Hi all,
A few days ago I added a script to the User Contribution library called iMessage/Messages/Siri Indigo Control Script. This is actually a script for the Messages application that provides a link from Siri to Indigo. This allows Siri to send a text message (SMS or iMessage) to control Indigo in a very flexible way.
The script is working amazing well for me. I love being able, while driving home, to have Siri "Tell Indigo to raise the temperature". Or, when I get up in the morning to "Tell Indigo to turn on the Christmas Tree." The response is almost instantaneous; the script is executed by the time Siri announces that the message was sent. There is also no impact on CPU utilization that I can see.
It's very easy to modify the script and the changes take effect immediately. Commands can be generic actions to control devices and execute action scripts. Or the script can specify specific actions triggered by custom phrases. It's easy to add customize the commands for your setup simply by copying and changing the existing Applescript statements. I keep an alias of the file on my desktop and click on it whenever I think of something else I would like Siri to do.
Anyway, I'm curious whether anyone is interested in using this simple method to control Indigo from SMS/iMessages and Siri. If so, please let me know what does or doesn't work for you and I could modify the sample script and instructions as necessary to make it easier for others. I'm also curious if anyone has tried it with Indigo 6.
Thanks and happy holidays!
