Specifying the spec requirements for the previously envisioned remote-control-based home assistant robot idea
1
A home robot that serves as a hub for controlling appliances using a multi-remote control
A robot that covers control even of analog appliances, not just IoT devices
Linkable with and controllable from a smartphone
2
Remote control of off-the-shelf appliances can be easily uploaded by registering them in the smartphone app and controlling from there, or
by mirroring a remote to the robot (e.g., placing the robot beside the TV and capturing the remote's commands in record mode).
You can issue commands to the robot directly by voice, or
configure specific condition values into the robot so that it controls things on its own.
As needed, it can also collect information from carrier alerts or public APIs (weather, fire alerts, national disasters, etc.) and respond in real time.
3
The interface, like existing multi-remote apps, is composed with an easy-to-use UI.
Each setting can basically be done by voice, and as needed setup, updates, and reporting can be done via a desktop application or smartphone app (web).
It defaults to operating offline as well, with default setting values.
