Home Automation (Alexa)

Simon,

There's a new product out:

I've been looking into Home Automation and stumbled across this project on Kickstarter which caught me eye, Its aim is to replace old hard wired security panels/systems as well as integrating with a Samsung Smartthings hub (which is on offer in Currys at mo for £50)

I thought it looks pretty good and as its open source its continually being developed to work with more home automation hubs.

You can either buy the board direct from them or like me buy a couple of NodeMCU ESP8266 dev boards for <£10 which allows you to connect up all your existing internal and external sensors (6 on each board)

Yeah I’ve seen that, I assume it’s good for someone who doesn’t have the Alexa Dot or the Sonos speakers already (can’t see a difference between the Play:1 and the SONOS One other than the Alexa but they are both the same price)

I was leaning towards Alexa due to the fact it looks like SONOS are onboard at a strategic level

Just waiting for an internet enabled robot wanking hand, and I'm ordering one.

"Alexa, wank me off"

"Wanking off"

"Alexa, gentle sweetheart"

"Slowing rhythm"

"Alexa, order more man sized tissues"

"Tissues added to grocery order"

"Alexa, order more man sized tissues"

You wish.

You joke, but it won't be long (bit like yourself).

Better to order tissues, Vaseline and a Hannah Montana DVD and listen out for the disgust in Alexa's reply.
