Been toying with the idea of making my own voice responsive smart home hub based on arduino.
I have a couple of ideas of what I want to do, but I will keep an example simple:
I have a strip of WS2812 LEDs connected to a Pimoroni Plasma: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/plasma-2040
So I want something to sit in my living room that I can program to do something with the light if I say something to it. Normally I'd think that out of reach for me, however I came across this product from Expressif: https://www.adafruit.com/product/5290
I can't make head or tail of wether or not this will be able to do what I want it to within my capacity to code it. It seems to have a simple setup for making voice commands, but it also seems this isn't user configurable and that there is a hard coded list of commands if I plan to use it this way, but there's no way to know from the documentation what limitations are there. (To the best of my ability to attempt to figure it out) Anyone have any experience with this software? It is just so convenient for what I envision, bringing together microcontroller and screen, power etc
I was thinking of maybe using 433MHz modules to communicate wirelessly with nodes around my house, but this may be a bad idea? Anything better to use?
To sum up, I want to make something that will take a (somewhat configurable) voice command and translate it to doing something with GPIO pins that I can use to send commands to nodes around my house. Is the ESP32 S3 BOX suitable? Are there better ideas?
