JägerMachine

The JägerMachine is, according to its maker Pegor, “an IoT shot-pouring machine powered by Raspberry Pi 3 Model B+. It features a full GUI that allows the user to configure the device, pour a shot, and also check previous messages sent to the machine. Once paired with its own Gmail account, the JägerMachine waits for emails containing a secret user-defined subject line and a custom message that gets displayed on the screen. Once an email is received, a shot is poured.”

Brilliant. It started as a daft idea for a gift for a friend’s birthday (the pair exchange Jägermeister-related gifts as a joke), and has gone from a boxy design in Fusion 360 to a fully functioning oblivion dispenser.
