[gstone]

Ok so I got my proxy up and running. works good.

I was wonder if anyone had any example of a commands to just send to home seer turn a device on or off.

Also I would like to know if anyone has been able to pass back data from how seer and have SIRI speak that. Basically like asking if a light is on and haveing a yes or no paseed back for SIRI to speak.

Thanks much!

Any advice on how I can get a proxy up and running on my windows machine?

I would recommend using virtualbox to install SiriProxy in a linux VM. That is the easiest, there are a few guides out there.

Hi guys

I've got this workign on 4 Linux distro's will be posting a how to guide next week. (If I can find the space, I'll also post a working VM). If not, I will give you a link to a 55MB Linux VM download and step by step instructions to have you up and running from scratch in about 30 mins (timed it this evening).

Keep you eye on this thread: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread...71#post1051271

Show status of individual devices via SiriProxy??

Hi gstone, im working on a siriproxy plugin at the moment, and asking for a devices status should be noe problem implementing.

I'm able to see status of separate devices using for example this.
Just entering this into a browser "http://10.10.10.10/tenHsServer/tenHsServer.aspx?t=ab&f=GetDevice&d=K8"
which shows me text on a webpage like this.
"K8:Living room:Living Room Lights:Lamp Module w Status:0:LIGHTS:True:3:0::989::2/27/2013 3.00.00 AM;"

My question is do you know of a way to parse that info if all I want is a certain area like the part that says "True"
I'm trying to incorporate this into a SiriProxy plugin like this for example but i don't know how to get it to read that back.
Here's what I'm trying to do.

listen_for /What's the status of the living room light/i do
page = HTTParty.get('http://10.10.10.10/tenHsServer/tenHsServer.aspx?t=ab&f=GetDevice&d=K8').body rescue nil
reply = JSON.parse(page) rescue nil
say "The status of the living room light is currently #{reply["DON'T KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE"]}"
request_completed
end
