Alexa Integrated Smart Lamp, 2019.
A complete consumer-ready "smart" product that could fit into just anywhere in the living spaces. Integrated with your Alexa echo dot (3rd gen), this smart lamp could replace your traditional desk lamp while bringing more fun and automation.
This first generation project has two modes: Desk lamp mode would activate the photocell sensor to adjust the brightness of the lamp based on the surrounding light, saving energy and effort! Music listening mode is going to activate the built-in microphone and turn the smart lamp into a visualizer for your favorite music, or just the voice visualizer as an extension to your friendly Alexa.
Having the Arduino Nano and the Alexa integration opens up many possibilities for this first generation project. You could potentially replace it with raspberry pi to truly integrate the Alexa voice system to create your unique Alexa built in product, extending the "smartness" even more into your living spaces.
