ok. I'm prolly missing something obvious here. Who do I send the text TO so that Indigo receives it? my gmail voice number? The email address I set up in Indigo settings?


You send it to the google voice #. Preferably one you've setup that's dedicated specifically to Indigo.


Got it. Thanks!

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

Has anyone else noticed that the INDIGOPLUGINHOST process stays around 50% while this plugin is running ? Is there any way to calm it down ?

Yes - I let Chris know and I believe he's working on it.

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

Seems like I am getting errors in the log quite often.


Google Voice SMS Unable to login. Please verify your e-mail/password in the plugin preferences
Google Voice SMS Error plugin runConcurrentThread function returned or failed; will attempt again in 10 seconds
Google Voice SMS Logging in to your Google Voice account.
Google Voice SMS Successfully logged in to: email@email.com


So every time it runs it fails to login followed by a successful login. I haven't looked at the code yet but was curious if anyone else has noticed this.

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

Hey guys,

I am trying to get the variable substitution to work, but not having much luck.

One example: I send an SMS that says "security status".
I want the return sms to say "Front door is" {Variable}.

The variable that I am using is called "FrontDoorIs".

In the return SMS, here is what I am asking the plugin to send back:

The front door is %%v:FrontDoorIs%%.

I assume this is a syntax issue.

any thoughts?

Thanks in advance.

It appears the version downloaded from this site is 1.1.0, versions 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 (with the variable capability) are missing. Also I'm seeing a major memory leak from this plugin, after 24 hours I lose approx 800 Meg of RAM.

I added a new thread related to a possible extension of this plugin. What if you could extend beyond "canned" messages and incorporate a python chatbot into the mix?

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

I am having the same problem with displaying the contents of a variable in a SMS reponse.

Any way to do this?

Thanks,
Rob

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

Another question - how do send SMS with data to go into a variable - to update a variable by SMS?

Thanks,
Rob

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

Well, I have set up several triggers to receive SMS from Google Voice. Some work sometimes, some don't work. Even something as simple as responding to a message "Hey there" with "Hi Rob what can I do for you" works sometimes, not others. it registers in the log, but doesn't execute any of the actions.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

I am still scratching my head on the variable substitution.
I may just dive into the plugin code today to see if I can see where/why it is failing.

This is a great concept though. I hope people get behind it!

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

Thanks. It is a great concept. I did get it working (other than with variables) by making sure there were no letters capitalized in the set up.

Really interested in the variables, if it can be resolved.

I just looked at the plugin code and can't seem to find anything that does the variable substitution. Hopefully Chris or someone else can answer this. It would be great if this worked.

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

Plugin writers have to enable variable substitution on the fields they want it enabled on - so Chris will need to implement the substituteVariable method (described in the method tables of the plugin.py documentation).

Re: Google Voice SMS Plugin for Indigo 5 (SIRI support added

As always, thanks Jay!

I think we were confused because on Chris' original post (page one of this thread), it states several times:

"NOTE: You can use the special variable substitution fields in the Message to Send field - see Variable Substitution for more information."

Not sure if this was something he was hoping to accomplish, or if it is implemented but not working properly.
