We wanted to make everything easier and hands free. Imagine being able to turn an imaginary key, and your front door unlocks for you. We accomplished this through interfacing the Myo with an android device. This device then communicates with a server, and a Raspberry Pi polls the server looking for commands to send that it can process at home. It then communicates with a arduino via USB to control a motor that could be used to unlock a door or adjust a thermostat. A large problem with using they Myo to do something like unlock a door is the security. This is why we used an android device, we used the MAC address of the device to verify who is actually trying to control the Raspberry Pi.
