* Each room is outfitted with a cheap speaker/microphone device (the ''Drone'') that relays instructions to a smarter device (the ''Queen''), connected to the Smartphone. Each Drone can be used as a voice interface for the smartphone.
* Speech Recognition and Text To Speech can be handled either by the Queen or , by the Smartphone, by a third-party service to be determined. This can even be changed post-launchby an upgrade and/or a preference change.
* An application running on the Smartphone handles telephony and contacts, ensures synchronization of data between the phone and the Queen. Longer-term, this application serves to interact with specific applications on the SmartPhone.
* A daemon running on the Queen handles routing of telephony to the appropriate Drone. Longer-term, this daemon will handle connection with other devices (using FoxLink), as well as services that require Always On support (using Thinkerbell or a variant thereof).
* In a house with more than one Queen, each Drone can be paired with one Queen or more.
* For the MVP, this proposal targets only recent Android Smartphones.
