In this video I will show you how we can easily control the output of a µC with Amazon Alexa. Along the way I will show you what software to use and which hardware is suitable to switch mains voltage. And at the end I will present you a practical example of home automation by controlling the lights in a corridor.

I find it strange how much I appreciate the hand drawn schematics in all his videos..
After following countless outdated tutorials on how to communicate between Alexa and Raspberry Pi, the Sinric method is the only one that actually worked for me. Thanks a ton!
LOL. I have been researching integrating Alexa to the esp over the past week. My echo just arrived in the mail today, and my luck that you of all people made a video on it. No more scraping youtube for poor production value and lack of clarity. Thank you, legend!

German is so good in packaging. You see how he presents the automation in more practical way, it's terrific!

i just ordered my first ESp8266 last week. video couldn't have come at a better time.
Great ideas, as usual, from Great Scott. I enjoy your videos and straightforward explanations. I actually followed one of your other videos very carefully to make my own power supply from a PC.
This was probably one of the most helpful video's you've made in my case. Thanks! I was having a really hard time programming an xbee to work with smartthings on a zigbee network. Talk about complicated with no information. I will give the esp8266 a shot after watching this.
thank you you just saved another 10 hours of my life. just wasted 10 hours to find to do this. Thank you so much
You worked for hours on end to make a device that you dismantled right after you're done.
For everyone who is trying to achieve something similar: a great alternative are the sonoff devices. They are also esp8266 based relays but a little cheaper, smaller, come with a nice case and have a huge online community. Just flash a custom software like Tasmota onto it and it can be controlled with any local smarthome controller (e.g. domoticz or openhab) that can also make it available for alexa. There is also a settings to let it emulate an alexa compatible devices itself although I never tested that.
This was a really useful video, and even though I won't be attempting to attack my power distribution box in the near future, I see some cool applications! Thanks :)
I was looking for something like that for some time now, thanks.
As always a pleasure to watch your videos, I think we can't do cheaper & easier than Itead products
Why aren’t you a home automation enthusiast? Great videos by the way. Always learning from you. Thanks for posting.
My amazon echo sitting next to my pc speakers heard you and began playing my fav song. perfect
GeatScott! , you are the BEST!
wow! electrical engineer here, nice one! added to the To-do list. more projects like this.
Wow I just finished integrating Cortana voice commands with my Raspberry Pi yesterday, and then I see this! Also, YAY A GREATSCOTT VIDEO!!!
