ISD1820 Voice Recording Recorder Module with Mic Sound Audio Loudspeaker New | eBay
I need a way for the CAI controller to alert us, when
things goes wrong.
It's got Email, so it can notify us, if the hot water temp gets too hot or too cold & etc. etc.
But, we don't always have our 'devices' turned on.. Or they might be on mute.
Or, we might be napping! Old folks do that now and again. So I heard..
I was just going to add a beeper in the living room, to let us know to check
our email, or look at the CAI status page, with a tablet or PC..
But, we already have a ton of things that
Beep!!
So, to make things easier for old folks to understand,
I figured a little voice that said,
"Hey! Dude and Dudette ~ read your mail, or check CAI status page!".
Or somesuch thing..
Something like I use for the stand-alone garage alarm.. It's my own voice saying:
"Attention, Attention, garage alarm has been activated".
If we wake up to that (instead of insane beeping), we don't jump up and run around thinking the house is on fire etc..
I already own a very loud Ebay
vehicle backup module. When connected to 12VDC, a nice Asian lady says,
"Warning, Warning, this vehicle is backing up! BEEP! BEEP!" (Non-stop).
I like it and plan to use that for our special,
'Things are Really Bad' alert.

So, once the Chinese holidays or over and I get the voice module,
I plan to write a PLC subroutine that checks all the temperature sensors
to see if any are out of a + & - range.
Later, I will have to add-on more code for Radon sensor input and to support connections to the security systems.
Just have to make it real good code, I don't want any false alarm emails,
while I'm on a road trip up in NH.. Or at the Grand Canyon..

What's next? An auto-dialer for the CAI?? I do carry a cell phone now...
Never mind the auto-dial.. I can Text my TracFone by using
cellNunber@txt.att.net
Just saved $22 ?
