    Any Luck with Alexa/Jon00 Helper?

    Has anyone had any luck getting this PI to change channels using Alexa, possibly with the help of Jon00's outstanding helper script?

    bonus points if you post a screenshot/ini snip from Jon00's Helper.

    I am with a Global Cache pro... what hardware were you intending on using?
    Of course Jon's helper is key along with a bit of scripting...

    Need a bit more info for your desired implementation.

      I was hoping to use UltraTivo. From the web page I can type in a channel number and change channels. I just haven't had much luck triggering through Alexa using Jon00's script.

        I would suggest contract Ultrajones. If you can pass a parameter to the PI, then it would be fairly easy. As I use GCP, I have to run through a for loop in a script since the plugin uses a single CAPI command for each digital.
        PHP Code:
         Sub Main(ByVal Parm As String

                
        Dim Digit As String "" 

                
        For Each c As Char In Parm 
                    Digit 
        "DIGIT " 
                    hs
        .CAPIControlHandler(hs.CAPIGetSingleControl(731,True,Digit,False,False)) 
                    
        hs.waitsecs(0.2
                
        Next 

            End Sub 
        So If I want to change my Fibe box to 1201, the CAPI commands executed would then need to go through the dropdown options for the DIGIT 1, DIGIT 2 DIGIT 0, DIGIT 1.

        As I don't use UltraTivo, I'm not sure how it works. I can't find the info on the documentation I found.
