Did some planning

Today, I thought about what I want my lock to look like and do. I settled on a Harry Potter-style clock, one that uses the hand to show information and not just time. I plan on two regular hands for time, and a third one for information. I also plan on using the DFRobot offline voice recognition module to process voice commands. I want the following features:

  • Time
  • Weather (hand points at icons)
  • Temperature using lights at the bottom
  • Can ask for a forecast
  • Upcoming events using a web API connected to a calendar
  • Alarms
  • Battery-powered

Some inspiration:
