Control a Meural™ Canvas with Amazon Echo.

This is a proof of concept to show how a Home Digital Screen such as Meural™ can be a great companion to Voice Control AI systems such as Amazon Echo™. This creates great opportunities for learning, assistive visual responses, PA style planning and more.

The demo uses a particle.io Photon (There are other options you could use too like a 'Raspberry Pi' or 'Electric Imp' to name a few).
