Welcome.

This is a very condensed post about what I created at Cal Hacks. If you want a detailed write up, see here.

In short, I went to CalHacks 2014 and made a home automation project that is controlled via voice commands to a Moto 360. The full path is as follows: Voice Command (Moto 360) -> AutoVoice -> Tasker -> HTTP POST -> Intel Edison -> Wit.Ai -> Intel Edison -> hardware relay -> lamp

Flow of the Process

Prerequisites:

  1. Rooted Android device
  2. xposed, with Google now API (needs to be v1.4), plus AutoVoice and Tasker, installed in that order.
  3. Android Wear device
  4. Intel Edison, with a hardware relay plugged in to port 4.

Steps:

  1. Clone my repo and upload it to a WiFI enabled Intel Edison
  2. Change to the directory and run npm install; node main.js
  3. Open Tasker, and add a new profile "AutoVoice Recognized Event behaviour: true", and set the configuration to "Event Behaviour" (first tick) and the command filter to the desired trigger word ("jarvis", in my case).
  4. Have this profile trigger a task HTTP POST to a server (put in the edison IP here) and the data be {"phrase" : "%avcommsnofilter()"}. The content type needs to be set to application/json
  5. Speak a custom command to your watch, and watch the server respond and perform an action!
