Show HN: I record myself on audio 24x7 and use an AI to process the information

Mycroft.AI

It's incredibly easy to do (caveat - at least if you're familiar with software dev already). Most thermostats are literally just digital thermometers that control a relay that turns the furnace/ac on and off. A simple arduino (or much cheaper IC) can easily do the same thing if you wire it in. And then on the software side... there's several large, open-source projects that exist in this space and provide nice api tooling for interacting with those devices. Things like: OpenHab: https://www.openhab.org/ HomeAssistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/ HomeBridge: https://homebridge.io/ etc... Even Alexa has basically drop-in self hosted alternatives like Mycroft: https://mycroft.ai/ or ADA/Almomd (now Genie) https://genie.stanford.edu/ It's not only true - I strongly suspect you can do it for much less than 50 bucks if you don't need the physical thermostat to have buttons/screens.
