Have a litte fun with your smart home. Inspired by Rick and Morty, donutsorelse developed this wearable control…EVERYTHING (well, a lot of home gadgets and whatnot).

Ever wish you could control your smart home like Rick from Rick and Morty? In this video, I show how I built a fully functional “Remote Remote” that works just like Rick’s wrist gadget! With my setup, I can control smart devices from anywhere using WiFi and Blues Wireless connectivity. From turning lights on and off to making the house spooky, this gadget puts the power of home automation right on my wrist.
Using an ESP32, Unihiker, and Flask server, this device communicates with my smart home system through MQTT and OpenAI’s API. It’s even voice-activated! Just say “butler,” and the remote activates, ready to take commands. Plus, when WiFi isn’t available, Blues Wireless kicks in, making this one of the most versatile smart home controllers out there.
