Title: X10 Voice Commander
Post by: gg4000 on May 01, 2012, 07:39:46 PM

What do you think about this app?

I've attached a file for the Airpads that can't reach the market.

Ok... the "demo" is a free download. How much does this cost?

The app is currently listed at $1.99 on Google Play, Amazon, & Slide Me.

Thank You!

I am currently using BVC (http://www.wgjohns.com/bvc.htm) for voice control of my setup. I've also heard/read about the PocketAudio Microphone (http://www.androidblip.com/android-apps/pocketaudio-microphone-199162.html) which would allow me to speak directly to my Home Automation PC using the tablet as a microphone (and use my BVC (http://www.wgjohns.com/bvc.htm)).

Melloware is well known and I am sure this is good product. I feel confident that these new(er) software products along with cheap Android tablets will be a bonus for our HA setups. Voice Control, touchscreen(s), voice alerts (talking home), These are the things HA dreams are made of.

I just downloaded Pocket Audio. It works OK with BVC. I also use Virtual Audio Cable, so I can still use my Mic and Pocket Audio at the same time. :)%

I am confused. You mentioned Pocket Audio (http://www.androidblip.com/android-apps/pocketaudio-microphone-199162.html)..... but then you added a link for X10 Voice Commander (a different app). It is the Pocket Audio (http://www.androidblip.com/android-apps/pocketaudio-microphone-199162.html) that your using to talk to your BVC.... right?

I use both. X10 Voice commander talks to X10. Pocket audio talks to BVC.

Thank you for sharing these with us!

I downloaded the trial version of X10 Voice Commander. It didn't seem to understand me as well as I had hoped/expected. This surprised me as the google voice on my droid tablet works well for Internet searches. I will keep trying/testing. The tablet itself is a fine piece of automation. Always ready in a flash using no measureable amount of electricity. Intergrating it with my X10 will be frosting on the cake.

It's working great on my Droid X. I love pulling up to my driveway after work and say "gate open" and the gate opens. :)%
Is your tablet the Airpad? Just wondering how it runs, screen size and all that, on the Airpad. Cause I just might buy one.

Attached is a Android apk of a little app I just whipped up.

It has a box for a cam view, and a button for the X10 device you want to control.

A visual status of your device being turned on.  :)%

It uses the same server as the X-10 Voice Commander.

I added it to Google Play.
