it's really damn nice to simply say "Turn Off Hallway Light"

Can you use a custom wake word? The only reason why I'm still using Alexa is for the "computer" wake word.

HA doesn't have "Wake Word" yet. It supposed to be coming before the end of the year. Right now you have to PTT (Push To Talk) to make it listen and for the privacy minded this is actually better than an always listening device.

Still, a lot of people want WW support and it is on the road map.
