Siri hacked to control real-world thermostat – the “internet of things” can talk… plamoni writes –
A demonstration of a proxy for Siri that I wrote. It allows me to control my thermostat when I am at home. Doesn’t require a jailbreak or anything, since it’s all going on off the device. For more information (including the source code), check the GitHub project: https://github.com/plamoni/SiriProxy
Siri Proxy is a proxy server for Apple’s Siri “assistant.” The idea is to allow for the creation of custom handlers for different actions. This can allow developers to easily add functionality to Siri. It responds to commands such as, “What’s the status of the thermostat?”, or “Set the thermostat to 68 degrees”, or even “What’s the inside temperature?”
This is fantastic and glimpse of what is to come.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

Thanks for the post! I’m pretty excited about this project. I hope that others come up with some good ideas on what else to do with it.
The Thermostat control is just scratching the surface. I’ll try to do some more work this week on adding base functionality (getting the user’s location, doing mapping, launching other apps and web pages on the phone, etc).
Wow…this looks very nice! I am waiting on shipment of a 4S from work, and I have the ability to add a nice programmable thermostat, so I am definitely putting this project on my short list 🙂

“I’m afraid I can’t do that Pete.”
This is pretty awesome, but how is the actual speed of controlling it like this?
Are there done any tests on how fast/slow it is to do voice commands with Siri in general, compared to typing?
