I've got VoxCommando set up in a home theatre computer that is resident in a utility room. I am currently using my Android phone with the VoxCommando app to control the home theatre computer. My wife has a laptop in her office in the house and there is another laptop in our kitchen. I'd like to be able to send voice commands from each of those two laptops (using the built-in microphones) to the home theatre computer. Is this possible?
Hi Snodric, yes it is possible to send commands to VoxCommando on a other machine, but it depends on
some important things and it is very experimentally. I will show you how it is possible - but this way was never originally intended (I think only for EventGhost)
Here a example:
1. Open on the Laptop1 the VC editor and create a new group "send command test" and insert a "new command" make a double click on the "lightning symbol" to open the command editor. Create a "action" how you will see it in the follow picture.
In the "EventGhost.SetIP" action type the
IP-adress of your HTPC - in "EventGhost.SetPort" action type default port (
33000) and as last in the "EventGhost.Send" action - type
VC.TellVox.

2. Create a payload "phrase only" with all your command phrases (which you need) by your self (I don't know how we can import phrases from a existing xml file).

3. save all and restart VoxCommando
Thanks James for the tip with the "SetIP-action" this makes all easier
take care - this is experimental - figured out by my self. If you have any question let me know
