EESec hacks

A collection of simple NodeJS based services to communicate with an EESec via iOS Siri.

Requirements

• an EESec within the local LAN
• an iOS device with Siri support
• iCloud enabled for Notes so that new Notes created via Siri get automatically synced with iCloud
• in order to receive push notifications on your iOS device(s) you need to install the prowl app and generate a prowl API key.

Setup

• create a file config_siri.js with your iCloud credentials and if available your prowl API key; see here for a description about the file structure.
• create a file config_eesec.js with your EESec credentials; see here for a description about the file structure.
• install the babel npm module globally: npm install -g babel
• install all other missing npm modules: npm install
• start the service: DEBUG="eesec:*" babel-node eesec-hacks.es6.js

Usage

Supported Siri commands (in German):

• Neue Notiz Alarmanlage aus
• Neue Notiz Alarmanlage an
• Neue Notiz Alarmanlage home
• Neue Notiz Alarmanlage status => delivers current status via prowl to your iOS device(s)
• Neue Notiz Wer ist an der Tür => requests a new image from the camera and delivers it via prowl

And every EESec mode change and new EESec image will be automatically reported via a prowl push notification within a timeframe of 15 seconds.

Misc

The basic idea about the Siri control mechanism via the iCloud synced Notes is coming from HcDevel/SiriAPI8.
