Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Emergency call system? echo dot

[Alan O'Hashi (adoecos]

All - We have experimented with the Amazon echo dot. It works as a way to 
connect people. We haven’t scaled it up due to lack of interest, though. 
Yesterday, a friend in upstate New York lost her phone. She asked Alexa to 
call. The echo dot went off in the house where Diana was, as well as in my 
office in the common house. We were able to solve her problem. Not really a “I 
fell down and can’t get up” emergency, but definitely a proof of concept. 
(Reading this back, it will not be understandable to anyone who doesn’t use a 
“smart speaker.”)


Thx
