Voice controlled home automation using Arduino, EasyVR shield, and Insteon Devices

Continuous voice controlled home automation using Arduino, EasyVR board, Insteon Devices, and a through-home custom intercom system. A Mac Mini running a custom Objective-C application provides the text-to-speech throughout the home, while monitoring internal home events and external events such as weather conditions, including watches and warnings.

Insteon KeypadLinc Integrated Weather Reporting

Added a new video to my YouTube channel showing further progress with my custom home automation system. In this video, I use an Insteon KeypadLinc linked with my home controller, which gives the current outside weather conditions (provided by NOAA), over my intercom system.
