Integration Ideas / apple watch integration with voxcommando

« on: May 14, 2015, 11:38:56 AM »

Have recently been using an app called "home remote" on ios to enable common vc actions to be triggered from the "today" widget screen.

there's also a matching apple watch app that can be used to trigger any url command as well.

I've spoken with the developer and he's agreed to add functionality that allows the apple watch voice dictation to trigger URL commands.

This should enable voice activation of vc commands from your apple watch via VC's API

feature should be ready in the next week or so

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / connecting vox with sms service

« on: September 07, 2014, 12:03:00 PM »

I'm hoping to connect vox to the following messaging service for sms integration

http://www.smsbroadcast.com.au/Advanced%20HTTP%20API.pdf

looking at their api i think this should be possible, my questions are -

It appears their api delimts payloads with a single & as opposed to vox which uses &&. I'm not a coder so not sure if this will matter?

Kodi (XBMC) Frodo / Gotham / Isengard / Jarvis / xjson.connect.cantconnect

« on: August 03, 2014, 10:02:44 AM »

have been using voxcommandSP with XBMC 12.3 successfully for some time, however only to send events from vc to xbmc, not vice versa.

Although I can successfuly send commands to xbmc, I can't seem to receive notifications from xbmc.

everytime I run xjson.connect it cannot connect.

when I go into the xjson plugin options and test the connection it is successful.
vc and xbmc are running on the same machine.

could anyone offer some troubleshooting advice?

Feature Requests / Apple Home Kit Development Framework Possibilities

« on: June 14, 2014, 06:44:43 AM »

I understand it's very early days since apple has announced home kit. But is there a possibility this could be implemented to issue commands to VC via it's http server?
If so this would give the ability to control VC from siri which would be nice!

Feature Requests / voxwav bluetooth ability

« on: May 31, 2014, 01:13:38 AM »

Have been testing voxcommando with my full home automation over the past few months. The program itself is amazing and is the perfect solution to a totally voice automated home, however it still has one major shortfall.

after I got voxcommando controlling everything (lighting, climate zones, blinds, televisions, media centers, locks and garage doors) I discovered the one biggest shortfall is the lack of a hands free always on experience.

I've extensively tested every single microphone input method you can think of including voxwav, amulet remotes, skype calls, mobiola headset etc, bluetooth headsets, and bluetooth conference call units.

for a real handsfree experience, the best route is via bluetooth headset, or something similar (like a jabra clipper). The only way to currently do this via skype call, which is not ideal.

I've recently tried the tasker and autovoice setup combined with bluetooth headset and had it triggerd by pressing a button on the headset, which is possibly close to the solution, but not quite there. Unforunately since autovoice isn't searching for the predefined phrases that vc does, it's success rate is dramatically lower (particularly with an australian accent) than if VC was handling the speech recognition.

It strikes me that the best way to achieve this is for voxwav to support bluetooth headsets, allowing a button press on the headset to trigger it start recording and complete and send the recording after a user definable timespan.

I'm not a developer so I don't really understand how complex this request is or isn't - however it would be the ideal way to control VC!

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Issuing commands from irule

« on: March 27, 2014, 09:00:13 AM »

I'm trying to work out how to issue commands to vc from irule. I've read the wiki and searched the article but can't quite work it out..

from my understanding I should setup a network gateway in Irule with the IP address of my voxcommando machine and port 3300 and then simply have buttons to send the commands I want to voxcommando and these will execute.

however the network gateway in irule never seems to connect.

I'd love any advice on how to do this as I've just found voxcommando after building a whole house automation system based around Irule, and Global Cache Itache's and plan to move my entire irule system to run through vox commando combined with multiple conference call devices in each room.

I've managed to get Voxcommando working with all my gear and voice commands nicely, however I'm stuck at getting irule to issue commands to vc..
