Shouldn't be too difficult.  I'll look into it.

Very soon there will be a new version of the script posted to my website.  The new version contains an update that will allow you to send multiple commands in one text message.  The new version will also contain a user manual in PDF format.  I wanted to publicly thank shuggins for the creation of that manual.  He did a stand up job in it's creation.

[dbemowsk]

OK, version 0.0.3 of text2x10 has been posted to my website.  The new version lets you send multiple commands in one text message using a comma separated list of commands.  For example, you can now text, @computer ceiling fan on, living room lamp off, a2 on.  There is also a help command, @computer help that sends back a basic syntax of usage for the software. 

This version comes complete with a setup and users guide in PDF format that was created by Scott Huggins (shuggins).  This setup guide gives you step by step instructions on how to get yourself up and running with this quickly and painlessly.

And you get this at the low low cost of .......... well ........... F R E E

Dan (or anyone using text2x10),

I think gmail is blocking the program - as I was unable to get both text2x10 or Starbotcontrol to work anymore.  I keep seeing "unable to log in" messages.  I can log into my google voice account thru web browser just fine, but Tex2x10 and Starbotcontrol cannot.  I know my password is being entered correctly.

I really believe gmail is blocking the programs somehow.....

[cheminge]

I too have added Text2X10 and StarBotControl, but neither one works...

The Text2X10 says it is listening but nothing happens

And the StarBotControl says:
Unable to login, please check credentials and try again.

I have checked the credentials and I am 100% sure it is typed correct.

Is Google blocking access to my account?

Has anyone else seen this issue?

Do I need to make some changes to my Google Voice account?

Please Help!

Just starting up on this, but so far no joy.  I'm getting a similar message:

Code: [Select]

Google Voice text message to X10 translator

Using the following credentials:
GV Username: xxxxxxx
GV Password: *************

Your Google Voice username appears to be invalid.  Google Voice uses your e-mail
 address as the username.I know it's not invalid, so I'm not sure why it's upset.

Also, assuming this can be resolved, if I have google forward my email, won't I be charged a fee?  I have unlimited txt through my carrier, so I just want to verify that GV won't start charging if I request a status.  If so, I could rewrite things to send via an email.

Are you putting in your whole e-mail address as the login for GV, or just the part before the "@" sign?

[bkenobi]

Just the first part as the instructions indicate.  Should I be using the whole email address?  I assumed it would just use the login name/password.  I'm not sure when this program was last working, but I know that Google changed the way logins work at some point recently.  I'm wondering if this code needs a little tweaking to make it work again.

[Noam]

Well, I haven't used it since July.
However, I just tried it now, and it said it was using my full e-mail address.
I tried starting it with just the first part, and it didn't work.
I tried again with the full thing, and it did.

At least it gets to the point where it says "Listening."
I don't have a CM15A hooked up to this computer at the moment, so I can't test beyond that.

[bkenobi]

Ok, great!  I'll try the full email and see how that goes.  Much appreciate the input.   

[shuggins]

I tried it again last night after nearly three months - of quitting on it.  It still doesn't work.  Tried both Text2X10 and Starbotcontrol.   It worked well for me for about 3 months straight and suddenly in late September, *poof*.  No more.  It'll likely just say "Listening" forever...if it's working, it tells you on the dos console that it's receiving texts, and then what it's mapping to the corresponding X10 command you defined that particular text for.

Bummer, 'cause I loved it...used it a bunch while it was working.  I wrote the .pdf manual you can download with the software.

[Noam]

That's too bad. I guess Google changed something in their system.
Perhaps the author will update it again.

[bkenobi]

I was reading various posts about this at other forums and it appears that Google changed the way you login (related to security) a couple months ago.  If I understood PHP, I might be able to tweak it to get it working again, but alas, I'm just a script programmer (AHK, VBA, etc).  I know it must be possible since there are all those iPhone/Android/etc apps that use the same type of stuff.

[Noam]

I think I found the answer, and fixed it.
Based on this thread:
https://github.com/aaronpk/Google-Voice-PHP-API/issues/2 ,
it would appear that Google changed the URL for their login authentication from "www.google.com/accounts" to "accounts.google.com".

There are two references to this URL in the GoogleVoice.class.php file, located in the "includes" folder under your text2x10 folder.

Stop the send2x10 program.
Make a backup copy of the file, and then open it in a text editor.
Change the two references as noted above, and then save the file
Restart the send2x10 program.
Test it.

I just went through this, but without a CM15A connected.
It did receive the text, and it sent me back a text telling me that it worked. I'm assuming that it would work if I actually plugged in my CM15A.

Let me know how it goes.

[shuggins]

Noam!

Awesome!  I tried your changes and, indeed, it (Text2X10) recognizes the texts now - it shows that it's executing an X10 command.  Same boat- no CM19A on this computer- but I will test as soon as I get home to see if the X10 commands are being executed correctly.  dbemowsk is the original author (Dan).  I will email him (I think he's been super busy these days) if this works, and we'll get it onto his website so everyone can grab it.

Stay tuned...

PS: has anyone noticed that you are getting spammed by texts now in Google Voice?  Since I made Noam's change...I see random spams showing up like "want $1450 today? Click here..."...from Text2X10.    Text2X10 will ignore such junk...and it won't affect the app's performance but, was just wanting to see if others see this.
