Turn your M2 on with your voice

Post by jdacal » Thu Apr 09, 2015 8:47 am

I can now turn the printer on and off by voice.

The WEMO switches are now compatible with the Amazon Echo. So I can say stuff like:

"Alexa Printer ON"

or

"Alexa Printer OFF"

I, for one, welcome our 3D printing overlords.

I like the Echo, its got lots of potential if Amazon doesn't drop the ball in further developing it. Its kind of like a Bose bluetooth speaker on steroids. Sound isnot as good though, but not bad.

Oh and yes, you can yell all you want at it. :)
