- resume listening (volume 95%)
- protocol one (TV on - via fireTV stick & PC on - via WOL)
- protocol two (3d printer on - via remote sockets & PC on - via WOL)
- show page 1
- show page 2
- show first page
- show next page
- show previous page
- show last page
scripts running in background
- lightsensor which adjusts the monitors brightness
- motionsensor, turns monitor on
- welcome message after being long gone (Welcome home name, it is currenty time)
unsolved issues
- monitor is still visible when it gets darker, although the brightnesssensor-dimming solution made it way better
- microphone isn’t the best - is there an ‘alexa, google home’ like quality solution? (Tried a 4-way mic-array, kinda had worse experience)
- voice commands only work in a silent environment
todo
- update to newer version and install the newer voice related modules
- find out why/what causes about 500mb traffic per day
Mailbox (unfinished)
-
Sender - RYLR896+Arduino Nano
=> motionsensor for new mail
=> reedsensor for picking up mail
=> energy: “simple” usb powerbank with rechargeable AA batteries (does not shut off due to low power consumption) -
Receiver - RYLR986+ESP8266
=> energy via USB Port rasberry pi
Pictures :-)

I would love to be able to have such thing myself, but I have no clue what to do with these parts! :face_with_tears_of_joy: -
@justbob
It’s currently laying on my desk :-(
Couldn’t find a proper way to detect new mail properly yet.
-
have you a network speed checker running? that could account for the 500mb your using?
-
@banbutcher yes, used screen and nethogs and tried lowering the refresh-rates of some modules and the data-usage dropped quickly
-
That’s a really great build! Congrats!
I like the (physical) mail notification and pickup idea very much. So please keep us in the loop with how it works out,
