Project Overview

Home automation in progress.
I will be adding new blog posts as i manage to set up new things in my environment.
With my set up i can either use any webbrowser, Android openhab application or Google Home to control my environment.
For example i can say “Hey Google, turn on Movie Time” . This will trigger:
– Set Projector screen down
– Turn On Projector
– Set AV receiver ON and to specific preset with specific volume and sound settings.
– Change AV receiver Input to Computer.
