Controlling Blinds With Amazon Echo With Raspberry Pi

For some reason, controlling blinds in a smart home has always been the holy grail for hobbyists. Master James Wahavisan figured out how to control some with Amazon Echo, Raspberry Pi and some other parts.

As you’d expect, the Echo gives you control over the blinds, while the Raspberry Pi packages the code to convert it into blind instructions. The blinds themselves are connected to the Pi using a stepper motor hat and are powered by a small motor. It is not an easy project and it will take a long time to adapt it for your own use, but nevertheless, it is quite user-friendly. Visit the Wahawisan website to find a guide.
