I basically have my whole system designed and mostly bench tested. The only thing left is voice announcements. I floated the voice/tone announcements by the wife and got the 'are you kidding me' look. Need to keep the WAF high and I don't want to make it complicated...
1) Do you like having a 'who's called list read to you'?
2) Do you like having a 'who's emailed list read to you?'
3) Did you replace the doorbell chime?
4) How does an occupant control volume of the announcements?
5) Do you like hearing that you have mail, or that 3 people came to your door?
6) Do you let the phone ring or do you let it use CID to tell you who is calling?
7) What happens if you didn't hear/understand the announcement how do you say 'beg your pardon'? I'm not planning on having touch screens so my only easy choice is to have UPB buttons handle this...
8) Is the maintenance a pain on this stuff (who gets named on caller ID, syncing up email accounts etc)
9) How do you determine where the announcements are made? Are time of day filters required? Is it a problem when announcments are made throughout the house? Speakers will be torn out of the wall in about 30 seconds if I wake the baby
So those with real world experience let me what what I missed and let me know if you'd include voice announcements again...
