Welcome to the HushAlexa wiki!

HushAlexa is a very tiny workaround to Amazon alexa's very irritating and annoying announcer - "Now playing from device XYZ@$". Alexa plays this when there has been no sound input to it in a 10 minute window. It has something to do with Bluetooth and low energy modes and stuff.

In essence this code plays an empty sound that lasts about 1s, every 5 minutes. I developed this fix after being frustrated and with the knowledge that Amazon doesn't give a damn what we think about this "feature". Now this fix only works for Computers as of now, so if you have the same issue with a mobile device, well I hope someone here on the internet can help you.
