I started making my own several years ago but got sidelined by health issues and haven't gone back to it. :(

My end goal is I have a lot of comic books. I want a voice assistant that can query a database and then turn on smart lights to show box locations.

I got the database done, I got the queries working, then had a heart attack and never got the voice input or smart light output working. :(

Damn. I hope you're feeling better, my friend.

Working on it!

Yeah I understand the health issues for sure. First prostate cancer with a radical prostatectomy and then a year later Guillain-Barré Syndrome. I had lots of projects on hold for several years. This was like 5 years ago and I’m good now.

Oh that is fucking awesome. Hope you can finish it and share it one day!
