    Got Siri Working with HomeSeer!

    Hi All

    I'm currently writing up how to get Siri working with HomeSeer. I can now use my iPhone to run any HomeSeer event (just the start). I now have it working on 4 different Linux distros:

    VMWare - VMWare Applicance (Ubuntu 12.04LTS) - 55MB download!
    VMWare - LinuxMint14 with Mate (Ubuntu 12.10) - 989MB download
    VMWare - Ubuntu 12.10 Desktop - 771MB download
    RapsberryPI – Debian Wheezy - 771MB download
    I also have a fully configured VMWare image that I can share, if I can find a place to host it. All that's required is to set a DHCP reservation (or configure a static IP), edit one file to match and you should be up and running. Looks like it will be about 250MB. The instructions will include everything to start from the 55MB download (No 1 above) to get to this state.
    Hope to have the writeup finished next week sometime
    This is exciting stuff! (First time i depleted my iPhone 5 battery in a day )
    Regards
    Mark

    Looking forward to seeing this. And if you have trouble finding hosting for the image, I'm happy to provide a thumb drive ...being that you're nearby and all.

            Very good. But I am really looking forward to this all the same. Can you use dropbox?

                      Very cool!!!

                      Hope you get this going, my number one problem is getting voice commands to HS from anywhere in my house.

                      This seems like it could be a great solution!!!!!

                        I did see this, but this put me off:

                        It also relies on the only HTTP accessible API i found for Homeseer which works, but is kind a crap since it returns results in HTML format, which need parsing. You need to install TenHsServer on the Homeseer server.

                        Once the proxy is up and running, getting it working with HS is about 15 mins work. It's not bi-direction, but that would probably be doable if you know Siri. That said, I don't think it needs it.

                        Regards

                          Never thought of that. That may do the trick

                          That said, I installed the 55MB VM Ubuntu Appliance I found and timed it from scratch to get it working. Took just under 30 mins. I'll provide every single command (about 20) to get from this bare VM to a working proxy and the common problems and how to get around them.

                          I spent a lot of time on this over the last few weeks. Did Raspberry Pi this, then was thinking about Myth TV so did Linux Mint, then Ubuntu 12.04 and then this 55MB VM. I think I've experienced most of the problems anyone is going to run into and fixed them. Would have loved to get such a small downlaod and guaranteed instructions or option of working VM

                          Will definitely be up next week, as it's also a deadline for a magazine it's going in

                          Think (hope) you'll all enjoy it

                          Regards
