Leveraging a Raspberry Pi, some coding, and a microphone, a maker has built a home automation system that can be controlled by playing melodies from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Over the last couple of years, we’ve seen various attempts to make home automation simpler and more accessible with prime examples being Google Home and Apple’s HomeKit solution. Even Mark Zuckerberg had a go at building his own personal AI assistant for his family home as his challenge for 2016.
While speech recognition and app integration have been the primary means with which to interact with home automation systems, a fan has taken a slightly different approach with his smart home setup, using none other than the iconic wind instrument from Nintendo’s The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time .
