Walle – Home Assistant #piday #raspberrypi @Raspberry_Pi
From Dawid Liberda on Hackster.io:
During last weeks we were working very hard creating a device, which helps people in a better day organisation. The device shows date with time, our events from a calendar, weather forecast and also breaking news. Everything you need to know at first sight.
An assistant is connected with a Wi-Fi wireless home network, that’s why all of data is always up-to-date. The only thing you need to do is plugging in the charger to the power source.
Walle is not only a main screen, on which we see preview of applications. When you click on one of the section you are moved to a fullscreen view, which contains extended information. You can for example get access to clear and beautiful full-size calendar – a smart calendar with short summary of upcoming events in each day.
Our device also has got built-in Amazon Alexa assistant, with whom you can have a normal chat like with a real person, but not only! We have created two Walle Controllers – the first for the light and the second one for the central heating system. They are standalone devices with wireless communication, that’s why Walle is able to easily control every kind of home automation.
So what is really Walle? It’s a complete home automation system!
