The TV show Simpsons is ahead of it’s time in so many ways - fans of the Simpsons will remember the Ultrahouse 3000. Now we have the technology to do exactly that, with a few simple gadgets you can turn your house into a ’smart house’. This is the beginning of my journey.

The following 4 ingredients is all you need to turn your house into Ultrahouse 3000: 

1. Google Home Assistant
2. Xiaomi Robot Vacuum
3. Home Assistant software
4. IFTTT web account

In this short video, the voice command ‘Clean House’ is picked up by Google Home, and the XiaoMi robot will start doing it’s thing. Not too sure why there is a lag of 10 seconds, putting that down to my slow Internet at home.

This is just the beginning. Later I will write HOW-TO blogs on how to do all this, and more.
