Anyone else use this device/s to help in there sub business ?
We got them plastered all over the flat, as we now work from home.....
In the office room, where the business/printing gets done, we got all equipment wired up though wemo plugs....so
when we want any of the heat equipment on/off - just need to say -
"alexa, turn on the mug press" - "alexa, turn on the heat ( flat bed ) press"
"alexa, turn on the office light" - "alexa, turn on the fan one" "alexa, turn on the fan two" "alexa, turn on the epson printer"
"alexa, turn on the ricoh printer" "alexa, turn on the extractor " "alexa, turn on the fan heater "
"alexa, turn on computer one" "alexa, turn on computer two" "alexa, turn on computer three" -
The same commands to turn things OFF....obviously using the word OFF instead of ON
This had proved to be helpful, and practical in running business - as the switch for the large 40x60 flat bed press, is at the bloody back..meaning one has to lean over a hot press,with bare arm to turn switch off = burned arms - not any more - same with the switch for the double mug press, at the bloody back...
Besides all the office stuff....we got the hue coloured led bulbs in every light/lamp socket that's in here.....meaning some cool stuff with lighting can be had all through the flat - Got alexa to turn telly / sky on/off - stick kettle on/off, and it tells you when kettle boiled lol - and best bit....it can play music all through the flat at same time....similar to SONOS, but miles cheaper ;)...now thats some cool shit there, let me tell you friends
All led lights can be turned on/off single, or all at once.....
Only thing that lets the alexa thing down...is the lack of info it gives - why we bought 2 google homes....one in office, other in lounge - now these things are superb at answering any info you require , as it used google to search...alexa used BING search engine...and we all know how crap that is !!
We also looking at the new echo spot that due out in UK 2018 - these wee things are what the echo show should have been - go google it friends
Embrace technology my forum friends - it is the future
ANYONE else use these machines to help in business ?
