“This Instructable guides you along with me in upgrading a vintage lamp with voice-control using an ESP8266 microntroller and Amazon Echo/Alexa. The Arduino code emulates a Belkin WeMo device using the fauxmoESP library, which makes setup a breeze.For a full primer on the Arduino ESP8266 workflow, check out my free Instructables Internet of Things Class, and check out Paige’s Lamps Class for more lighting inspiration and know-how. If you’re new to Arduino, we have an intro class for that, too.This project uses AC electricity, which could harm you or start a fire— don’t leave this project connected to power unattended, and if you don’t know what you’re doing, work under the supervision of someone who does.”
