How to build your own virtual assistant with SiriControl?

I have always been interested in IoT and virtual assistants and dreamed about having mine. I recently discovered SiriControl and immediately saw the enormous potential of the project. Thank you very much Sanjeet Chatterjee for your beautiful work! This new version of SiriControl allow accents, so you can write some new modules in French for example :)

• Build some packages to trigger your IoT devices (smart plugs…)
