Voice-controlled Home Automation Using IBM Watson, Docker, IFTTT, and Serverless
Explore the architecture and technologies behind voice-controlled home automation in this conference talk. Learn how to build natural language interfaces for IoT devices using serverless frameworks, IBM Watson, Docker, IFTTT, and OpenWhisk. Discover the basics of architecture and deployment processes, and examine practical use cases for home automation, security, and web applications. Gain insights into pairing OpenWhisk with IBM Watson's cognitive natural language services to create your own version of Alexa or Google Home. Delve into real-time event-driven messaging with MQTT and IFTTT, and understand how these technologies can be leveraged to create innovative IoT solutions. Follow along as speakers Kalonji Bankole and Prashant Khanal from IBM demonstrate the implementation process, covering topics such as speech-to-text conversion, natural language classification, training data, communication protocols, web triggers, and architecture testing.
