Any apps to find your phone if it's on mute? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

My wife and I regularly misplace our phones in the house and we also keep them on mute like 99% of the time.

Are there any apps that allow us to ping the other ones phone audibly despite it being on mute?

One is a oneplus 6t the other a s23 ultra if that makes a difference

EDIT: I found a solution i like; Homeassistant with TTS Notifications. Of couse you can still list some apps and solutions for others to find, but i am happy now!

I assume I'd have to create a task that turns up the volume first then. But that should work!

I'll use this approach if I don't find anything else that just works and does this one thing

Consider MacroDroid, which is free if you use no more than 5 macros.
