I'd like to able to hear a "welcome home" from my computer as I enter my home, preferably without assistance from motion sensor technology or smart home applications. The best I could come up with is using windows own trigger function to link to an .mp3 at a certain time/event, but I wanted something more accurate.

My first thought was to create a trigger event where this mp3 file is played upon windows finding my cellphone through the wireless network, but I could use some guidance in programming this (if doable)

If you have any other ideas, please share. Thank you. PS: I also have a usb bluetooth adapter that could be used for this purpose, since the range of the network probably extends well beyond the entrance.

Having both Android development and Backend development backgrounds, there's an easy idea to come in mind; develop an application that does the following:

1- Detect when your device is connected to your Wi-Fi network.

2- Make sure your device is stationary, the motion sensors aren't reading

if both are true, it'll communicate with a [localhost] server, a very simple one, that has an API to play the welcome sound you want. I suggest Node.js since it's very simple to develop and deploy.

According to this, seems like it's possible to play a sound from a node instance.

You can keep me updated, since this is interesting!

I'll leave this as is since the question has been down-rated twice. My 1st post no less, much obliged; and last one I'm sure. Happy holidays.
