Taking the blockchain and home automation to the extreme

in #technology6 years ago

As a maker and a blockchain enthusiast, I little found myself giggling throughout this video.

I was watching this video on YouTube where a guy installed an Amazon Alexa in every room of the house and created endless automation for anything you can think of. I can't even begin to explain it and just recommend watching the video as you will be blown away.

He created a centralized system that works across all Alexa devices, TV's, lights, and most everything else in the house into a Jarvis centralized computer system. Jarvis is a custom build AI built by Matt Farley.

He also created a cryptocurrency Farley COin that is built on top of Ethereum and is used to run Jarvis and reward the kids.

What can Jarvis do?

  • Track both cars coming, going, and in route
  • Chore tracking with cryptocurrency reward system for the kids
  • Notify the house and parents when the house is broken into
  • Synchronize all TVs in the house to full house music
  • Display security camera feeds across all TVs and Computers in the house with visitor notification
  • Control all RGB lights in the house based on events
  • and so much more

The amount of work to program and build this is mind-blowing, but how well integrated it is without looking like a hack job is amazingly impressive. The scope of this project is impressive and I am curious how many Raspberry Pi, Arduino's, and Alexas went into this project.

I've wanted some RGB lights for the house but I really haven't thought of a really good use for them but this is the best use case I've ever seen. I really love the progress bar for kids tv time using the long RGB display.

Who needs privacy, when Amazon can watch over ones family?
:)))

Agreed 100%, leave them to it, not a chance I would go down that road.

Reminds me of a movie I watched once, I think with Sylvester Stallone, it was all futuristic, some people were out to get him and they could tell his movements and hear what was going on inside his house.

Only if you trust Amazon to not mess up the family? But who cares, we buy everything from amazon, just like we give google all our privacy data.

...For a better future?

A smart house, how utterly insane, one day you will work out why.

Just voted @themarkymark for witness. OPGaming has been a great friend to me on Steem and I know you'll point the currency in the right direction. Also you seem to be the only person on here willing to call out Whale's on their bullshit.

Wow thats beautiful arts,l'm so love with this,may you be the number one as soon as possible @themarkymark

giving the kids a fake coin you just made up to bribe them, pretty sweet dad trick

It's actually a real coin on the Ethereum network.

well that's it i'm buying some that kid better clean his room

I have learned that if you have 1 million steem then you will regular income from here.

Ok, thanks for letting us know...

Am I wrong buddy, just from experience I am saying. And also I have learned many things from your post. Thank you.

For regular income? hmmm.. for $20 a day and if you upvote all your posts, you'll need only 25,000 to 30,000 SP, less if the price of STEEM increased.

So, 1 Million SP will make you insanely rich, even with the current STEEM price.

Okay, thanks for the valuable information. I will aim at increasing my SP.

Hi friend,

Installing all this things at home like full house with RGB light and installing music with every room how much it can cost?

Thnx in advance

holy molly !!!Thank you for your video and those three kids are very happy!!

Useful post! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the awesome video, the 'Jarvis' sounds crazy from your description already. Mark down to watch at home when i have the Wifi LOL

Good Nes

I get a funny feeling that Alexas most common chore reminder is clipping the cats nails and emptying the litter box. I don't think I could be that innovated but I sure did like where the kids could pick what they wanted to watch by pressing a button with a cartoon decal on it....I can't count how many times my grand kids mess my tv up by pushing the wrong buttons.

Interesting. I wouldn't want a voice to tell me my dishes were overdue, it would make me not want to do them even more. Which reminds me, I need to do the dishes LOL

It's pretty impressive though, in many ways. Not sure it's my thing though.

This is amazing - Know anyone that has made anything using an arduino that makes use of steem? Just too cool!

We need similar real life use cases implemented on steem blockchain :)

Wow, that home automated system is amazing. I wonder what the cost of all of it is. Either way, I love it.

I feel so sorry for this man child he got builled as a child and adult now he likes to bully people on line that's so sad get a life and grow up

I like google assistant. I think he is best voice assistant at this moment but it may change soon.
