Description

This will be to build an AlexaPi on a raspberry pi 3 as well as install the home assistant application to work in conjunction with Alexa so that I can build custom alexa skills to control the on-board GPIO of the raspberry pi via voice commands.

Details

I will be creating instructables as we go along in this as well as youtube videos and I will upload them here in the details section.
