Not that I want any part in increasing use of always-listening devices, but can't you change the trigger word on these things?

I've been meaning to have a play with https://mycroft.ai/ but only out of interest, I don't see myself leaving it running.

For Google devices you can’t change the trigger.

Now you can mispronounce it, that’s the only leeway we get.

Not a bad option. I would much prefer asking 19th century Russian author, Nikolai Gogol, to turn on the lights.
