Google Assistant based smart room on a buget

[Luke m]

Hi,

 

I was just thinking that it would be really nice if i could say okay google im going to bed or related type phrase and when i said that it would set a alarm and turn off two screens also if possible put my pc to sleep and then make sure one switch was on and one was off.

 

If anyone has suggestions as to how to do this cheaply that would be great.

 

Thanks for any help,

Luke

You probably want to get a raspberry pi with alexa.

 

Alexa for all your smart-home turn stuff on/off, then use alexa's cortana integration to turn your PC off. 

 

"Smart" plugs usually run at $15 a piece, setting an alarm is probably included in Alexa, and your smart switches shoould be around $15 (minimum).

Google already has that functionality. Check the Google assistant settings in your phone to setup shortcuts. All you need is a compatible smart plug for your lights.

 

Also here is a tutorial about shutting the computer down with IFTTT I could imagine you could modify the tutorial to use sleep instead of shutdown.

Or, you can just turn off the lights by walking around the room for 2 meters, turn off the displays with a button and put your computer to sleep by clicking a few buttons.

 

Are you all really that lazy that you need assistants?

 

Yes, its good for playing music and reading recipes, but turning off the lights and switching off a computer is straight up being a lazy cunt by the person.
