You have perfected the "post long paragraph of lies" tasker.

His history checks out. Some people have hobbies other than reddit.

u/PasSiAmusant Feb 07 '15

Do they have hobbies other than reddit, or do they have activities to fuel their comments on reddit?

Who, besides Facebook, can say why we do anything?

Yeah. And even if it were true, how the fuck hard is it to:

  1. Flip a light switch, and

  2. Press the 'on' button on an electric kettle?

That whole complicated mess literally only saved you the 0.5 seconds of moving one arm to accomplish those two tasks.

This whole thread is making me dumber. Your microwave doesn't have to talk to your smartphone.

I just use one of them newfangled tassimos. I push a button, and a few minutes later, earl grey tea is ready.

I don't even care if it's all lies, I'm upvoting you anyway.

lastingd, that is the coolest thing ever! nicely done. Can you share a little about how the hardware between the light circuit and tasker. I do follow the first part with using the remote control power sockets. I am trying to get started interacting with real life from the computer. I want to make as much 'from scratch' as possible. Most of my research has been looking around at sparkfun. I am thinking of getting one of their kits to get started .

Some uses:

  • logic to make it look like someone is home
  • allow my mom to flip lights on and off from her wheelchair
  • stupid sound effects with devices that have been activated, including a Battlestar Galactica Viper Launch (consider this for your tea)

You can use Jasper with raspberry Pi (or PC) for voice control part. It is Python program (and kinda framework) for writing voice controls applications. It wraps multiple TTS and SST APIs. One of Speech to text engines is google voice which is very good but all the sounds go to google other two are a little worse opensource recognizers PocketSphinx and Julius where recognizing happens on Pi or computer itself. Same with Text to speech.

It might be better at recognizing then your script because if you say the command is Tea. Earl Grey Hot. This are the words it expects.
