Mycroft Hue and Irsend skills demo

Mycroft is an opensource, openhardware voice assistant/AI similar to an Amazon Echo or Google Home. You can read more about it here: https://mycroft.ai/

I have developed two skills for Mycroft, one of which allows users to control devices via lirc's irsend (https://github.com/ChristopherRogers1991/mycroft-irsend),
 the other allows users to control Phillips Hue Lights (https://github.com/ChristopherRogers1991/mycroft-hue/blob/master/README.md)

For my lirc setup, I'm using an Iguanaworks USB transceiver https://www.iguanaworks.net/products/usb-ir-transceiver/.

The lights are the Gen 1 Phillips Hue Lights: http://www2.meethue.com/en-us/

I am not affiliated with Mycroft, Iguanaworks, or Phillips, and am not receiving any kickbacks for this video, or for linking to them above.
