A few more pictures
Until the video clip appears, I thought I'd post a couple more images to whet your proverbial appetites...
The weather is downloaded, parsed, and presented here. It is also spoken by the in-house voice synthesizer when it wakes you up in the morning
By clicking on the light bulb, or the switch, the appropriate light in the house turns on and off. Also note the 'Make A Cuppa' button:)
The simple news page. It grabs RSS feeds, and summarizes them on a separate set of pages. The next step is to incorporate this information into the spoken status reports, so you can listen to the news while getting up in the morning
If I haven't mentioned it before, I use Festival for the speech synth, and am moving as much reporting as possible to it, so I can operate the house without needing a monitor. I think this is good from a generalized standpoint as it becomes more natural, and helps less able users understand the system. e.g. guests, who are generally confused by HA.
