Over the last year or so I have developed an IRC bot to work with the chat service of twitch.tv, providing user engagement functionality. I would like to expand my knowledge of the practical application of Docker by containerizing the bot, and creating an API and web service to allow people to configure and deploy an instance of the bot for their own Twitch channel.

There are several popular ways of controlling home automation with voice today. Amazon Echo and Google Home both allow users to control lights, speakers, etc. with a simple voice command. For this project, I want to replicate some of the simple voice commands supported by projects like those, but in a way that does all processing from within the local network, and doesn't upload any voice clips to a server outside the home. There's something that feels a little uncomfortable about Amazon or Google having the ability to listen in on all conversations, so I'm trying to eliminate that while still being able to turn my lights on or off by voice.
