Hey, here is my project that creates a web based TV and voice remote using the HUZZAH ESP8266 Feather that I thought you will be interested in. In addition to using a web page from your phone as a TV remote, the device integrates voice commands, allowing you to say things like “turn on the TV”, “turn the TV volume up”, “switch input to Roku” and a
bunch of other commands. It utilizes IFTTT.com to integrate the voice commands with the ESP8266 device. The specifics are outlined in the article.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
