Changes from Lakritzator fork #6

Open Slion opened 8 years ago

Slion commented 8 years ago

Did you consider merging in the changes from the following fork? https://github.com/Lakritzator/harmony It's rather messy cause he did change a lot of white spaces but still.

Lakritzator commented 8 years ago

Sorry for the whitespace changes, my ReSharper does this... I just made another commit which should have fewer changes.

Slion commented 8 years ago

Have you been testing those changes extensively? Does it make sense to contribute them to the master fork?

Lakritzator commented 8 years ago

@hdurdle I have contact with @Slion and we are working on stabilizing and improving my changes.

As you didn't work on the project for 2 year, we would like to know what your interests in the harmony code are. Bluntly put, do you want to stay the maintainer or would you be okay with giving it away?

I certainly don't want your hard work on getting this working be ignored, we are just wondering where to go with it.

hdurdle commented 8 years ago

I haven't had time to work on this myself - I use it as is in my existing home automation system, and haven't had to change anything.

I'd welcome pull requests or collaborators on this project if it makes sense to keep my repo as the main codebase. Equally I have no problem in seeing someone elses fork become the main focus of development if that is easier.

Lakritzator commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the update! So we will finish our changes, and create a pull-request... than we will see.

P.S. Home automation with .NET, that sound interesting, do you have any information on what you do with it? Or is it not much more than using it in some command which you start from Windows?

I've merged the pr from @Lakritzator - love the HarmonyDemo app - that's made my day!

Home Automation - I keep meaning to blog about it. Combination of Domoticz, and my own code talking to old Kinects for voice recognition: https://goo.gl/photos/ZvkHsSbfpadxuPZFA

Can control lights (LightwaveRF), heating (HoneywellEvo), TV/Cinema room (2x Harmony), Sonos (API and Harmony) and anything else that has an RF controller or an API.

I started down the .NET route with Kinect, but am starting to transfer code across to HomeKit simulator so I can talk to Siri via the Apple Watch instead of needing a microphone in every room.

Cool stuff, glad you like our changes. I own the newest Kinect for Windows, I'll have to find some time implementing something useful with it too. Voice recognition was working really well when I tested it. It will be some time before I get around it though.
