MIT student Dheera Venkatraman has developed a new way for users to wirelessly unlock their doors with simple Google Now-like commands.
The Maker created an app — which is aptly dubbed “Sesame” — via Google Now that lets those adorning an Android Wear watch on their wrist to utter the words “OK Google, Open Sesame” to open a door. That is, of course, after the door is rigged with some “simple yet trivial” hardware.
To bring this idea to life, Venkatramann modded his door with an Arduino Uno (ATmega328), a Bluetooth module and a servo, which allows the lock to be activated via its accompanying app. The servo is attached to the door latch, while the Bluetooth module awaits a trigger signal and communicates with the Arduino over serial. Once the process is complete, the Arduino activates the servo to open the door.
Android Wear app lets you unlock doors by actually saying “open sesame”

I need some help with a code for Arduino Uno. My projects will be one Arduino 3 servos 1 bluetooth. i will be using the servos to open mini blinds. i want to control them with app using my android phone. if possible I’m trying to use app that can be label each knob on the app if possible “blind 1” “blind 2” “blind 3” if this is possible. The only one thing is running the wires from the Arduino to the servos will just make it look messy, so i was thinking one servo wont be that hard which will be with the main unit with the Arduino also attach to one blind, getting to the other 2 blinds the wire would be exposed. Is there away to use xbee with a battery supply connected directed to the servo and xbee just to control the servo or will that be skippy for the servo? If the wire being exposed the most effective way then thats ok. give me your thoughts please anything helps. My strongest field is machanical so i know how to research and development very well the codes get me everytime so with your help i can easly get this project complete. If you can when writing the code just put notes in the code what wires go where.
please email me asap
