In a bit of #HomeAssistant work yesterday I started working on some 'hourly check' scripting. Seems to work.

I wanted a gentle, low-interruption (non-cat frightening) sound to tell us the system is running and all is well with the things I have it checking.

I also needed an attention-getting, not annoying, but informative, announcement to check specific things.

The audio crafting on this has been pretty good over the past many months…

Pick something you like on https://freesound.org/

If you need something more elaborate you can put sounds together with #Audacity 🎶

…for my #HomeAssistant gentle informative sound, I went with the sound of a cooing dove/pigeon.

Cats are a bit interested, but mostly ignore it. lol

Let's see if I can attach audio effectively here.
