The run.py script indicates this is running on a Raspberry Pi to read GPIO pins i.e. you could literally just hook up a button to a GPIO pin and train your dog to stomp on the button.
It was meant purely as a joke. Even if I built the most elaborate notification system in the world - she basically runs the show. I did a doggy version of 23andme, she is 30% Siberian Husky and 6% Belgian Malinois so the line is blurred between sweet loving companion and psychotic girlfriend.
Don't worry, I didn't take you too seriously. But seeing as this is HackerNews, IMO half the fun is coming up with solutions to 1st world "problems" ;)
Was this meant to be cute, or are you actually just telling the world you have a large, therefore dangerous, sled dog, and you haven't trained her? She "runs the show"?
The "psychotic girlfriend" side of untrained large dogs has been known to maul children.
That is quite a conclusion you’ve leapt to. Meant to be cute here. Obviously I run the show, I’m the one who pays the bills and feeds her. But she’s surely not afraid to let you know when she wants something, and doesn’t particularly care if you’re busy with something else.
For the record, most sled dogs are not very large and not particularly aggressive.
