Technology keeps advancing, and thus the possibilities....

As you may have read, I have been writing my layout control software myself for many years. In the past, I also posted that I had integrated a web server into my software so that the layout can also be controlled using a web browser: http://cabin-layout.blogspot.com/2014/08/browser-based-layout-control.html

Well, that ability meant that it was relatively easy to add the functionality to also have voice activation through the Google Assistant as found on devices such as Google Home, Google Mini and mobile devices. I have now done this and I am thus able to control my layout using just my voice.

I describe it in more detail here:
