Alexa, Start my Car

I finally stabilized a project that I have been working on for some time now. The project is to open my garage and start my jeep on demand using the Amazon Alexa voice assistant. Similar to the features on the Tesla. Using the Raspberry PI Zero and my existing home automation system, I can now command my Echos to “Warm up my Jeep” and be more confident that the task will run.

I first created this project by writing a program in the Android app Tasker where I used the Insteon APIs and the Viper SmartStart APIs to control both my garage and jeep. The program was to open the garage, wait for a confirmation that the garage was opened, and then start my jeep only if the garage was opened, all by a voice command. But the program was unreliable. It would work sometimes but most times it didn’t. I believe that the program was too process intensive for my Samsung S8 smartphone.

A few weeks ago, I decided to use another processing mechanism; the Raspberry PI. I found a python script on GetHub that uses the Viper Smartstart APIs to start my jeep. I installed it, tailored it to my needs, and wrapped a CGI script around it so that I can easily call it from my existing home automation system as an external network resource. I created a program that opens my garage, wait for a confirmation that my garage was opened, and then call the network resource that starts my jeep.

With my home automation system already integrated with the Amazon Alexa services, it was easy to have my Echos run my program to start my jeep. I basically set up my program in the Amazon Alexa app as a new device and created an Alexa Routine, for a customized command. I now say “Alexa, warm up my jeep” and the Alexa services open my garage and start up my jeep.

This project is awesomely convenient for me and secure as well. It easily fits within my already existing security model. Taking advantage of my Geo Fencing features, the program is designed to run only if I’m at home. And it is only accessible within my internal network. The alerts whenever my garage is opened and/or closed are still in place. And my security cameras and control panels still show me the garage whenever the garage door is opened and/or closed.

This was an exciting project and I’m still making enhancements to it, but for the most part it works as I intended, and it is much more reliable than using Tasker.

I'm presently on a 3g (Blackberry) phone with an AT&T unlimited data plan and presently my bill breaks down as folows:

450 min - $40

1500 Txt msgs - $15

Unlimited data - $30

Total - ~$85

Question: Essentially keeping all my fetures unchanged, will my bill go up if I switch to this unlocked GT-N7000 Note?

Thanks

If it relates to the AT&T note, you are in the wrong forum. It has its own forum.

how will your bill go up if you stay on an unlimited data plan?

in my Country there is no unlimited data plan yet. But, blackberry services in more expensive compared to Normal data plan.

Figuring that they charge for everything, I just wanted to make sure that AT&T doesn't charge more for HSPA+ over 3G
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eikiel:
Nope... You are all set. Just make sure they DO NOT change your data plan to a tiered one if you go in and talk to them (I just did it without telling ATT anything).

There is a good post on how to set it up on XDA for use on AT&T with the APN and such if you buy one!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newg:
You guys sure pay a lot for your plans in the states. I thought that the UK was bad. I currently pay £32 for 1100 mins, unlimited texts, and 500MB data. Plus the phone was free on the contract. These prices are much higher than they were a few years ago, too.

Searched "rom toolbox" from xda app and got nothing. EDIT: found xda on TV? YouTube video on it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLxRRscFLjs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Anyone got this app? I've had it for awhile but only used it for 1 function, I just realized all its functions are equivalent to the dozen or more apps I use and not lesser in quality.

Its functions all match what I've set them to with my other apps, its smarter than I gave it credit; its over a dozen apps in 1. Including TiBu, SetCPU, apps2sd, SD boost, root browser, ad away, rebooter, font installer, a little overwhelmed by its plethora of functions

Yes it does seem like it can the place of quite a few programs!

Including titanium backup! :eek:

I can't find what it "can't" do!?!

I'm gonna give it a couple of days to see how it runs.

If it runs without problems; then I'll be cleaning quite a few apps!

If anyone knows anything or has a bad experience, then please post!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AcmeWidgets:
Changed my mind on this one! I do not recommend for the SGS2. For one: to use a lot of the rom flashing features, it requires "rom manager!" (We all know what "rom manager" does to our phone!

