My current favorite ones:
- My GF is a bit forgetful and sometimes leaves her purse behind when leaving somewhere. I had an automation setup with an ibeacon in her purse and owntracks on her phone to detect when the purse is far away from her, and send me and her a notification
- i built a bed occupancy sensor so hass knows if we're in bed or not, and disables automations that would otherwise be annoying (mainly the motion-detected lights in the bedroom)
- i come home and say "hey snips, i'm home" which turns on the tv and sets kodi to a plugin that i tend to use.
- i have a snips.ai command (hey snips, let's party) which turns on my lifx bulbs and makes them change colors
- also whenever Eric Prydz comes on my living room kodi, those party lights come on
- i have an announcement go out over snips.ai tts when my 3d print starts (so i can go ensure the first few layers are good) and when the 3d print is done. I also have snips commands to tell me how much time is left on my 3d print job, and if the temperature of the nozzle spikes too high.
Aha those are exactly what I was looking for a few years ago when I tried to do the same, I only found tiny ones with difficult to use interfaces. Thanks!
i made an account because i noticed you mentioned snips. I own a 3d printer and just began toying with it, setting tts is bloody genius. is it hard to pick it up?
I find their telegram (https://t.me/snipsair) pretty useful to ask poke around. Looking for their Discord because Dev community is mostly there! Plus i believe you get rewarded for helping em in their token. Not so much into Crypto but it seems to have some viable utility in their ecosystem.
