RE: A different interface on HA



Doesn't sound odd at all....
 
My house used to be marksautomatedhouse@xxxxxxx...
 
... now, however, it's house@xxxxxxx :-)

Hi,

 

Not sure if anyone has tried this before?   I thought I’d share some ideas I’m having about integrating Home Automation with Instant Messaging.

 

I’ve found a Perl module that interfaces with MSN messenger:

 

http://www.adamswann.com/library/2002/msn-perl/index.html

 

I think this could be an interesting way to interact with the house?    I’m pretty much online on MSN all day at work and at home, so I thought it’d be pretty cool if I could use it for Home Automation too.

 

I’m not the best at Perl, but the site includes a sample script which is easy to modify.    So far I’m impressed!

 

[Mark Harrison] D I’ve registered a new username for the house (how odd does that sound!).   Once the perl script is running the server, the house appears online to me as a user.   From here I can now send commands to the house which can be executed on the server and the responses sent back to me.

 

Using this I should be able to interface with HomeSeer, so I can give a command like “Turn on porch light”.  I should also be able to Interface with Meteor so it sends me an message with the caller ID when I get a call and I’m out.

 

My next step is to interface to HomeSeer through Perl.  Has anyone done this before who can give me some tips?

 

I see a few late nights playing with Perl coming up!

 

Cheers,

 

Nick
