I've a few simple projects around the house

1. I've a python script that sends bluetooth LE commands to my ceiling fan & lights. Ceiling fan has got a bluetooth LE remote you get from Lowes. Then used ha-bridge to simulate Philips hue, so now I can control the lights & fan using Alexa.

Built it to turn lights no/off with my new born daughter in hand.

And since about 5 months of age, every time anyone says the word Alexa she looks around to see the change in environment.

2. Run this useful open source project called LittleSleeper[1] to detect my baby daughter crying at night.

3. Configured IP camera to upload pictures on activity and use BerryNet[2] to detect whats in the images

Cool ! If you want more privacy around your kid than streaming what she is saying to Amazon with Alexa, you can use the platform we are building at https://snips.ai, it is free and will be open-source too!
