I want to get mom an Alexa, for a multitude of reasons including Alexa emergency uses.
Me: "You can just say "Echo call [my name] and I will be able to hear you, and you can hear me and talk thru it.
Mom: "I don't want you to hear what I am doing down here"
Me: "No mom, I can't hear you unless you tell her to call me.
Mom: "Then they could here us too?"
Me: "Mom there is no they, it is not a person, it is a computer"
Mom "Oh it can't work unless there is a person calling"
Me: "Ok mom (pull out my phone) "Siri what is the temperature" -- "It is 82 degrees"
See mom? There is no person who is saying that, it is a computer saying that, it just looks it up for you"
Mom "So you have to put something outside so it knows"
AUUUUUUUGH
That was just the first minute... it actually took me another 5 minutes or so to get her to believe there is no person involved, it is just a computer that can understand words... just like you type on your laptop what is the temperature.. it just hears you say it.
I hope this works...
