Roomhail: Home Intercom Tablet

Call the kids down for dinner without shouting. Roomhail turns the tablets around your home into an intercom: one big button announces to every room, or pick a room and talk. It runs inside a PerliSmart household; set that up first. Next to it is the list of the household's rooms, so you can see which tablets have checked in today. Good to know: Roomhail is a companion app. A tablet joins your PerliSmart household on your own Wi-Fi or by scanning a pairing code from a tablet that is already set up; until then it shows the clock and little else. WHAT IT DOES - Opens on the intercom, not a generic assistant screen. - Announce to every room at once, or choose which rooms hear you. - Sound with optional video, so a room can see who is calling. - A room list of the tablets that joined your household, and when they were last seen. - Your own IP cameras, live, including talk-back on cameras that support audio. - Shared timers, calendar, shopping list and notes are one tap away. THE MICROPHONE - The wake word "Okay Pearl" is spotted on the device. That audio never leaves it. - Only after the wake word, or a tap, does a listening window open. By default the audio of that one command goes over an encrypted connection to the PerliSmart service to be turned into text; a setting recognises speech on the device instead. - While the microphone is open a notification says so, and it cannot be swiped away. - Mute releases the microphone completely. Free sign-in keeps your purchases and settings on every device. WHAT IT COSTS Roomhail is free with ads; a one-time Remove ads purchase turns them off. PRIVACY - No crash-reporting SDK. - No contacts and no location. Install Roomhail on a spare tablet and use it as a home intercom.
