I can get the result back in XML using http://127.0.0.1:8009/api/results.replace&&{LastResult}&&{var.bedroomlights}

but I unfortunately need just the variable returned, not the XML.

Anyway this would be possible?

I'd been trying using the web api, but couldn't get this to work.

got it working using the TCP.Client - power off pasted below -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<!--VoxCommando 2.2.1.4-->
<command id="-1" name="Actions copied from LCB">
  <action>
    <cmdType>TCP.Client.Connect</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>LoungeBravia</param>
      <param>10.1.1.7</param>
      <param>20060</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <action>
    <cmdType>TCP.Client.Write</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>LoungeBravia</param>
      <param>*SCPOWR0000000000000000\x0A</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
  <action>
    <cmdType>TCP.Client.Disconnect</cmdType>
    <params>
      <param>LoungeBravia</param>
    </params>
    <cmdRepeat>1</cmdRepeat>
  </action>
</command>

I see the response -
<action>
  <actionString>vc.tellvox&&turn on balcony lights</actionString>
  <Success>True</Success>
  <Result></Result>
</action>


how do I load anything into the <result> field?

short explanation - I use VC to control a CBUS system, It can set commands however it cannot query the system to know what lights are on etc (feedback from cbus was too hard). however vc can keep track of what lights it's turned on and off.
homebridge triggers events in vc via the web api, I need to trigger an event that will respond with the current lighting status, ie, 1, or 0.

https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge

have this triggering events in vc via http plugin for homebridge and vc's API

what is the correct method for responding to http get requests with variable data from vc?

Have a sony kdl75w850c and haven't had any luck with either of these methods. I'm thinking it might be an authentication issue? i see from some threads in the irule forum that their needs to be some authentication performed to get irule working - https://getsatisfaction.com/irule/topics/sony-4k-2014-tv-ip-control-authentication

not sure if I should be doing something to authenticate vc?

Has anyone got VC controlling a recent Sony Bravia set using IP Control?
If so, I'd love to see?

I've been testing the last few days, and it works really well.

It obviously requires a bit of optimisation of your commands based on what words the watch picks up. for example i have a command "show weather" however spoken to the watch this is always interpreted as "show whether". I also have commands for lighting dimming like "dim living room lights to 20%" the watch's dictation regularly interprets the word "dim" as "diem" (probably due to my aussie accent). But after a couple of days of updating my voxcommando command's to allow for this it's working really nicely!!

I set the base url as http://myadress.com:port#/api/vc.tellvox&& and the app then appends the dictated text to the end.

I'll try and find time to post a video demo soon.

Coooooollllll

By the way I use launcher toward the same end (on iPhone and iPad)

I looked for "home remote" on App Store, could've find it ... Is it JBware?

Yeah, i'd used launcher as well in the same way, but switched to home remote because of the apple watch app.

here's the app - https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/home-remote-home-automation/id926193671?mt=8

the update to the watch app has been submitted to apple for approval so I should receive an invite to test the beta in the next week.

Have recently been using an app called "home remote" on ios to enable common vc actions to be triggered from the "today" widget screen.

there's also a matching apple watch app that can be used to trigger any url command as well.

I've spoken with the developer and he's agreed to add functionality that allows the apple watch voice dictation to trigger URL commands.

This should enable voice activation of vc commands from your apple watch via VC's API

feature should be ready in the next week or so

anybody have a command they can share which demonstrates basic request of current temp or other measurement from a netatmo weather station?

thanks for the update to the tcp client. issue of multiple actions\events is fixed

thankyou! finally all working nicely now through dns.

am using an if statement at the begining of my commands followed by seteventtimer statement at the end of the commands to act as a timer to only allow them to run once every 3 seconds. it's a temporary work around for the mulitple requests issue until it's updated.

Thanks again!

have got it working now that I dropped the / before api

although I only seem to be able to send short messages, with no spaces i.e "api/vc.tellvox&&heat" works but "api/vc.tellvox&&turn on heating" doesn't...
i'm not sure how i should be formatting them in irule.
any chance you could try getting a command like "api/vc.tellvox&&turn on lounge heating" working and show me what syntax you use?

noticed that it sends the request 3 times as well. This also seems to happen if you use safari on ios to access the url (i use this to send visitors links for opening visitor parking doors etc). would be great if this could be solved.

thanks for your help - the same question on the irule forum has been sitting idle for 4 days now

I want to use this for 2 way communication with vox from any phone.

i.e if you send a message from anyphone with an overide phrase. that phone number is then added to a list of accepted numbers.

all commands are then received through an sms event that triggers the text as if it was spoken, and then responds via sms instead of tts.

will let you know how i go, just wanted to see if the delimter would be an issue.

yep tcp plugin working, simple webserver enabled on port 26408.

am successfully sending http requests to vox by typing them into the address bar in a browser, just not from irule, whether it be on my local lan, or outside it.

commands in irule definitely just need to be formated as "/api/vc.tellvox&&blah" there isn't anythign else needed?

I can't work out why it wouldn't be working..
