Using a Raspberry Pi Zero W Hackster.io member Chenjunj has created a new Raspberry Pi smart clock which cannot only display the time and allow you to set alarms but also has voice interaction with Amazon Alexa. Chenjunj explains a little more about the inspiration behind the DIY smart clock.
“The clock is a very important part in everyday life. With the development of technology, ordinary clocks cannot meet the current society. Eventually, I successfully embedded the Alexa Voice Service in a clock so that the device not only looked at the time but also the weather, listen to news, etc. For the convenience of operation, I integrated the installation of AVS and ReSpeaker 2-Mics Pi HAT drivers into 2018-08-06-raspbian-4GB-for-respeaker. Inside the image file, download and burn this file to raspberry-zreo W, run alexa-auth in the terminal, and then log in to get the authorisation of alexa”
The Raspberry Pi Zero W was used together with a few other components such as a Seeed’s Grove 4-digit display to help keep the clocks form factor as small as possible.
