VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Re: Wifi2IR help please

« on: February 12, 2017, 12:34:53 PM »

Hi James,
Ok, I have got the iLearn to pick up the on button for my TV. Then I saved it and re sent it back to my TV and it worked.
Now.. I had the TCP plugin enabled from the start.. do I have to configure it in any way for the IR stuff to work.

I used it when I was creating a port forward and it made it really easy having the simple web page.. ready to 'have a stab' at the amazon echo dot (That's the next project)...lol

VoxCommando Basics and Core Features / Wifi2IR help please

Hi all,
I recently purchased the Global Cache WiFi2IR and although it was a pain to set up - windows 10 does not allow Ad Hoc networks and  your router has to be 2.4G and 802.11b.. it's now actually connected to my network.

I have downloaded James's group code and changed the IP to the one assigned to my iTach.

I get as far as telling it I want to learn buttons for my TV
followed by learn button Power..
but when I press the power button after VC's response of Press power button... absolutely nothing else happens.

I MUST be doing something wrong, or have missed an obvious step in the set up.
The History after the OSD ShowTextready.press Power is
event iTach
event in group: iTach learn payloadXML
doing IF: (A) contains(B)
VC.StopMacro

and that's it.
Any help would be extremely appreciated
Thanks
Wal

Hey.. thanks so much for the reply and the information.
It's difficult starting out with VC as you kind of know what you want, but not a way to achieve it that is quick, scalable and easy.

Getting the lounge lights to come on at all was a great step forwards for me, but it just leads to the inevitable.. 'is there a better way to do this'...lol

I can test these methods as soon as I get home.

Once again, thanks so much for your help

I am currently integrating RAKO lighting into being voice controlled. I am fine with getting the lights to work by using a launchCMD and issuing a wGet "Rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=5&com=3" which would light the lounge with scene 1.

what I would like to do is have the following for example

Lounge sc 1 "Rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=5&com=3" - make the lounge cosy
Lounge sc 2 "Rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=5&com=4" - make the lounge darker
Lounge sc 3 "Rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=5&com=5" - make the lounge brighter

Dining  sc1  "Rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=6&com=3"    as above etc for all rooms
Dining  sc2  "Rakobridge/rako.cgi?room=6&com=4"
etc.. etc

then depending on the voice command issued the action would be a wGet with the appropriate text for that room and scene. would this be a payload sort of thing? and if so, can you issue a LanchCMD with just wGet {1}, wGet{2} etc

Or.. is this best achieved another way? mapping?

Thanks to anyone reading this
Wal
