As a tinkerer, I am always looking for ways to make life easier and solve problems that don't usually exist. To that extent, I decided I wanted to create an automated TV stand that can be controlled through the Google Home app.
So I got to work:
Sourced a automated TV lift from a broken bed second hand
Created a box out of MDF
Programmed a Raspberry pi to control the remote based on the Google Voice command
Whilst not the most polished final product, I was incredibly happy with how it turned out!
