80FFTs Per Second To Detect Whistles (and Switch On Lights)

New submitter Mathieu Stephan writes "Hello everyone! Some people told me that my latest project might interest you. I'm not sure you publish this kind of projects, but here it goes. Basically, it is a small platform that recognizes whistles in order to switch on/off appliances. It will be obviously more useful for lighting applications: just walk in a room, whistle, and everything comes on. The project is open hardware, and all the details are published on my website." The linked video is worth watching for the hidden-camera footage alone: it would be hard to not keep playing with this sensor.

Re:Multiple rooms

You would run into similar issues trying to control multiple lights in the same room independently,

That can easily be solved. All you need is a switch to decide what light you want to trigger. You could place that switch near the door, so you can do it the moment you come in.
