Hi. I'm still in the planning stages of my cargo trailer build. I really want to integrate "smart" voice control technology as a key feature.
Said another way, I really want to "Alexa the shit" out of this thing.
I am a software developer by profession, specializing in integrating differing systems with API's, so I have no concerns whatsoever about that side of it.
I really have no clues on the hardware side though. I know I can buy off the shelf components for some parts such as specialized AC outlets, but don't know where to start for customized implementations.
For example, i have been looking at "See Level Tank Monitoring system" for my grey and fresh water monitoring system. My sense is that this product has a tank sensor has a single wire that leads to the display unit.
My question is, what is my first step in learning how I can listen to and interpret what that sensor is communicating? I assume the solution would be some combination of Rasberry PI, Arduino and Dyson Sphere technology, but I just don't know where to start my learning effort.
Also, i really don't want to have to learn this stuff and would be thrilled if someone reading this who has hardware expertise would be interested in a joining their knowledge to my software knowledge in a collaborative effort to make something cool.
Thanks in advance for any feedback!
