Arduino support / Re: Arduino Plugin

« on: December 24, 2015, 10:51:12 AM »

Hi Kalle,

I read all the post at least twice, the PY code is there, the arduino sketch is there, if only
somebody help me with the XML code as an example, it will help me a lot

I am pretty new to VC, less than a month using it, 2 weeks as a licensed user

after finish the button testing, i will jump into mysensors to implement it on home automation
i have a little dog as a roommate, some times he is alone most of the day, i have surveillance cameras
to keep an eye on her, but my first goal is to have a monitoring system, to alert me (via email, i have that cover
with VC) in case of fire or flood, i can attach the sensors to arduino, and the arduino can trigger the VC

thanks again

It works (sort of)

It start reading the firs email from "inbox" then it jumps into the "promotions" folder, and
continue reading from there

in the inbox folder i have 4 unread mails, but it only read the first one, and then it
makes the jump

Any idea ?

thank you

Thank you Kalle

I did both examples already (relay control and reading the state of a pin)
but both examples are triggered from VC to the arduino
i am looking for the opposite,
That is, arduino trigger an event in VC

lets say that i have two buttons in arduino, when i press one, i expect VC to trigger an event, lets say
an osd.showtext "button 1 have been pressed", the same for button 2

I learn quickly just modifying examples, for that, if somebody can help me
with the arduno code, the PY code and the XML code, i will appreciate that

thank you again

any help with this ??
an example with:

a PY code, arduino code and xml code for a two button in arduino triggering action in VC ?

thank you

i set up the email in OPTIONS
after that, i restart VC, and IE opens up and ask me for email/password
i input that info, and ask me for a code send it to my phone over SMS
i put that code in, and allows me to see my mail account amd emails in IE
but when i try gmail.getalltitles, in HISTORY shows me "401 Unaothoraized" in orange color

any help ?

thank you

i tried in win 10 and win 7 machines.. the same result "401 unathoraized"

Thank you James

Meanwhile, i am doing a workaround with a software i found

wemocontrol.exe

with this, you can send a command line to turn on.off the switch

it is no the ideal, because you have to load the sofware in the memory,
but it works as a solution, you just have to use the Launch.capture
i did the same with harmony hub

for everybody else, if you want a quick ans easy solution for control your
tv/dvd/fire tv/matricom/ etc etc etc, for me, the easiest is the harmony hub
no remote codes to learn, works almost out of the box, cheap.

thanks again

Thanks for the quick response, James

I am just scratching the surface of VC, and i am very happy with it

I checked mysensors before, and is very interesting too
when i asked for an example of two buttons, i was thinking in a whole example
like what you did with the relays, LED and analog input reading, with
the arduino sketch, the PY source and the XML, and from there, modify as my needs
as i said, i just start digging in VC, can you somebody give me a hand with that ?

so far, what i was doing is modify the examples of the XML to suit my needs,
for me is easiest in that way, than start from scratch.

I also have the amazon echo, and this device is superb on voice recognition, BUT...
it is lacking the functions to "ask" values of sensors, triggers events (you can do it
with IFTT, but takes forever to have a response), and in this field, VC is perfect

Hi James,

I already did the 2 examples for arduino (relays and led/analog), and both worked perfectly,
but in both VC is triggering the accions

Is there a chance for you to post a example for trigger a event or two for buttons in arduino as a
starting point?
my main goal is, for example, if somebody ring the bell on the main door, the arduino can
"speak" a message: "the door bell is ringing", and a osd.text display in the screen
and have another button in the same sketch, for example a motion sensor in the back patio
that trigger a speak and a message on the screen

in this example, can you include the PY code, the arduino code and the XML code?


but, if is this not a big problem, the best could be have a complete example, with a couple of buttons, a couple
of LEDs, and a couple of potentiometres, with the PY, Arduino and XML code

Thank you very much in advance

Daniel

Integration Ideas / Harmony Ultimate Home + Belkin Wemo = a lazy and happy guy

« on: December 19, 2015, 01:33:01 AM »

My setup:

2 hamony hub (ultimare home + smart home)
4 belkin wemo switches
1 amazon echo (alexa)

(2 harmonys, one for the TV in the workshop, the other on the bedroom TV)

sofware :

HarmonyHubControl.exe (to send instructions over a command line)
Wemocontrol.exe (to send instruction over command line, but i dont really used it)
voxcommando 2.x
voxwav on cell phone


Devices:

workshop:
1 westinghouse tv
1 amazon fire stick
1 q-see oem surveillance dvr (connected to the bedroom tv set)

bedroom:
1 vizio tv
1 matricom g-box (kodi)
1 amazon fire tv
(1) the surveillance dvr from the workshop

1 desktop pc win 7 with 2 surevillance microphones attached on parallel audio input
1 touch monitor at the main entrance, so i can control everything over voice or touch

1 dell laptop with windows 10 (i know no why, but the wemo plug in is not working on this, but works
   perfectly on the win 7, any ideas ??

almost everything work very good, i can turn on.off, change channels, etc etc, is actually pretty easy thanks
to the harmony hubs, no remote codes to learn

thing to do:
if somebody ring the main entrance, both tvs change inputs ti surveillance and camera to the main camera
if my phone rings, everything goes muted (bluetooth??)

the problems so far:
VC wemo plug in is not working on the win 10 laptop

i am starting to wet mi feet with VC and arduino and ESP266 wifi module

any questions, fell free to ask

thank you

Daniel
