Create your own Digital Adventure Room
summary
A castle-themed playroom full of IoT devices becomes a scriptable adventure system: a local Wi‑Fi router plus Philips Hue bridge and Amazon Alexa control lights and voice, five Raspberry Pis drive four video screens, and a 64‑node single‑board audio system mixes dynamic spatial sound so a dragon can circle the room. A central script server triggers modules, handles external events, and overcomes Hue latency with streaming updates. Built over two years, it reuses scripts and reliably delights the kids.
