[ale] [ALE] Stroke and Home Assistant

[Chuck Payne]

Greeting,

Well,  I might be down right now for the next few months, as I try to learn
to walk again. I am not out. This is one old tuff cranky dog,

Feb. 28th, I had a small stroke. I am lucky compared to some of the folks I
was with in the PT center. I learn to the right, this is affecting my
walking and balance. I can't see straight unless I wear a patch over one
eye.

I am refusing to go quiet into the night. I am still trying to do tech.
Which brings me to this email to the group. I asked Ameridroid for a kit
that would get me started with a home assistant. I have a few smart plugs
which work with my google assistant, I can hear the moaning already because
I stated that, but I am looking for things to help me, which I am again
re-learning to walk.

I like to ask, as anyone on the mailing list down anything with home
assistant kits, I got Odroid M1S that came with connect zbt-1, I am
stilling a ton of things I can hook up. I like to replace light switches in
places like the bathroom and kitchen, maybe plugs for devices, but I am
open to anything that might help me.

Beside the easy stuff is anything one does anything like this.

Using a walker helps, but I could ask, "Computer, bathroom on" at 3am in
the morning, instead of trying to walk straight feeling like I am in the
house of funs because my brain doesn't want to walk with me, would be a
major help.

I am a bit lucky that my 20 year old son is living with me, but unless I am
about to fall on my ass or screaming for him to help me, I am pretty much
on my own.
