General Discussion / Re: What VC Action can I use?

« on: January 24, 2016, 06:14:44 AM »

I Tinkered with this idea, most people used eventghost. I tried eventghost it worked but It irritated me that I had to run eventghost and other plugins. I wanted evearything to work with vc so what I done is when I give my password or type my password or send it through voxwav it restarts vc thus stopping all actions.

finally I settled on using Dashing and VC since all OpenHab does is giving interface (which Dashing do) and couple of services ...

Yes I like dashing as well. Although at the moment im building my 5 mg pixel pi camera with a hat the measures temp etc, as well as a add on for osd ii support for the canbus of a car.

General Discussion / IBM

i have been researching and watching this platform grow since 2011. It has now reached a usable and integrable platform. I think it is the next big thing and it would be advisable to look at how vox can integrate with it. Just my opinion.

http://www.ibm.com/cloud-computing/bluemix/

It has language and text to speech as well as speech to text. For example.
People as a whole are lasy and tend not to do a search through the forums. As this is an voice recognition program how great would it be to a search by voice. Especially if a database of questions is saved in the way people ask questions.

The first forum that uses speech to text and text to speech by using api keys. IBM is at CES and they gave the opening keynote speech. If you want to watch it it is good and you see there future vision.

no rush ... I am taking it slowly myself ... BTW, I installed Dashing from http://dashing.io/ ... that is what I settled for as UI ... and I believe integrating it with VC will give VC a great UI and feedback interface (ie. having a widget that shows VC state and last recognized command or las t few of them... another showing system volume...etc.)
now I am wondering if I really need openhab ... I mean in a way everything can be done in VC ... though VC is not destined as HA server ... but I think it can handle it due to its flexibility ...

I would love to hear what James, nime5ter, and other hardcore voxteers think

Looks interesting. I will look into this looks cool. Thanks for that it is good to look at all possibilities. I actually use all types by integrating different options into each other. Have a redundant server I can remotely access with Hyper v which runs on server 2012. So i ad virtual instances in linux, windows. I know windows will be the most suited one for most users. I just like tinkering with different models.

But I must add Between all you guys You have the brains so I follow a lot what you say. Peg leg tv... is well Interesting.

just curious, are you going with openhab 2 or openhab?

well im using the linux version as I have rasberry pi with rasbian loaded as os, I am still waiting for my camera and sound module. Still have to buy temp, and humidity hat for rasberry. Once I have everything will set up and let you know. I will use openhab first then try 2. 2 is just a more user friendly UI.
Sorry for late reply.

Hi Sainf,
I started to experiment with openhab last week ... however, I did not make up my mind which way to go ... there few options out there .. and each has points for and points against. for me there are 2 points are must have in any engine ... first is InsteOn support and Bluetooth for presence detection ...

till now my experience with openhab is very limited ... since it does not have a GUI for building up the system quickly ...
anyway I will share any findings....

What operating system you using?

Yeah, there are a few free (and open source) home automation options that should all work with VC because they all have REST-based APIs.

Nodo, here on the VC forum, has posted a number of helpful threads on using Domoticz with VC.

e.g. http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=2405.0

Looks like OpenHab has some pretty good documentation.

https://github.com/openhab/openhab/wiki/REST-API

If you're already using OpenHab, I'm sure other VC users would be grateful if you could post some sample commands using OpenHab with VC.

Not yet am busy loading software onto pi as soon as I test will let you know. Will upload what I use and source.
