Got Siri Working with HomeSeer!

[X10joe]

OK. That worked. Lets see whats next. I will update soon.

[X10joe]

It's works.

[X10joe]

OK. I got back "Siri proxy is up and running". Then I realized I skipped this step:
7. Run Bundler
rvmsudo siriproxy bundle
8. Start the server
rvmsudo siriproxy server
I ran those commands and did not get the "Starting SiriProxy on" message.
What's next?

I have edited the siriproxy-example.rb file to include this statement:

listen_for /Bedtime/i do
say "You got it Jay"
end

request_completed #always complete your request! Otherwise the phone will "spin" at the user!
end

However, siri doesn't recognize it. The other example statements it does recognize. Is there something I'm doing wrong. Is there a different way I should be editing that file. It's like the server doesn't even see the phrase bedtime and in fact it comes up as no matches.

[brianjhomeseer]

The spacing in the file makes a big difference - try this:
<2 spaces here>listen_for /Bedtime/i do
<4 spaces here>say "You got it Jay"
<4 spaces here>request_completed
<2 spaces here>end

[jayman13]

I happened to have it just that way as I lined it up with the others and it still ignores my request. There's gotta me something minor here I'm doing wrong.

I'm at about the same point. I got the message "Siri Proxy is up and running" w/o the bundling because I was using the downloaded fully configured VMWare Appliance and the Step 7 Bundler action appeared only inthe Main Install portion of the instructions.

I think my problem has to do with the DNS pointing. Is the only change to put the virtual machine's IP address in the DNS position of the phone's Wifi settings? Do the other addresses already there remain? It doesn't seem to make any difference. Siri proxy server doesn't respond when I do the testing...

[X10joe]

I made a similar change in the example file and it was like it wasn't there. I restarted the virtual appliance and the change was there. So there must be a way or command to update the file with out a restart.

I also could not do a sudo reboot, sudo halt or anything. I had to force a restart of the VM player - thats not good.

[X10joe]

Does the siri proxy server have to be stopped (some how) to reboot ubuntu? Is there a GUI with this preconfigured package?

I've tried everything editing that siriproxy-example.rb file. Can anyone confirm that editing it works. I've tried changing the spacing, removing the plugin from the config file and then readding it, removing the file, editing and them replacing.

Yes, just change the dns address to the virtual machines after installing the certificate on the phone. Leave the rest of the addresses alone. Trying restarting the dns command on the vm. Also, i found rebooting my phone worked.

You need to read part 1 it tells you exactly what to do after changing the config file

I use sudo halt all the time

Worst case do su -
Then reboot

Hey Mark, any advice on changing the example plugin file? I've siri proxy updated after changing a number of times. The proxy responds appropriately to what you already have in there I just can't add anything without it ignoring it...

jayman13,
Looks like you have an extra "end" in the middle after say "You got it Jay" - remove that and try again.
