Please note that garage_open is the function we want to trigger with this POST request. The task will send an HTTP request and the profile will be the "thing" (for the lack of a more appropriate term) that we can call from Autovoice. In Tasker we need to create a task and a profile. Go ahead and install the three required apps in your phone. However both have 7 days trials, so you can try them all you like before having to decide to pay for them. Google Now is free, Tasker and Autovoice are paid apps. With AutoVoice you can create specific voice commands and react to those commands using tasks. In this particular example the HTTP request will be sent to the Particle Cloud api, but if you have other hardware and they can receive HTTP requests, you are in business.įor sending commands to our projects we will need three apps: The easiest way to do it is using AutoVoice plugin of Tasker. Once we say something (example "open garage"), we will intercept the voice command and send an HTTP request to our hardware. In a nutshell, we will speak the magic words "Ok Google" or tap on the microphone of the Google app so our phone goes in listening mode. The project I will use as example will be my Garage Commander. Like Tasker, it's a pretty powerful tool in its own right.

If you know how to do this in iOS (ie using an iPhone) please leave me a note below. For those unfamiliar, AutoVoice lets you use the Assistant to trigger additional commands from external services like Tasker and IFTTT. In this article I will explain how I talk to my projects, and you can easily do the same*. Do you dream about picking up your phone and sending voice commands to your hardware?
