Claim 14:
15. A system comprising:
at least one first network device;
a network interface;
at least one processor; and
at least one non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that are executable by the at least one processor such that the at least one first network device is configured to perform functions comprising:
receiving, via the 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;
after receiving the first signal, causing a third network device to change an operating state, wherein causing the third network device to change the operating state comprises sending, to the third network device via the network interface, the second signal; and
after sending the second signal, causing the second network device to output, via an audio transducer of the second network device, audio corresponding to a third signal, wherein causing the second network device to output the audio associated with the third signal comprises:
