1. A method comprising:
accessing, at an audio firewall system, first audio data including at least a request and a wake word generated with a microphone of the audio firewall system;
determining whether the first audio data is directed at a local security system or a server by determining whether the first audio data identifies a local device that is locally connected to the local security system; and
in response to determining that the first audio data is directed at the server, and not at the local security system, converting a text of the first audio data including the request and the wake word to second audio data, and providing the second audio data to the server.
