Hello all
New to the forums and to arduino.as a whole.
I've been wanting to dip my toes into the world.of arduino for a while now and been thinking of a project to
Work towards.
My goal woukd be to create a home automation system with voice control.
To start with I'd like to use controllable plug and light sockets (similar to hue) then add wireless motion/temp sensors and the like as I go along.
Ideally I'd like to be abke to control by voice commands.
"trigger word" "turn on kitchen light" " dim bedroom light to 50%" "turn on TV" etc
I'm doing a lot of reading and research into this and finding.many different approaches and issues/barriers. What I'm not a 100% sure on is if this is even currently achievable. And what might be the best path/s to head down if it is.
I really like the movi shield and think it could fit my needs if I can integrate all the other parts.
I understand things like Google home and alexa are starting to do these things. So may opt for them in the future. But ideally I'd like to give it a go myself and the cost of all these components become to much.
It's more a long term project to build on. learn how to achieve it.
Can anyone offer any feedback, advice or tips/ hints etc. Would have much appreciated.
