To me, Voice is the coolest part of the smart home. It gives it personality. It's something not just anyone has and helps your house stand apart from the pack. I use the [Amazon Polly TTS](https://home-assistant.io/components/tts/) component since it sounds the closest to Alexa. This gives a seemless transition from Alexa to Home Assistant responding. Most think it is just one system. The mixer allows TTS to mix right in over Music. The TP-Link Outlet is used to turn off the Mixer and AMP when we do not need it. It's a great inexpensive solution.</br>
Handy Automations:
* Turn off all the voice devices when we are not home or in bed.
* All voice notifications are pushed though a speech engine. Random words and sentances are used to give the house some personality.
* Voice announcements whenever someone comes home.
* Voice notifications for all sorts of things related to the house. (Temps, presence, doors open, windows open, garage door statuses, sunset.)
Once you can teach your house to talk, you just keep expanding on it's vocabulary. It's addicting. :)
