EventGhost / Enable and disable groups in Event Ghost

« on: September 28, 2016, 06:28:31 PM »

Hi guys. Hope someone can help.
Can anyone explain a method of disabling and enabling groups on event ghost like you can on  vox.

 I have tried using the enable exclusive, but it does a poor job of disabling others in the same macro.  Unless I have not been doing it right. The examples and web forums don't help either.

I want to use this in tandem with vox to disable programs with vox while EG disables remote commands based on what program is focused.  It works at the moment without the feature but it will cause problems in the long run as its limited to only a small  number of remote buttons .
Any help is much appreciated..

Tutorials / Scrape and How to use REGEX

« on: September 24, 2016, 05:00:14 PM »

I have a question regarding the reg ex.
SO i scraped feeds from my local news but when i do that i will get
<title>NEWS 24 | New story uncovered </title>
<title>NEWS 24 | New car uncovered </title>
when i use regex helper. its definitely the XML as they are all like this. so the problem is that headlines will read back
match 1 news 24
match 2 news 24 etc.

Its the same with BBC feeds
http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml#

I get    <title><![CDATA[Junior doctors call off five-day strikes over contracts]]></title>.
Regex then gives me error

Question
A) how do i use regex to get to get the second part of the title
B) how do i get the description that is in the XML. Regex shows no match found when i copy and paste <description>...</description> in the Regex helper.

saw the videos but no info on omitting certain strings

"Open air" and "whole home" microphones / Using ok google(voice search) to answer your all questions

« on: September 10, 2016, 02:59:56 PM »

Hey guys.

 SO i found a way to get ok google(Voice search) to work and its awesome. Especially when looking for videos amongst other things.

What i would like to know if there is a way to ask vox a question and have vox go into voice search. paste the question there then using google to get your answers.

Using samsung smartthings and vox, my home is truly almost fully automated. but the mic is truly an issue.

Also.{i know its a long shot} but can vox detect if only once instant is used. e.g if i put it into my dropbox and have three pcs running but only one vox setup will respond depending on the room

Non-Arduino home-made gadgetry / Smartthings

« on: September 06, 2016, 09:52:12 AM »

Hey guys. So I integrated Samsung smartthings with vox commando and Event ghost to notify me if the garage door opens and closes using events.

Unfortunately eventghost does not detect notifications so it can't tell alert me if the garage has been left open for N amount of time.

How would I write a command to alert me{ if door status not  changed to close every 3 minutes}{ tts.speak}''please don't forget to close the door''
