Suggestion: Descriptions for sensors

Posted October 1st, 2009 by amorrow

In my perfect world, when the front door opens my system would say "Front door open." When the window in my home office opens it would say "office window open."

I work with IVR systems and I know how the cunning use of programming and a good voice worker can make disparate clips sound great. I don't know how much space is left on the keychain remote but if you could render the voices as low bitrate mp3's maybe it could even be packaged as an update to the existing system? Perhaps only syncing down the voice files that would actually be used?

In the setup application, there could be a drop down for each sensor allowing the user to select the location of each sensor? Then when batteries run low or sensors drop off the network I could hear:
"office motion sensor battery low"

Hope you like the idea!

Or possibly to simplify the effort, Allow the customer the add a comment to the Sensor number (Like D1,2,3 - W1,2,3 and M1,2,or3)

The system could then respond Door, Window, or Motion and then the number, by translating the comment. This would greatly reduce the voice work needed, and as such, simplify when an error code (Low battery) or other code needs addressing.
