          Is there currently a way to have a virtual assistant that

 control the powerhome software? For example, if I say the
 command "Jarvis wake up", then a virtual voice would say,
 "yes?" or "say a command" and then I would reply by giving
 Jarvis a command.

          PowerHome can handle this with its VR and TTS support.

 The problem is that VR in general is problematic. Most homes are not quiet enough for it to work well.

 so I just carry 1 with me and have 1 by my
 nightstand. they are both hooked up to a cheap
 microphone mixer that goes to my computer. that
 way I can have the volumes set low so we can
 understand me better. this is my favorite function
 of power home. people always seem to get a kick
 out of it and try to trick my computer. which is very
 easy to do but when people speak clearly it works
 well. I think next I will try to hook up some kind of
 bluetooth to it next. justin idea from a cheapskate
 noooob

          Good thinking. BT mics seem to be the best way to go.
