The technological environment, like an unattainable dream, always hovering concept of "next big thing". In Russian it is, relatively speaking, the next big discovery. Moreover, the idea can hover in the air for a long time and started to be implemented if by accident. This is the situation with a smart TV, which has become commonplace. And now the old new idea disturbs minds California startups - smart home.
But, as practice shows, to complicate anything it does not make sense, and the genius called simple solutions. Therefore, a simple boy from Youtube with Elvis took the nickname and made a smart house with the help of iPhone, setting control via Siri.
Of course, you can not create a smart home, armed with iPhone only. But by and large, all built around a more simple device - a microcomputer Raspberry Pi and SiriProxy installed on it. It is this small machine executes instructions that Elvis sends via Siri. See how it works great, and then I will tell you how to do well.
Of course, not everyone will build a smart home, but Elvis is divided by all necessary for this purpose. Even if you're not a geek, this person certainly there among friends. And if you show him this video, and then give into the hands of all the necessary hardware, you get a smart home for a relatively low price and in record time. Well buddy or pole will flee from you with all the equipment.
Here is a list of what used American enthusiasts when building a house working with a wave of Siri:
