I’m looking for a better, more private solution to an intercom I have between the house and my barn. I have Ethernet run out there, and I currently use the “drop-in” feature on some Amazon echo devices. I’m looking to get away from the Amazon devices entirely (maybe implementing the pine speaker they announced?)
I don’t have a lot of requirements, though VoIP would be preferred over a radio style, since it’s a metal barn and blocks a lot of signals. I’m good with some self hosted solution, and ideally there’s a dedicated device, as I don’t want to use my phone or computer for it all the time. I’m probably missing some obvious solution, but figured I’d try to get some ideas together.
Thoughts?
Aiphone works in the sense, but if you’re looking for more of an IP phone then yeah, Aiphone is more for entry systems/gates entry areas where you need to let people in.
They do have simple intercom systems though, simple “Ring, Talk” on both ends if thats what you wanted. Should work via network as well, and can be entirely self contained if thags your prefered way of doing things.
