Email rule to automate Indigo applescript- but I need SPEED!

Hello Everyone,

I have setup an rule from within the Apple Mail.app.
When an email is received with certain subject it triggers an applescript like turn off lights.
I have set the Apple Mail.app. to check mail every 1 minute which is working fine, but you still have to wait up to a minute.

Is there a faster approach of sending a command to Indigo from a smartphone?
or
Is there a faster approach of sending a command to the Mac to activate an applescript from a smartphone?

How about the Indigo web server pages?

Hello Jay, and thanks for the reply.
I was hoping to create a few voice commands on my Android device that would send an email to the Apple Mail.app.
I have used the web server pages to tap on icon to turn on/off device, but I cannot trigger an auto command from there.

Wasn’t sure if I could send a remote shell script to the Mac to trigger an applescript.
I just need a little brain juice to get me up to speed:)

You can execute any action from the IWS web pages - just create an action group that has the actions in it. Then tap the action group in the Actions section of the IWS pages.

Not sure what you're using on Android to map the voice command to something else, but another option is to use the RESTful API to send the command once you've interpreted the voice command.

Thanks Jay.

The Indigo RESTful Overview may serve useful!

I'm using these two Android apps.
For the voice control: Utter

For the task: Tasker

1. Taking Indigo RESTful for a spin. How would I set this in motion:

Code: Select all

curl -X PUT -d isOn=1 http://192.168.2.15:8176/devices/Coffee-Table-Light

Where would I put the above code for testing

2. How would I send a command to Indigo via javascript to turn on/off device?

In a Terminal window. Or you can use the URL form (see below) in a browser - probably easier. The doc I pointed to above has examples for both using the curl command line tool and the URL to use from anything that will open a URL (browser, etc).

2. How would I send a command to Indigo via javascript to turn on/off device?

The example above turns on/off a device. Most likely you'll want to use the URL form:

http://127.0.0.1:8176/devices/office-lamp?isOn=1&_method=put

I don't know how to open a URL in javascript but I'm sure a quick search will tell you.

Thanks again Jay,

Always a pleasure!

Take a look at cujo, very easy to use: http://cujojs.com

Thank you roussell!

Thank you roussell!

Sure, forgot to mention that cujo is modular, so you can use just rest.js from the package if you only need that functionality.

Nice
