Hello Home Assistant Community,
I am proposing a feature to integrate a physical handclap as a wake word for triggering voice-controlled actions. This would be an way to activate Home Assistant without using a traditional spoken command, providing an alternative.
Potential Benefits:
Convenience: More fun, and allows for quick and easy activation without needing to speak.
Implementation Consideration:
The system would need to distinguish between the sound of a clap and other similar noises to prevent unintended activations. This might require analysis of the clap’s acoustic signature.
Integration could potentially utilize existing microphone setups without the need for additional hardware.
I believe this feature would make Home Assistant even more versatile and user-friendly. I would love to hear thoughts from the community and the developers on this idea. If you also find this feature valuable, please show your support!
Thank you for considering this proposal.
