Murphy Bark Monitor

Option 1 — IFTTT Routine:
1. Create an IFTTT applet with a Webhooks trigger ("bark_detected").
2. Set the action to "Google Assistant — Play audio on speaker."
3. Paste your IFTTT webhook URL above.
4. On bark detection, the webhook fires and your Google Home plays the audio.

Option 2 — Home Assistant:
1. Add your Google Home to Home Assistant via the Google Cast integration.
2. Create an automation triggered by a webhook.
3. Action: media_player.play_media on your Google Home entity.
4. Use the webhook URL http://homeassistant.local:8123/api/webhook/bark_detected.

Option 3 — Direct Chromecast (node-castv2):

// Requires a local relay server
const Client = require('castv2-client').Client;
const DefaultMediaReceiver = require('castv2-client').DefaultMediaReceiver;
const client = new Client();
client.connect('GOOGLE_HOME_IP', () => {
  client.launch(DefaultMediaReceiver, (err, player) => {
    player.load({ contentId: 'https://your-host/calm.mp3',
      contentType: 'audio/mpeg', streamType: 'BUFFERED' });
  });
});

Option 1 — IFTTT + Alexa Routine:
1. Create an IFTTT applet: Webhooks trigger → Alexa action.
2. Use "Alexa — Play audio notification" as the action.
3. Paste your webhook URL in the field above.

Option 2 — Alexa Routine + Virtual Sensor:
1. In the Alexa app, create a Routine triggered by a smart home sensor.
2. Use a virtual device (via Home Assistant or Hubitat) as the trigger.
3. Routine action: Play a specific sound/skill on chosen Echo device.
4. Webhook toggles the virtual sensor, which fires the Alexa Routine.

Option 3 — Alexa Notify Me Skill:

// Use the "Notify Me" Alexa skill
// POST to: https://api.notifymyecho.com/v1/NotifyMe
{
  "notification": "Bark detected at The Murphy",
  "accessCode": "YOUR_ACCESS_CODE"
}
