[@porterbhall]

This is awesome and very inspiring! I've been watching most of these technologies, especially OpenHAB. It's great to see how you've architected it all together. Would love to see more and will watch for a tutorial.

[@Madfeast]

Very good job. I would like to ask in the beginning of the video what is it the one that looks like nexus player gui on the tv? Do you have nexus player?

[@Rckid28]

[@raven98031]

Thanks for the video I'm planning to get my dad for this video I'm planning on gettokng Amazon echo for his 60th birthday. any recommendations what I could buy with it like the smart lights

[@rafalpotasz]

Minor thought, I think all of this would looks amazing if it was clean and mostly wireless (I just mean hiding the wires and I know it's a new setup, I heard you :) ), very nice setup man. Must have taken a while to set it all up but looks like a fun project if you're into this sort of stuff. Also glad it actually looks useful. I'm the type that for some reason always ends up searching for the darn remote!.. Thanks for sharing all of this.

[@qnologyblog]

+Grizhlie Thank you for the comments. My most used command is "Alexa, turn off TV".

[@rafalpotasz]

qnologyblog Heh, great stuff. Yeah will most likely invest in a similar setup once I can. Thanks again :)

[@MikeDunphy]

I'm interested in the find iPhone feature. Did you do that via the echo bridge or openhab?

[@BradleyHerbst]

Great video. Looking forward to see your tutorial video.

How did you setup the iPhone stuff and the tv? How did you setup the PC to be turned on?

[@MrMr123]

Can you set timers or macros? Idea is to help me wake up in the morning... want the lights (lutron caseta dimmers) to turn on at 4:30am and turn he onkyo network receiver on.... is that possible?

[@bawitdaba1337]

Is there a way to make the Echo only listen when a button is pushed? Maybe via the remote?

[@lightingbird]

Very nice. You just sold me on the echo

[@Ranfertagonsalves]

[@Thribularity]

Phenomenal, thanks for the best video on this subject. Very advanced.

[@rickc1798]

how do you control the light in the living room please

[@myvn4ever]

hey Qui, have you thought about doing this in other languages? How easy is it for those that have accents?

[@qnologyblog]

+myvn4ever I don't think Alexa likes accents too much. However, she does have a learning feature that helps her understand you better.

[@davidw3591]

Cool vid! How do you shutdown the Arcade PC?

[@qnologyblog]

+David Willems A remote shutdown command from the Raspberry Pi. See my blog for more info. blog.qnology.com/2015/11/voice-control-home-automation-via.html

[@jgoni20]

what about create a web page where you can find out how to do all this cool things?

[@qnologyblog]

+Johnny Goni It's in the video description, but here is a link to my tutorial - blog.qnology.com/2015/11/voice-control-home-automation-via.html

[@juancarlosgonzalez2788]

Hi there, how did you hook the tv with Alexa? I have Harmony hub and remote

[@qnologyblog]

+Juan Carlos Gonzalez - It is done via the Raspberry Pi running some open source software. Alexa talks to the Amazon Echo Bridge software running on the Pi, which then talks to OpenHab also running on the Pi, which then talks to the Harmony Hub to control the TV. I really need to make a diagram. Check out my tutorial for more details - blog.qnology.com/2015/11/voice-control-home-automation-via.html

[@SubliminalJames]

Wonderful information...great video....Thanks Well done!

[@TheCoyote62]

How to set Your Iphone to Be A Voice remote ?

[@teachtricknepali1786]

hi sir what did u study??

[@kmann1994]

"Turn OFF TV Volume" has to be the most unintuitive voice command for volume down in the world.

[@qnologyblog]

+Kevan Mann, I agree. Let me know if you have something better. Ideally, I should be able to set the volume to a certain level similar to how I dimmed the dinner room light. Not sure if that will be possible via the Harmony Hub though. Should be possible using the Sony TV API or serial connection.

[@chimeranzl]

Can you provide more information on how you integrated find your iphone php with OpenHAB?

[@SamJones1337]

great job!!!

[@theanarchistmodz9583]

Please make a tutorial

[@protolexis]

Odd voice commands, many of which are not intuitive and I'd completely forget, but otherwise pretty cool.

[@jonashdzh]

My PC runs all my 4k Tv also my 4k reciever RX-V 2079 by yamaha via 1 hdmi cable thats all . Anyway it looks ok and im sure you will wow all your friends when they come over to see you.
