iphone HAH voice control - SIRI + IOS6??

Definitely works. A minor problem is that when constructing the tweet it capitalises the first letter of the first word. This can be overcome by adding another function to the alias handler applet to deal with it.

Cool trick though!

It's definitely working; saying "tweet thermostat 18.7" to SIRI produces an alias message which resets my CH thermostat. "tweet boost on" sets the boost setting to on, I've even set up a "tweet coffee on" which switches on RF 3 which has the coffee machine attached!

One of the limitations of twitter is that you can't tweet the same message over and over again, so the thermostat is not a problem because you can just change it in .1 of a degree increments. coffee machines and  boost functions are slightly different. I'm not sure what the interval parameters are for repeating the same tweet but it is certainly hours and possibly more than a day. So lights on and lights off could probably only be done once a day each. But I'm sure people can come up with novel names for the same thing in the alias handler.

I'm really new to twitter (just set it up to do this) but the tweet which was sent this morning is still there on my twitter page. Perhaps there's something I've missed in the set up. I'll have a look.

Sounds likely, I'll experiment in the next few days.

And it is picking up twitter

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF00D900
class=alias
source=dbzoo.livebox.Twitter
}
command
{
text=printers off
}

Butit does nowt here is an rf command send from Joggler:-

xap-header
{
v=12
hop=1
uid=FF00DBA0
class=xAPBSC.event
source=dbzoo.livebox.Controller:rf.1
}
output.state
{
state=on
displaytext=printers on
}

is there some sort of aliasing i am missing?

This is my AliasApplet.lua (lokks gibberish to me :) )

--[[
Alias interpreter

Use to perform actions based on xAP alias class messages emitted by
both xap-twitter and xap-googlecal
--]]

module(...,package.seeall)

require("xap")
require("string")
rex = require("rex_posix")

info={
   version="1.0", description="Alias Interpreter"
}

pat={
    [rex.new("(relay|rf) ([1-9]) (on|off)")]=function(m) rfRelayCmd(m) end,
    [rex.new("tweet (.*)")]=function(m) tweet(unpack(m)) end
}

function sendBscCmd(target,body)
  xap.sendShort(string.format([[xap-header
{
target=%s
class=xAPBSC.cmd
}
output.state.1
{
id=*
%s
}]], target, body))
end

function tweet(msg)
  sendBscCmd("dbzoo.livebox.Twitter","text="..msg)
end

function rfRelayCmd(t)
  local addr1,addr2,state = unpack(t)
  sendBscCmd(string.format("dbzoo.livebox.Controller:%s.%s",addr1,addr2),"state="..state)
end

function aliasEngine(frame)
  local alias = frame:getValue("command","text")
  for r,f in pairs(pat) do
      if type(r) == "string" then
         if r == alias then
            f()
         end
      else
        p={r:match(alias)}
        if #p > 0 then
            f(p)
        end
      end
  end
end

function init()
  local f = xap.Filter()
  f:add("xap-header","class","alias")
  f:add("command","text",xap.FILTER_ANY)
  f:callback(aliasEngine)
end

That sorted it :)

now to train wife :)
