About 13 years ago is started with a self learning, voice controlled home automation system.
While very pleased with it in the beginning the system is now showing it's downside.
When i started with this system i could just say something like this "Please could you turn on the television and switch it to the Discovery channel' and it just happened. If is ask the same question today it won't even respond. It just stays at The Bold and th Beautiful or what ever is on.
The only way i can get it to respond is to use a command like ' Please Dear! Put on Discovery Channel and you can get that 144th pair of shoes!" :D

Posted just for no reason. I am happely married :)

It could also be caused by a memory leak :)

Replacing the batteries makes the system even less responsive...

Actually it would be a money leak in this case.

That's not possible either. It's the last model of the serie and no upgrades available.
Besides that i am quiet fond of this one.

I would sell it or destroy it before it's to late.
