Siri and home automation

[joesanunu]

I was just curious if Siri was set up for home automation & asked Siri if she could turn on my air conditioning?

"I don't see anything set up. But I can help once you've set something up."

Interesting.

This may be an important feature on the new AppleWatch. No?

Will Siri & Home Automation be mentioned or demonstrated at the launch event?

So you ask your phone to tell your watch to turn on the air-con?

More like Wifi controlled A/C units and you haven't got any on your network.

I'm contemplating a home automation system and curious if Siri was being programmed for those tasks.

I queried my Siri to see how far they might have come along.

Could home automation be a killer app for the watch I was wondering.

Control your home and car with voice commands into the watch is obvious what's coming.

Not sure exactly what you're saying, but Saijo Denki have wifi + app controlled AC's and word is the Daikin will be releasing theirs soon.

People have been playing with a SIRI home automation bridges for a while now. Problem is that APPLE keeps messing with the interfaces and breaks it on every update.
