Somehow I thought the SpeakEasy only handled a single voice message.  I'll
have to revisit the specs.  Do you pipe the output through a home intercom
system?

Is that the online text-to-speech software?

> 000 - Intruder alert!  Intruder alert!

> 001 - Police have been notified!

Are you intergrated with an alarm panel?  Do these messages play forever
until an alarm system deactivation?

> 012 - All, off, request confirmed.

Is this a message that allows enough time to countermand ALL OFF?  It's a
problem with the MUTE button on the 8-in-1 remote where someone means to
press MUTE but the remote is in X-10 mode and it turns off all the lights!

What operations are controlled by a guest flag?

Do you rotate through the above messages?  Nice touch.

What are these messages for?  Do you take actions predicated on room
occupancy or are these just status queries?

Good stuff.  I'll have to do the same.

> 043 - John - please remember to take your, pill.

This opens up another issue - compliance.  I would like to automatically
determine whether Dad's taken his regimen of pills at the right time.

> 045 - Reminder - It's fridge cleaning day.

Now if I could only get the Ocelot to clean it out, too!
