Siriproxy is back!!! (um, functionally)

Wow- Weird that today was the day I was experimenting with running Indigo scripts from Shortcuts over SSH!

There are definitely some lags that are difficult:
“Hey Siri Broadcast”
BLEEP BLEEP
<<pause>>
“All of your base are belong to us.”
<<more pause>>
“ALL OF YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US>>

I guess SSH isn’t any quicker?

I have crafted a simple python script that executes a single Indigo action ("GoToSleep" which turns off all the house lights, TVs, etc).
Thanks

Could you please share the script?

Thanks

I don't own Pythonista's so can someone confirm the functionality is similar to what can be accomplished with SSH?

The biggest difference is that with pythonista the script runs on the phone, not the computer you are connecting to. May work faster that way?

Hope this comes through ok... posting from my phone.

Code: Select all

#!   /usr/bin/env   python2.7
#   -*-   coding: utf-8 -*-

from sys import argv
import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPDigestAuth

#for x in argv:
#   print("Argument: ", x)
#print(argv[1])

#url = 'http://192.168.30.91:8176/variables/API_Test?_method=put&value='+argv[1]

url = 'http://192.168.30.91:8176/actions/SiriGoToSleep?_method=execute'

try:
   requests.get(url, auth=HTTPDigestAuth('myusernamehere', 'mypasswordhere'))

except KeyError, error:
   indigo.server.log(u"restful_api_example.py KeyError: %s" % error, isError=True)

except TypeError, error:

That’s what I’m trying to figure out as well

Guess it comes down to speed of program on phone and web updating of variable with simple web call Vs SSH Auth to the remote computer

The advantage of pythonista is that if you have your python scripts in your iCloud folder on your indigo Mac, you can make changes on the go.
For instance to get my shortcut working I did everything whilst on the train.
That was getting the python script on phone working that set the variable on indigo, and bug fixing the script on my Mac that was triggered by the change in variable.

I also do 95% of my coding and planning on a train
If there is no speed advantage, Pythonista will remain my default.

PS- I started a thread under “ General Home Auto nation” asking if either people were interested in sharing iOS shortcuts, particularly as they relate to Indogo. Hope there is mutual interest!

Update on timing:
Shortcuts(for dictation)-> Pythonista(requests to REST interface)-> Indigo
... under 2 seconds with Pythonista open

Shortcuts(for dictation AND ssh with a command)
... under 1 second

Bottleneck is on iPhone switching to Pythonista.

Note, we've added a new iOS Shortcuts forum to the User Contributions section for sharing shortcuts.

Thanks Jay! Let’s see who winds up there. Hopefully no tumbleweeds.

Well, I discovered a slight issue with using the Pythonista script on your phone. I set up a script/shortcut so that I could open my garage door just by speaking as I approached my house. Everything was working fine while I was outside testing, but when I went in the house nothing would happen...no error, just nothing. During my head scratching my wife turned on some Christmas music. When I tested again...DOH! The HomePod was processing the Siri command and she asked me why her music kept cutting out, LOL.

That’s a freaking amazing bug! One my wife would kill me for, but amazing no less! I thought HomePod automatically shared Shortcuts or something, but I don’t have one. There really should be a thread for complex HA bugs like this.

Just noticed that Pythonista 3 is half price over Christmas down to $4.99/£4.99, dates from now to December 26th so the question, is it worth buying?

Only if you like coding on the go. Been shown to be quicker to use SSH to run the code locally.
