> What person would ever want this "feature"?

I've been waiting for years for a feature like this. Seriously. My wife let our son play with her phone, so when I call her on my way home, she never picks it up.

It got to a point that sometimes I have to log in into her account and activate "Lost my iPhone", so it rings at full volume. More recently I bought an Yi camera that has an intercom functionality by default, but it's clunky, app is not very friendly, I need to scream for people to hear me, etc.

Having a decent intercom functionality (and bonus points for having with video too) would be a dream come true in our household.

Just wondering on the interoperability with other regular Android and iOS devices...

I feel like there are multiple problems in your situation that need to be fixed. If you cannot contact your wife in an emergency there is a problem (setting off the alarm might not be viable in an emergency). Why not give your son either his own phone, a tablet, or an old phone of yours? Or why would your wife allow the volume to be off when your son is using her phone? If your wife is not at the location of the device when you "drop-in" this still won't fix your problem.
