Techniques for broadcasting user indications are provided. An example system includes a transmitter device that does not include a user interface display or verbal audio capabilities, that is configured to: detect an event and broadcast a signal including one or more of an alphanumeric string or a binary encoded message associated with the detected event as a unidirectional message via a first protocol that is receivable by a plurality of receiver devices, and a receiver device that includes a user interface comprising one or more of a user interface display or verbal audio capabilities, the receiver device being configured to: receive the broadcasted signal from the transmitter device, analyze the signal to identify the event associated with the signal; and generate a notification associated with the event via the user interface, without transmitting, via the first protocol, a response signal that is receivable and interpretable by the transmitter device.
