Amazon adds long awaited intercom(broadcast) feature to its Alexa-enabled devices

Isn’t this more of an announcement feature? Intercom would imply two way, which is Drop In.

It drop in is two way? The way I read the article is you say something to Alex and it’s then broadcast around to other devices.

It is a broadcasting feature.

Yup. Tots Mcgoats

Is there currently any way we can make use of this to trigger announcements via smart things?

I’ll currently using big talker at the moment across a number of sonos speakers but I find that it’s not 100% bullet proof, playing music doesn’t always resume or it starts the track over and the announcements are out of sync across multiple speakers.

Cheers
