Claim 27:
28. A tangible, non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising program instructions that are executable by at least one processor to configure at least one first network device to:
receive, via a network interface, a first signal, wherein the first signal is representative of an utterance detected via a microphone of a second network device;
determine a second signal based on the first signal; and
after receipt of the first signal corresponding to the first signal, cause a third network device to change an operating state, wherein the program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the third network device to change the operating state comprise program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to:
send, to the third network device via the network interface, the second signal; and

after sending the second signal, cause the second network device to output, via an audio transducer of the second network device, audio corresponding to a third signal, wherein the program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the second network device to output the audio associated with the third signal comprise program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor to:
send, via the network interface, the third signal to the second network device.
