I just finished developing an application that I am calling hsSkype. It is my first VB.NET application. It will eventually become a plug-in but for now it simply sits in the System Tray and allows Skype to notify HomeSeer of some events.
The current functionality is available:
Future enhancements will obviously include HomeSeer triggers and actions.
NOTE: The future of Skype has been brought into question specifically with regards to compliance to standards. I will continue to offer this free app for now and will like go forward with a couple of enhancements but my time with this will be limited. It's secondary purpose was intended to give me the opportunity to use VB.NET. The primary one was to help me disable HS speaking while I am trying to do so .
The current functionality is available:
- The Skype caller name of an incoming call is spoken by HomeSeer
- The Skype caller name is logged when call is missed
- When a call is active, HomeSeer speech is muted and listening for commands is disabled
- When a call is no longer active, HomeSeer speech is unmuted and listening for commands is enabled
- For users that have the LEDAM plug-in installed, the application will display a message on signs using a priority of 5. This function will be removed when the app is ported to a plug-in since a user could set up an event to accomplish this.
Future enhancements will obviously include HomeSeer triggers and actions.
