Interesting... But what do you do with this data?

Nothing in particular. I just wanted a way to view the temperature and humidity in my apartment when I'm out. Also I wanted to know what affects the humidity in my apartment and by how much (for example, you can see when I take my morning shower). In the future I may use the data to control a humidifier to turn it on whenever the humidity drops below a certain level.

Funny you mention humidity & showers. This is what I see when I take one:

I've a few simple projects around the house

1. I've a python script that sends bluetooth LE commands to my ceiling fan & lights. Ceiling fan has got a bluetooth LE remote you get from Lowes. Then used ha-bridge to simulate Philips hue, so now I can control the lights & fan using Alexa.

Built it to turn lights no/off with my new born daughter in hand.

And since about 5 months of age, every time anyone says the word Alexa she looks around to see the change in environment.

2. Run this useful open source project called LittleSleeper[1] to detect my baby daughter crying at night.

3. Configured IP camera to upload pictures on activity and use BerryNet[2] to detect whats in the images

actually the reporting to local law enforcement has been very effective. They do extra patrols based upon the data and have issues a number of tickets. One they issued a ticket for 80 in a 35 to a driver at 5:00am and then again the next day the driver did the same thing! Didn't expect them to be there two days in a row.

You might have saved his life - or someone else's. 80 in a 35? Completely insane.

Yeah and sadly these high speeds are common in our rural area. Drivers see a long 2 lane road in the middle of nowhere and just press the gas.

I'm the co-founder of https://snips.ai , we are building a 100% on-device Voice AI platform to respect people privacy! We would love to see what you can do with what we are building and to feature you on our website !

I've done a little reading into making something along these lines using a Pi, Snowboy hotword detection, and one of the cloud APIs. Two things I'm curious about... 1) What are you using for hardware with the Pi? It seems a high quality microphone is important to this application and the only array microphone I've been able to find is the MATRIX creator which seems steep in price if I could just buy an Amazon Dot. 2)…

Hi Bronco, a blog post on microphone will come soon on our blog, subscribe!

Very cool. I'd love to use it, but... Any plans to release source code? I can't trust any privacy claims without seeing it.

We want to open-source the platform later this year, you don't need an internet connection to use the platform so you can trust us!

I have been searching for something like this and this looks amazing! Looking forward to trying this out. As others said, I'd feel more comfortable with an open codebase.

Thanks, this is coming soon!

Will this have the ability to replace an Alexa in terms of smart home integration/automation?

This is what we want to build !

Cool ! If you want more privacy around your kid than streaming what she is saying to Amazon with Alexa, you can use the platform we are building at https://snips.ai, it is free and will be open-source too!

1. use it as a weather station - temp/hum/pressure sensors are quite cheap 2. if you already have weather station, hook it up to an API and share the data (wunderground.com, or similar) 3. you can use it as local lan media player/web server if you don't want to mess with hardware 4. build a bad ass robot/drone/submarine with it 5. build security system - possibilities are limitless. You can even use pressure sensor a…

Cool! If you want to add 100% on-device Voice AI to your weather station you can use our platform at https://snips.ai which is free and will be open-sourced later!
