- One of more LightwaveRF devices and a LightwaveRF WiFi Link!
- This plugin does not require a Jailbreak and any settings made can be fully reversed/uninstalled if required.
- This plugin is neither developed, nor endorsed by lightwaverf.com, do not contact them about problems or issues you encounter with this plugin. If you're having problems with the plugin, open an issue on github.
Install SiriProxy. Some instructions for doing this on a RaspberryPi can be found here: http://www.hometoys.com/emagazine/2013/02/siri-home-automation-integration-from-start-to-finish-brpart-2--raspberry-pi-installation/2090
Edit the SiriProxy config file (~/.siriproxy/config.yml) so that it contains the following lines, e.g.
- name: 'Lwrf'
git: 'git://github.com/ianperrin/siriproxy-lwrf.git'
To support the ability to update rooms and devices from the LightwaveRF servers, add the lwrfemail and lwrfpin options to the SiriProxy config file (~/.siriproxy/config.yml), e.g.
- name: 'Lwrf'
git: 'git://github.com/ianperrin/siriproxy-lwrf.git'
lwrfemail: '[email protected]'
lwrfpin: '1234'
To view debug information, set the debug option to true in the SiriProxy config file (~/.siriproxy/config.yml), e.g.
- name: 'Lwrf'
git: 'git://github.com/ianperrin/siriproxy-lwrf.git'
debug: true
Re-bundle SiriProxy, e.g.
cd ~/SiriProxy
rvmsudo siriproxy bundle
rvmsudo bundle install
rvmsudo siriproxy server
Test the plugin by saying the following command:
"Test Lightwave"
Siri should respond by saying something like:
"LightWave is in my control!"
Siri should also display the path of the LightwaveRF Gem config file, e.g.
"LightWave is in my control using the config file ~/root/lightwaverf-config.yml"
Use this path to edit the config file so that it contains the correct host, rooms and devices for your LightwaveRF setup, e.g.
sudo nano ~/root/lightwaverf-config.yml
If you have uploaded your LightwaveRF database to the server and set the lwrfemail and lwrfpin options in the SiriProxy config file, your rooms and devices configuration can be automatically updated by saying the following command:
"Update my Lightwave data"
Turn devices on/off by saying things like:
- Turn 'on' the 'light' in the 'lounge'
- Turn 'on' the 'lounge' 'light'
- Turn the 'light' in the 'lounge' 'off'
- Turn the 'lounge' 'light' 'on'
Dim devices by saying things like:
- Dim the 'light' in the 'lounge' to '50' percent
- Dim the 'light' in the 'lounge' to '50'
- Dim the 'lounge' 'light' to '75' percent
- Set the 'lounge' 'light' to '75'
- Set the level on the 'lounge' 'light' to '75'
