Toward a home automation of the Bitcoin full nodes.

Anyone of you who has a full node working there in the living room or bedroom or bathroom and doesn't want to open ssh/https/rpc/tor to check if it works can be informed from time to time with voice messages from the node itself:

"Heila' I'm still alive and validating blocks!"

Usually a machine used for bitcoin full node does not include an audio output or a network card, for this reason I suggest some devices that require only one USB port:

• https://www.amazon.com/s?k=usb+external+audio
• https://it.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-external-usb-audio.html

Text to Speech engine:

• Python (usually just installed in a Bitcoin full node machine)
• Festival OR eSpeak
• Bitcoin node with RPC and ZMQ enabled

Each of the following alerts is Text to Speech (TTS) technology that converts text into spoken audio, the content is entirely configurable.
