Nah, I'd just like a system that works like I described. And I also want to learn some more programming!
What about a kinnect in every room. Could track exactly where you are and you could train it to recognise routes to work out where you're going.
True, or a cheap webcam. There are a lot of ways to do it I suspect. Just want to find a cheap easy way!
What about motion detectors like the ones you would use for a security system? I have a few of those around here, that might work pretty well.
Second hand kinnects are cheap. 3d vision would be better for tracing your route, and there's a nice API for it all.
They can tell where you are, but not necessarily where you're going.
Very true. I'll do some checking on the Kinect. Thanks for the heads up!
Just busting your stones there, quad boy. :-P
You know, my brother in FL does home audio, alarms - all that low voltage stuff. I am surprised the hoity-toits down there haven't asked him for that very thing like you are trying to do. Maybe that could be a promotional idea for him. Let me know how you get on. ;-)
Add a speaker to your quadcopter and have it follow you where you go blasting music down above your head.
I have been thinking about this for a while but never really got stuck into it. My plan was to use my phone with NFC token at certain points of the house that will change the Sonos speaker as I moved around. There are lots of NFC software options that can be programmed to do simple tasks, the biggest hurdle for me is making it work with the Sonos software.
I think I need to go and by some NFC tokens now.
