Integrate didyoumean.js to play a particular Pandora station #6

Open justinmiller61 opened 8 years ago

I'm not sure if homebridge/homekit even has this ability, but I could see using didyoumean.js to find a matching Pandora station to play.

I haven't looked into whether or not this is even possible, but if it is, I'd be happy to fork and help out.

I don't believe this is possible as it's Siri doing the interpritations not Homebridge

So Siri won't even send the command to homebridge?

No it won't work, as you would need to use the Pandora API to get matching stations.

Riiiight. And what's wrong with doing that? I assumed as much. So assuming that's not a problem, does the entire transcription of what you said make it down to homebridge?

No, Siri only accepts predefined words. And won't accept others.

Eg Turn On Chill music would work using the HTTP plugin and this

But then if you said switch to pandora station dance, it wouldn't work.

You can only use On or Off, it doesn't even accept volume.

So the best way I would do it is define several pandora stations you would like in your config.

 {
             "accessory": "Http",
            "name": "Hits",
            "on_url": "http://localhost:5005/Glenn/favorite/Todays Hits",
            "off_url": "http://localhost:5005/Glenn/pause", 
            "service": "Switch",
       }
