Next up: people start getting into Zuckerberg’s home by holding up a life size picture of Andrea’s face.

> Add face recognition, so it can recognise people at his door and automatically open it if they are expected I wonder if you could open his door with an A4 printout of his face. That's the sort of thing I'd worry about creating this system. Edit: Forgive me HN, it looks like a lot of people have wondered this.

There's a decent way to handle this method: use one of the Intel close RGBD cameras. I think they go by RealSense. Now, do facial recognition with the depth component. "Oh look, paper. How quaint... NOPE!" You could also log all people coming by with a known-unknown axis. You could train the system so that all they need do is look at the door, and they have the appropriate access they need. And it could also, instead…
This almost felt like satire but in the best way possible.

Ooh you could do all that and instead of a flat out denial based system fall back to a fingerprint scanning doorbell. Probably a weird conversation to have in the pub "Alright lads I'm gonna need you all to scan your fingerprints for me"
I already wrote a system that can take new facial inputs, classify you as "new user", and put your data in a database. All you need do is go up to the door. I can easily view the timecode and enter your details (name, phone#, email) at a later date.

Say what you will about Zuckerberg, but this is a really cool project! Steps he took: 1. Connect his home devices (lights, thermostat, doors, music player, TV, CCTV etc) to his computer, so he can turn them on and off from it and in general automate his house from his PC. 2. Add an NLP component to his computer, so he could text instructions to it and it would apply the correct automation task. This can learn prefere…
The building blocks, though, very much fit classic definitions of AI: face recognition, speech recognition, natural language parsing.
But no, its not Jarvis. Yet.

I think what's particularly great about this in a way is that it's not too remarkable. I'm not knocking it, but it's awesome to be around when creating an natural language, speech controlled, available anywhere system with face recognition to automate your own home is something that can be done in 100 hours.

I built something to similar this, using a Raspberry Pi, reverse SSH tunnels, Phillips Hue, Nest, and a range of sensors. Part of the project was an admin panel, to oversee the status/health of all the systems, as well as a manual control panel. My biggest concern was security. Granted, it was an internal network in my house, but if anyone got access to it, they had camera feeds, and practically full control of my ho…
