Techniques for relaying audio messages to devices

A first device, comprising:

• a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors in communication with the memory and configured to access the memory and execute the computer-executable instructions to, at least:
• receive a first message that includes an announcement, the announcement associated with a voice that spoke the announcement;
• determine the announcement from the first message;
• identify one or more devices for receiving the announcement, the one or more devices associated with the first device, each device of the one or more devices having a particular device type of a plurality of different device types comprising at least a mobile device;
• determine a network path through which a second message is transmitted based at least in part on a location of a second device of the one or more devices;
• in accordance with a determination that the second device is located within a local area network associated with a home environment, transmit, over the local area network associated with the home environment, the second message to the second device for presentation of the announcement by the second device, the second message including the announcement;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the second device is away from the local area network associated with the home environment, transmit, over a wide area network, the second message to the second device for presentation of the announcement by the second device.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a first device, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the first device, a first message that includes an announcement, the announcement associated with a voice that spoke the announcement;
• determining, by the first device, the announcement from the first message;
• identifying, by the first device, one or more devices for receiving the announcement, the one or more devices associated with the first device, each device of the one or more devices having a particular device type of a plurality of different device types comprising at least a mobile device;
• determining, by the first device, a network path through which a second message is transmitted based at least in part on a location of a second device of the one or more devices;
• in accordance with a determination that the second device is located within a local area network associated with a home environment, transmitting, by the first device over the local area network associated with the home environment, the second message to the second device for presentation of the announcement by the second device, the second message including the announcement;
• and
• in accordance with a determination that the second device is away from the local area network associated with the home environment, transmitting, by the first device over a wide area network, the second message to the second device for presentation of the announcement by the second device.
