If you have been following my on IRC, you might know that i started coding my own home/life automation software. The software gives me reminders, tells me the weather every hour, and more. It gives me all this information with text to speech, via the speakers in my ceiling.
The system runs on my old laptop, which stays on 24/7 and has a small desk fan next to it to prevent overheating.
100% of all features are voice enabled, so that i can hear them anytime. The Bedtime reminder every night tells me that it is time to go to bed. In the future i will shutdown all my computers with this command, and possibly control the lights in my room.
The Redbox Reminders basically remind me every afternoon that i need to return my active redbox DVD's.
The Hourly weather reports basically read aloud the weather for my zip code, which is retrieved via XML.
I also plan on adding remote support via a ******* account - i tweet to the system, and it will do the action. Voice commands are also planned.
This is nothing that is going to be released to the public, I'm just looking for feedback and suggestions
