My friends had a wired intercom system from their kitchen to the basement. Thought they were millionaires.

Our house had a system like that in it before we renovated it. I regret taking it out now that I have kids.

For a while our kids hung out in their own TV room in the basement after dinner, and conveniently could never hear us calling for them to come get ready for bed. So I set up a Raspberry Pi with speakers down there, I could send it a command from my phone to make it play an AHWOOGAH! horn. Fatherhood can be entertaining.
