Hello everyone!
I would like to help a friend and make his life a bit easier. He is suffering the same disease as prof. Hawking
did. By now, he has difficulties to move fingers and control TV.
My idea is to make a voice controlled remote from Arduino. I found ELECHOUSE Voice Recognition Module V3 to use. Seven voice commands can be trained to it (he does not speak English), that must be enough.
TV set: ON OFF
Volume: + -
Channel: UP DOWN
He has a 5 years old SAMSUNG TV (UE40F6320AW) with remote (AA59-00793A). I found the SAMSUNG IR codes already. I have an ESP32 Dev kit waiting to be utilised.
The plan is to put it into the smallest box, hanging in his neck. Upward a mic forward an IR led. As he says a voice command the IR could control the TV. Once it works, several other home automation devices can be added to be controlled with Bluetooth.
I would appreciate any proposal, sample code, description as I am still a beginner.
Thanks in advance,
Tamas
