PiHouse

A voice/app/webapp controlled home automation system written in Golang to run on a variety of machines

The applications included:

• pihouseserver
• pihouseclient/voice
• pihouseclient/enviroment

Application: pihouseserver

This is a web server for the http API and react web app that will recieve data from the clients (nodes) and send instructions over websockets to the clients.

Requires:

• An MsSQL server - enviroment variable SqlServerConnectionString
• A functioning Go install

Running on Linux:

export SQLSERVERCONNECTIONSTRING="sqlserver://YOUR_USERNAME_HERE:YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE:YOUR_PORT_HERE?database=YOUR_PIHOUSE_DB_NAME_HERE"
go run github.com/Jordank321/pihouse/pihouseserver

Running on Windows - powershell:

$env:SqlServerConnectionString="sqlserver://YOUR_USERNAME_HERE:YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE@YOUR_IP_ADDRESS_HERE:YOUR_PORT_HERE?database=YOUR_PIHOUSE_DB_NAME_HERE"
go run github.com/Jordank321/pihouse/pihouseserver

pihouseclient/voice

This executable is used to issue commands to the pihouseserver by voice

The concept is to use Porcupine by Picovoice through the Golang bindings here by charithe to detect when the wake word (currently Franchesca) is said, then begin streaming the audio to the Google speech-to-text API. The returned transcription is fed through Wit.ai to produce intent tags (like living_room_lights and ps4) and wit/on_off tags (on/off/toggle) to switch on or off lights, consoles, TVs and heating!

Requires:

• A wit.ai project token - enviroment variable WIT_ACCESS_TOKEN
• A microphone
• C libary and include files setup for porcupine (see here Requires the pv_porcupine library to be available... )
• A functioning Go install

Running on Linux:

export WIT_ACCESS_TOKEN=YOUR_WIT_AI_TOKEN_HERE
(command which pipes 16bit little endian audio here examples coming soon) | go run github.com/Jordank321/pihouse/pihouseclient/voice

Running on Windows

Using Fmeadia it might be possible to achive a similar result

pihouseclient/environment

This executable is used to update the pihouseserver on the temperature, humidity, bluetooth devices nearby and motions sensor input
