Hello all.
Is it possible to install voice control for a project?
(for example, open mimic using voice control etc.)?

Hello,

it's a good question! One of my "advanced" customer done that using Google Now or Siri/Alexa and IFTTT using Node-Red over a Raspberry PI.
It's feasible but you have to link together a chain of Cloud services:

  • A vocal assistant like Google Now, Alexa, Siri
  • A cloud gateway like IFTTT - https://ifttt.com/
  • A software that interface IFTTT with PcVue, for example Node-Red : https://nodered.org
    Node-Red can act as a local gateway: IFTTT on one side and Modbus Server on the other, allowing to be polled by PcVue using our Modbus Master driver).
  • Some code inside PcVue to manage events according Modbus variables status

Please note that Node Red can be executed also on the same PC of PcVue, probably also as a Windows Service.

If someone else has better info, please share, it's a interesting trend.
