Bug Reports / My Microphoe Keeps Muting.

« on: September 27, 2015, 11:32:01 AM »

I just upgraded to VoxCommando version VC 2.2.0.7 and I'm using a 5 C-Media USB Microphone. Before the upgrade I'll admit I was using a pretty old version of VoxCommando VC 2.1.2.9 but now that I've upgraded to the latest version my microphone keeps muting it's self and changing the microphone level to 0... Any idea why this would be happening? I'm sure it's an easy fix but I've spent 2 hours trying to figure it out and searching this forum. Thank you in advance for the help.

WMC / Live TV Mode

« on: January 27, 2015, 09:32:44 PM »

Quick question and I hope this is where I needed to place this question. In my bedroom, while running WMC in Live TV Mode I can ask Vox what the weather is like and it will respond via TTS with no issues. In the living room I try to do the same thing and there is no TTS audio until I escape out of Live TV mode. I'm sure it's a dumb setting and I feel dumb for even asking this question but I can't seem to figure it out.

Thanks for your help.

Vera Home Automation Controller / Home/Away modes?

« on: January 01, 2015, 07:07:20 PM »

I have searched for this on the forum but maybe I missed something... Can (or is there away) for VC to know if Vera is in home or away mode? Just wondering, thank you guys for time.

Other Plugins / Google Calendar???

I've had this plugin working for months now (VoxCommando 2 1.9.5.5) and all of the sudden today I'm getting a connection error. I even upgraded to the 2.1.2.1 version thinking that was it and still a connection error. Anyone else having this problem?

What is a good microphone for speech recognition? / A really really good mic!

« on: June 05, 2014, 10:51:49 PM »

I always see discussions about mics on here so I figured I'd pass this along. I just ordered a CAD Audio U7
USB Tabletop/Boundary microphone for the master bedroom and bathroom in my house and it works perfect! I was able to find these mics on ebay for like fifteen bucks and they are amazing. I'm able to walk back and forth between both rooms without any issues (well minus the shower). Here is a link so you can find out more about them: http://www.amazon.com/CAD-U7-Desktop-Condenser-Recording/dp/B001AIQGTK

I'm loving Voxcommando.

General Discussion / I just wanted to say...

« on: May 09, 2014, 11:06:46 PM »

I'm sure you've heard this a million times but VoxCommando is amazing! I've been able to totally automate my home using this software because of it's user friendliness, wiki pages and youtube videos as guides, and this forum to help as a reference.

Thanks again!

General Discussion / Setup Bluetooth Mic

« on: April 18, 2014, 09:54:16 PM »

Like I've stated many times... I'm pretty new to all of this stuff.

I've got a mic setup using VC1 already and would like to be able to use a bluetooth device at the same time if I travel to another room. How is this done? I've seen James do it in a video on youtube and can't seem to figure it out. I've got it paired and the other mic set as the default it just won't seem to hear any command.

Thank you for your time.

Other Plugins / Denon AVR control

« on: March 25, 2014, 10:22:20 PM »

Has anyone tried to control a Denon AVR amp using VoxCommando? Mine is hooked to the net and can be controlled using an App but wasn't sure if it was controllable using VoxCommando much like the Onkyo plugin.

General Discussion / Xfinity (Comcast) Home

« on: March 19, 2014, 11:07:38 PM »

Has anyone or anyone thought of integrating voxcommando with Comcast's basic two camera and a motion detector type system? Just wondering because I saw the Vera motion detector video and would love to have a home alert like that using Xfinity Home... Just kinda wondering if anyone has done this before.

Thanks for all of your help in advance.

Python Scripting / New To All Of This Stuff

« on: March 17, 2014, 10:00:10 PM »

So like the subject says... I'm pretty new to this whole home automation stuff but it's starting to become a hobby of mine. I've got an Arduino Mega wired to a 5v relay board and all of that wired to the lights/fans/ect in my living room. So far I've been able to handle the Arduino coding but the Python Scripting has kicked my butt. Is anyone out there reading this whiling to help me out? I'm a pretty fast learner I just need an example of how my Arduino coding would turn on one of the "Ledpin" using Python and I could write the rest. I can send you my Arduino coding, I could have something wrong in that... I just want to be able to use VoxCommando to turn on my Any help would be awesome and I'd even pay just to get started.

Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Internet Searches

« on: March 14, 2014, 11:28:03 PM »

Is there away or does anyone have a command already setup to have voxcommando do an internet search? For example if I wanted to find out as much info as I can about "James Brown" I could just say "Can you gather info on James Brown for me?"

I'm pretty new to this so be nice. Ha!
