General Discussion / VC Does Not Return to Ready Mode When Computer Wakes

« on: December 05, 2013, 03:03:43 PM »

Recently, I have noticed that when my computer returns from sleep mode.  Vox Commando does not return to a ready state.  I always have to click on the green mic to make it active again.  Is this normal?  If so, is there a way to have it connect and be ready to take commands when the computer returns from wake mode automatically? 

The reason I ask is because there are times when I may issue a command via my ISY to wake the computer from another part of the house and while on the other side of the house, using my plantronics cs60 mic.  I would like to issue a command to VC without having to go over to the computer to activate VC.

Any help with this would be appreciated.

General Discussion / Soft Mute Only if media is playing?

« on: November 29, 2013, 11:25:21 PM »

I have the following greeting setup in VC.  I would like to modify this greeting so that a softmute will only take place if XBMC or WMC is active.  Can someone help me with the logic if this can be done?

Thanks

Command Builder Reference / VC Programming help: using conditional logic to get custom weather feedback

« on: November 21, 2013, 04:10:13 PM »

I would like vc to respond and say something to me based on certain conditions.  For example:  I am looking for vc to tell me "that its really cold outside and i should grab a heavy coat to stay warm".  I understand how to format the text to speech part but not sure how to write the "if then" logic.  Here is what I think I need to program.

If... the current temperature is below 32 degrees fahrenheit
Then... tts "Man its freezin out there! You should grab a heavy coat to stay warm"

I would like the command to be triggered when the pc wakes in the morning.

Any help with the actions and logic would be appreciated.

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Prefix Mode

« on: November 18, 2013, 08:05:16 PM »

Not sure if I placed this question in the right forum so I apologize up front if not.

When I have enabled the Prefix Mode and used the default prefix---commando.  I get the following error message. 

- VC.Prefix.Start
- Cant find command: The given key was not present in the dictionary.

The command was issued while VC is in standby mode.

What am I missing here?

General Discussion / Programming Help

« on: November 12, 2013, 12:21:04 PM »

Hi, Great program.

I am very new to this and am looking for assistance with implementing a command that will fire when I come home.  Here is the idea.

D... I'm home
D... welcome home the time is ... the temperature outside is ... Would you like me to adjust the thermostat?

If yes then speak "ok, I will adjust the thermostat to 75 degrees and will adjust the lighting in the TV Room and Kitchen to 75 percent.  Is there anything else you would like me to do?"
If no then speak " ok, Would you like to listen to music? (From this point on I can use information provided from the example on this forum)

Any help would be appreciated.

To help me accomplish this I am using the following equipment.

XBMC
ISY994 Universal Device controller
Insteon Light switches
Insteon Thermostat
