Arduino Home Controller skil let you control internet connected devices like :
- Lights On/Off (room, kitchen, garage, living room). - Temperature sensor to scan home temperature. - Humidity sensor to scan home humidity. - Webcam to take a home security photo and sent it by email. (This email address is configured by you in Arduino firmware, read later**). - Buzzer alarm to alert some events.
The first time when you install and enable this skill you need provide a link to your Amazon(c) account. It's needed to identify the messages that skill send to particular device connected to PubNub(c) Mqtt broker**.
We uses PubNub(c) site to manipulate all messages send by Alexa with Lambda function help.
You need and Arduino Yun configured with a firmware software that handle all messages**.
You will use hardware like: - Four channel relay to activate Lights - DHT11 Humidity and Temperature Sensor - Usb Webcam - Alarm buzzer
** Please see: https://www.hackster.io/jose-cruz/arduino-home-controller-activated-by-alexa-1a5fbc for a complete Arduino Yun install, config and controller electronic schematic and PubNub(c) site config.
To use Arduino Home Controller skill, try saying:
Lights control: ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn room light on" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn room light off" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn kitchen light on" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn kitchen light off" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn garage light on" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn garage light off" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn living room light on" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn living room light off"
Alarm control: ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn alarm on" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to turn alarm off"
Scan Temperature and Humidity: ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to read temperature" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to read humidity"
Take a security photo: ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home to take a photo"
About and Help ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home about" ==> "Alexa, ask arduino home help"
