How to Trigger Alexa Routines Using RFID Cards
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 сен 2024
- This is a demo for a Raspberry Pi and RFID combo which communicates with a custom Alexa SmartHome skill to simulate a Contact Sensor opening whenever a card is tapped. Contact Sensors opening can be a trigger for Routines as well, so this lets me tie custom behaviour within Alexa to each tap of the card. In other words, the RFID cards serve as a "Smart Button" that hooks into Alexa.
This also features some blatant product placement for my humorous but real t-shirt company called "Sandwich T-shirts Dot Com"

Oh wow - this is amazing, Ben. I'm intimidated by my kids Yoto so I should probably follow along to more of these videos and learn about coding! Well done!
Hey thanks Sarah! Don't get passed by those kiddos!
@Ben Eagan Awesome work! I would love to check out the code and set this up myself. I have an RFID reader and have configured an Arduino to read the cards before so it would be a matter of the Amazon/Alexa integration, but also have a PI 4 sitting somewhere I could use if needed.
That would be great if you could write it up! It always seems like doing anything Alexa-related is difficult to do in software. If you found an easier way, that would be great! Also, I love ESP-32, so if you switch to that, that would also be great! Thanks!
Excellent, thanks for letting me know! Going to tinker with the ESP-32 this week. It's such an amazing little board.
i would love to see the tutorial
Thanks for letting me know! Honestly it doesn't seem like there's a ton of enthusiasm for this one, but I will likely at least share my code somewhere with a couple pointers and lessons learned.
@@BenjaminEagan please share!
Would also love the code
Thumbs up if the painting being crooked didn’t bother you one bit, not one tiny bit, not at all.
But actually awesome build!

I cant see my comment, I think it's because I included a link to an other you tube video.
How are you getting on porting this to the ESP32?
I urgently need to see how you did this. I can probably work out the RFID stuff, it's mainly sending the instruction to Alexa to start the routine.
I'll gladly show my project for you to steel and share, when I get it working. I'm hoping to make someone's day to day life a little easier, and have no intention of making a commercial product . If you are interested here is a little project I gave to another youtuber, jut copy this in the RUclips search bar. WJaxzhL2Ji8 or this one jKnhx1PintY
