Use Siri to control HomeMatic

[tomazmla]

Hello

I own an Iphone and I wanted to control my HomeMatic devices using Siri. After searching I came across a solution named SiriProxy. It allows me to customize actions based on voice commands I make in a very simple way.
What you need:
- Iphone 4s
- Linux server in your network
- Knowledge installing and configuring linux packages

Instead of using dedicated linux server I installed SiriProxy onto my Synology DS211 NAS. These are the basic steps to make it work:
- Install Siriproxy
- Configure local DNS so that it redirects Siri calls to SiriProxy server
- Install SiriProxy certificate in your Iphone 4s
- Create new or customize sample plugin to listen to your voice commands
All steps are documented on SiriProxy page: https://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy.

Example of plugin script (I am using XML API to change variable state):
listen_for /alarm off/i do
open("http://<homematic CCU IP>/config/xmlapi/statechange.cgi?ise_id=2712&new_value=1")
say "Homematic alarm is off!"
request_completed
end

Enjoy!

Hy, hört sich super an, kann es jemand eventuell etwas ausführlicher und wenn möglich eine Anleitung auf Deutsch für etwas weniger versierte Benutzer machen, das wäre grossartig!

Danke schon im voraus

Alternative für ältere Geräte ohne Jailbreak:

Programm Voice Activator installieren. Damit kann man der normalen Sprachsteuerungsbefehle hinzufügen zu Standard-Repertoire.
Innerhalb von Voice Activator dann ide URL eingeben, die bei der CCU aufgerufen werden soll (ähnlich wget).
Funktioniert wunderbar.

Gegebenenfalls mit Hands-Free, dann reagiert der Ipod auf ein Stichwort und ruft die Sprachfunktion dann selbst auf, ohne dass man eine Taste drücken muss.

Liebe Grüße

Hallo Stefan,

VoiceActivator gibt es anscheinend nur mit Jailbreak,

Hi,
in the official Synology Forum i found this step by step Installation Guide:
http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic ... 71#p188371

I follow the instructions, but i have a Problem with the Python ctypes.

Does the CCU fit?

Does the CCU fit?

I didn't try. If you can Install these packages it might:
- ipkg and then:
- ipkg install optware-devel
- ipkg install git
- ipkg install openssl
-ipkg install gcc
- ipkg install openssl-dev
- bash
- curl
- rvm (use this command: curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable --ruby)
- siriproxy (make /root/SiriProxy dir and run: git clone git://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy.git)

Some libraries need to bi fixed (commands I used for Synology):
cp /opt/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib/libpthread-2.5.so /opt/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib/libpthread-2.5.so.bk
cp /lib/libpthread.so.0 /opt/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib/libpthread-2.5.so
cp /opt/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /opt/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/lib
cp /opt/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8 /lib
cp /opt/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8 /lib

Hope this helps
