Touch screen Intercom function

[dipskhatri]

Is it recommended to use the touch screens intercom as monitors? i.e. so I can hear (not see) what is going on, on the 1^st floor landing area in my house when we have gone to sleep as that’s where our kids rooms are and the Mrs likes to know in case they wake up in the middle of the night or calling for us, as we have a wireless touchscreen in our room.

I used it like that for a while and working well, but now I cant seem to call in to the first floor (from my room or the ground floor) it just won’t accept it.  First I thought it’s the touch screen itself, but I can select rooms turn things on and off, we just cant get the intercom to work anymore for that floor.  I have re-started it few times and still the same, is there anything else I can try to get it work again?

fwiw, we have small kids in our house and use the Alexa baby crying feature connected to our c4.  See this: https://www.komando.com/technology/alexa-sound-detection/798151/  The alexa does a great job hearing baby/kids crying. I've got it setup to call out to ifttt... which then does an api push to c4 and I can take action based off that. It works flawlessly. For example, baby cries and it starts showing the crib camera on the t3/t4s in the house. Actions are endless once you get the notification into c4.

I know this doesn't answer your original question but throwing this out as an alternative. Of course, for even more simplicity, you could use a couple alexas with routines and get notified alexa to alexa setup in a few minutes.
