And I name thee... HALO

So I’m going to let the rough prototype sit with me for a few weeks now to let it grow on me and give me a chance to use it to see what changes I need to make to a new iteration.

As I said it has no handy switch so the easiest option for me is to integrate it into a smart home setup (I use Google Assistant at home, while the studio has started implementing an Alexa setup for star trek style video drop-ins and a fancy video doorbell)

So I will implement the light into my setup using a TPLink Kasa smart plug.

And I name thee... HALO

So it needs a name to beable to interact with it. I have chosen… HALO… yup this is my Hobby Halo Light! 🙂

Adding plugs and devices to Kasa is a very straight forward process.

And as well as voice commands it allows for all sorts of scheduling and timing options.

Once in Kasa you can then add it to a room in Google Home

Now to control the light all I have to do is say…

OK Google, Turn On Halo.
