OK, nerd sniped. I bought an OpenGarage and then saw that it had MQTT integration. So... installed MQTT and got that working. Then asked how hard would it be to hook this up to Alexa and get voice control working? Not…

I had an interesting experience in an Invertebrate Zoology lab class one summer. We students were brought into a lab, given specimens to draw, and the only instructions we received were 'You have 30 minutes to draw…
