Roomba automation with Alexa.

Hi, 👋!

I'm Andrew and I empower others through quality software.

I aim to make software development more accessible to a wider audience. I accomplish this primarily through mentorship, OSS, and sharing my experiences.

Core Values

Growth mindset: Be willing to begin again. Empty your cup. Embrace growth opportunities.

Authentic Self: strive to create safe environments and empower everyone to bring their authentic self to the table.

Honesty: Be honest and transparent.

Simplicity: Favor simple solutions over easy ones.

Topics I find Interesting

Tinkering with my home automation project. Applied design principles and patterns. Gaming; mostly PC, some PlayStation. Elixir and functional programming. Science and philosophy. Mentorship and teaching technical concepts.

Ask Me About

Feel free to ask me about simple and easy. Any of my interest. I'm always seeking individuals with a passion to learn more about software engineering.

Goals

• Dedicate time each week to learn about Elixir

Connect With Me

I do not favor unexpected phone calls. I prefer to chat in public forums, so information can be more easily shared. I strive to be available to answer questions, pair program, etc.

alexa-lucy's Issues

Setup a development docker environment

Currently, any changes to the source code require a manual rebuilding of the project (npm run build). The docker file and docker compose are for production; installing only production node modules and copying over built code.

I want the ability to run the application inside a docker specifically built for development, so that I may easily leverage the coordination of other containers' environments that I need; such as mongodb.

Visually indicate roombas not yet saved (persisted)

Given I have added a new roomba with a name/address, when going backwards through the wizard to the first step, then I get a visual indicator of all roombas I've added, but not yet saved (persisted via the final step of the wizard).

Given I have selected a pre-existing roomba and update its name or address or cleaning spaces, when going backwards through the wizard to the first step, then I get a visual indicator of all roombas I've added, but not yet saved (persisted via the final step of the wizard).

Stop cleaning intent

I want to tell Alexa to stop a roomba's cleaning and instruct it to dock, so that I can cancel a cleaning task for a given living space.

Associate a roomba device with a living space

I want to associate an added roomba to a living space, so that I can tell Alexa to clean a given living space and have it activate the associated roomba.

Deletion of roombas

I want to be able to delete a previously saved roomba.

Enable React for service web UI

Docker container to run application

New roomba device

I want to add a new roomba by its IP address or network name, so the roomba will be available to command via Alexa.

Password protect web UI

Possibly with an env variable for the password?

Redirect all pages to password/login form when not authenticated.

Better name other than Jarvis

Find a better name and:

• rename repo
• rename references to jarvis in code

Update pre-existing roombas

I want to be able to select a roomba from the list of all my added roombas, so that I can make updates to the name, address, or associated cleaning spaces.

Clean intent

I want Alexa to activate the associated roomba for a spoken living space, so that I can clean that living space with a roomba device.

Service web UI

I want to be able to interact with the system's setup via a browser, so that I can add setup my system for Alexa.

Auto build code changes

I want to automatically rebuild and restart the server when server-side codes changes, so that I do not need to manually rebuild the project to see my server-side changes.

I want to automatically rebuild any client-side built assets when making client-side code changes, so that I do not need to manually rebuild the client-side files.

I want client-side changes to only trigger a rebuilding of client-side code, so I do not rebuild and restart the entire server/application when making a client-side code change.
