Alexa Goes Handsfree!

It is possible to tell alexa to execute the codes. There are several projects using aws lamda to process the codes. This guy for example did it with his mirror.

@bhepler Are you running it from your pi or do you have the echo/dot?
If you are using the pi then yes you can customize the wake word which will trigger it into listening mode.How did you customize the wake word? I’m using the Alexa AVS sample app on my Rpi3 which uses snowboy as the wakeword agent and everything is working great, but would love it if I didn’t have to use the name “alexa”!

You need to create your own voice model and recompile the code. Check the above link. It is pretty straight foward though I found that I get lots of false hits but that’s because my model number doesn’t have a lot of samples. -
@d3r this is awesome…thanks for sharing!

I’m really interested in adding voice control, especially a solution provided by amazon or google with good recognition.
I can see in the video above alexa can answer all sorts of questions but how can this be incorporated into magic mirror to do thing like restart, show and hide modules, etc?Also, how would alexa get information about things like the current location to give travel times etc?
I guess the end goal would be to have other modules controlling things like lighting (phillips hue?) and using the voice control to turn it on/off & change colour as an example.
