Abstract: Techniques for monitoring an audio stream for triggering events are disclosed, where the triggering events may include a particular sound identified in the audio stream. In addition, the techniques include detecting the particular sound in the audio stream and/or providing an event notification to a user device via a network connection. A user device can request permission to initiate a two-way audio stream between the computing device and the user device. Further, the techniques may include receiving an indication to initiate the two-way audio stream with the user device. In addition, the techniques may include providing an alert that permission has been granted to initiate the two-way audio stream. Also, the device may include initiating the two-way audio stream with the user device.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for transmitting an announcement to one or more devices. In one example, a first device receives a first message that includes an announcement, the announcement associated with a voice that spoke the announcement. The first device may determine the announcement from the first message, and then identify one or more devices for receiving the announcement. The one or more devices may have a particular device type of a plurality of different device types comprising at least a mobile device. The first device may then transmit a second message to the one or more devices for presentation of the announcement by the one or more devices.

The first device may determine the announcement from the first message, and then identify one or more devices for receiving the announcement. The one or more devices may have a particular device type of a plurality of different device types comprising at least a mobile device. The first device may determine a network path through which a second message is transmitted based at least in part on the location of a second device. In accordance with a determination that the second device is located within a local area network associated with a home environment, the first device transmits the second message over the local area network. In accordance with a determination that the second device is located away from a local area network associated with a home environment, the first device transmits the second message over the wide area network.
