (don’t ask me how. One thing at a time).
Pilot has some weird disassociative /existential fuckery involved in it.

Is there a syllable requirement? While I never directly experienced the fiasco that was Bixby, I’m amused by the “Bixby Button” on my new iPhone, so: Bixby
