I’m not quite sure on the use for this yet but I’m sure there is some application, perhaps if an alarm goes off your house can call you so you can listen in???

Anyway, using my In-Line TTS Audio Interupter (using a Raspberry Pi) project and a simple script I am now able to get my Echo to call me :stuck_out_tongue:

call_adam:
  alias: "Call Adam"
  sequence:
    - service: switch.turn_on
      entity_id: switch.echo_amplifier
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: "tts"
        payload: "Alexa. Call Adam"
    - delay:
        seconds: 9
    - service: mqtt.publish
      data:
        topic: "tts"
        payload: "Yes"

Is their an api for drop in? That is now released and might be the holy grail of Alexa announcements!
