You can even do some very low level security that way right? Like "Alexa tell me if you hear a loud noise in the basement while I'm at work"

This could be extremely useful:

"Alexa, if you hear my wife and the neighbor having sex, file divorce paperwork, and get me on the next flight to Barbados."

If you can figure out how to pipe commands together, this is maybe not impossible.

<Some pattern recognition app> | <docusign> | <priceline app>

The trick is getting your neighbor to call your wife Alexa, to trigger the Dot to wake up and listen.
