Alex Christenson (Electrical Engineer), Ross Reicks (Computer Engineer), and Sarah Huber (Electrical Engineer) attend Iowa State and needed to create a Senior Design project. Ross called his uncle who is an Electrical Engineering professor and has worked in the industry. His uncle shared that his mom is blind and uses the Amazon Echo for listening to books and adjusting her thermostat. He mentioned that it would be great if the Amazon Echo could control her TV. We ran with this idea and realized that this would be a useful Alexa add on for everyone. Please peruse our website and see how the EchoMote became reality.
Please view the PowerPoint slides that we presented at the end of the semester.
