I'm pretty much doing that very thing. I'm quadriplegic, so every single action I want to take in the world has to be mediated through a third party. That said party is anything from another person to one of the digital assistants. As another poster mentioned I think, I control pretty much everything in my house including but not limited to unlocking doors, windows, climate control, the lights, posting to Twitter and…

Very interesting information on that site and it's good to see you involved in a part of the programming world.

Good hearted advice but lacking in few aspects. Most medical products are terrible with open integrations and open standards.

I suspect this kind of advice is given by consumer companies for fear of liability than anything else.

In many cases, medical devices that have consumer equivalents don't have anything extra than a better written user agreement and little more liability.

And if you want to add a 100% offline and private-by-design Voice AI which can run on a Raspberry Pi 3 (and iOS, Android, Linux), take a look at what we are building at https://snips.ai (it also integrates to Home Assistant) It works for english, german, french, japanese, spanish, italian, and more coming soon!

Looks awesome! Any plans for FreeRTOS?

Snips.Ai runs as docker container in home assistant. I'm sure you can docker stuff on FreeRTOS

I would very much like to learn more about what you're doing. My wife sustained a spinal cord injury and while is still able to walk with assistance, there are issues that she still has that present fall risks and with some sensory issues.

I've been adding home automation in little bits at a time as we can afford it also using Home Assistant and working to make the system as bullet proof as possible.
