Twas my birthday the other day - allegedly my family didn't know what to get me so to play safe they got nowt! ;(
Anyroad, I've had a hankering for some artificial intelligence in my life as we're bereft of any real intelligence in this household. So Prime Day cometh and I bought an 'Echo Dot' from Amazon so that they and the CIA can listen in to what goes on in my kitchen.
It arrived today along with a £3.80 pond pump from China (but that's an aside, we won't go there except to say its pumping many litres of water over a gravel bed in my wildlife pond in order to try to clean it up).
Back to the Echo - I was a little worried that I'd not actually use it much - but can happily report that whilst hands deep in pizza dough I was able to successfully command Alexa to switch from 'Celtic Frost' to 'the Smiths' without having to wash my hands (or risk dough in the amp controls) - splendid.
This is how skynet really started.
To bring this back on track:
What robotic devices / AI do you use in the garden/allotment?
