In this project I integrate an old development of home automation (air conditioning and appliances control ) using an Arduino Uno and the Ethernet Shelf with the platform of Amazon’s Alexa Skill Kit, using the Raspberry Pi with Flask-Ask: A New Python Framework for Rapid Alexa Skills Kit Development.
Initially I wanted to integrate my Arduino Uno with some sdk library that would support AWS IoT, but after an arduous search without any success and having found in the forums the following “Unfortunately, Arduino Uno and its library does not have a crypto library, or enough runtime memory capable of passing through the authentication process. You might need a more powerful device to transmit/receive data through AWS IoT.”
And because I did not have the possibility of acquiring an Arduino Yun compatible with the AWS IoT Arduino Yun SDK, to present it in this project, I decided to communicate my old development of home automation with the Raspberry Pi through a UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
It was not necessary to have an Echo to develop this project, instead install on my device the Reverb, application that allows you to interact with Alexa from anywhere.
Let’s see how I get this job:
