Sending commands to a webserver

[vmail]

Hi, this command works but it keeps creating new instances of internet explorer (hidden) and I cant terminate them in task manager, after a while I run out of RAM.

Code: [Select]

<command id="258" name="Right" enabled="true" alwaysOn="False" confirm="False" requiredConfidence="0" loop="False" loopDelay="0" loopMax="0" description="" >
            <action>
                <cmdType>Launch.Hidden</cmdType>
                <cmdString>C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe&amp;&amp;http://127.0.0.1/Samsung/samsungremote.php?key=RIGHT</cmdString>
                <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
            </action>
            <phrase>tv right</phrase>
        </command>
Is there a way I can open port 81, send some data, when data is received back then close port 81? I know what HTTP data I need to send.

If you don't need to see an actual webpage then you can probably use the Scrape command.  Put your url as the parameter.  No IE required.  You could probably also use the robobrowser plugin.

Thank you, That worked

Can I setup a tree system, eg

if I say "Control TV", and then later I say "Menu" it send the menu command for the TV

then if I say "Control Sky", and then I say "Guide" it sends the guide command to the sky box and not the TV

a bit like an interlock in crestron

Also, where is the iPhone app?

You can turn groups of commands on and off.
see:

Code: [Select]

VC.EnableGroup
VC.DisableGroup
Which iPhone app are you talking about?

There is no "VoxWav" for iPhone, it is only for Android.

what is this?

utoplay=1&rel=0&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer

what is this?

utoplay=1&rel=0&enablejsapi=1&playerapiid=ytplayer

recordpad with a local ftp server running on the same system as VC.  it is a bit convoluted to set up though.

there is also an app called headset which turns your ipod into a microphone for your PC although I'm not a huge fan of it either because it is always on and eats your battery pretty quickly.

You've right, this is a iOS app but this one have a big delay.
If you want use a iOS device with VoxCommando, the best Wifi Mic for iPhone/iTouch or iPad is "mobilio headset" form the app store.