A lot of the other features only work on other phones such as the "Droid"

I did not try the overclocking feature. I just don't mess with overclocking my phone.

Forgot to mention I paid for the full (pro) version.

There is a Font installer, but it did not work. There is a lot of font choices, and I was disappointed!

The only thing I was able to successfully do was change the boot animation. There are several pretty cool boot animations available. You do have to use

the paid version to change boot animations.

So no go on this app.

I do recommend "darky ota." I've had a lot of success with it, and everything works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tdamocles:
I've noticed that being able to change fonts with this app is rom dependent. Works in cm7, Not icscrewd.

I think it installs the fonts just fine, you may just need to move them to the correct folder

Hey folks i've recently notice that the haptic feedback has grown very weak on my Evo 4G. It's to the point where you can hardly feel it vibrate. I've been running HTC Sense 2.3 and also I am rooted. Once I noticed the haptic feedback wasn't working the same way I went into the sound menu and turned off the haptic feed and restarted the phone and clicked it back on nothing happened i've also tried holding the volume down button to allow the vibrator to stay on to hopefully notice a difference but nothing has still happened. I would like to know if there is anyway to fix the issue.

Well now that depends on the ETA App and since there's no ETA for development on the ETA app you know what that means..

Yea a year sounds about right. :D

And again, I've mentioned this before..... ;)

The ETA on the ETA App depends on the ETA App giving me an ETA for the ETA App. So the ETA of the ETA App is still unknown.

This is something I always look for in my phones, maybe im one of few . I can say that HID profiles are supported and have tested with a portable bluetooth keyboard which works perfectly- no connection issues dropouts or weird quirks. I also tested out my bluetooth mouse which also paired without a problem, however its use was not ideal (but thats ok). There was no mouse cursor so it was awkward trying to select or click. The mouse was more like and external bluetooth finger if that that makes sense. The mouse like the finger and the table like the screen. I guess functionality of bluetooth mice wasn't really a large concern if at all. But id say good enough especially for the keyboard

Which rom are you trying to flash? Some rom's also have kernels that you need to flash with them.

Sorry. I've just found out what I need to do. Apparently, I have to put the .zip on the internal sd card, too, but I cant figure out how to do this. I have mounted the device, but I can only see my external sd card, in My Computer. How am I supposed to put it on the internal sd card?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
uhhh.....come again?

it doesnt matter where the rom zip is located as long as CWM can see it, it will install

what you need to do is flash the KERNEL as you were already instructed and probably as indicated in the first thread for the rom you downloaded...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mulimulix:
I'm still learning, sorry. I've got the rom and the kernel. I've installed the rom, but when I try and install the kernel, it says "Installation aborted." What am I doing wrong?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
you didnt read the superguide. there are several options for flashing a kernel, and CWM aint one of them....

modding your phone should not be taken lightly, and you should have read all this stuff before you even began....

hahahah, patience of a saint.

If a guide is already written and stickied, please read it before risking turning your expensive device into a brick. This device is not like most devices in terms of flashing ROM and kernel, so please follow the guide.

So are you using kerel via fastboot and not cwm. Please read the kernel flashing steps from where ever you got the kernel.

So I was changing some stuff around on my home screen and dragged the "contacts" app that was in the bottom bar into the trash can. I was planning to just use the contacts I can see under the phone icon, but now I realize that only lets me dial contacts and not see all the contact info I have for them. Also, a few recent contacts I added aren't showing up online from my desktop. My phone says it's still succesfully syncing my contacts. I don't see "contacts" in my app drawer (but I don't know if it ever shows up there.) Did I uninstall the contacts app, or am I just missing a setting somewhere to make it display?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well the app is called "People"... I'm assuming that's what you mean.

If you're on the stock launcher, there's no trash can for pre-installed apps. You can only see "App Info" to disable it. You can't uninstall with 1 drop.

If you're rooted and using a custom Launcher, it may have a "trash can" to long-hold onto to uninstall, and if you're rooted it may offer a full uninstall of system apps.

Gonna need more info here...

I know the triangle away thing. But that is risky (mentioned by Chainfire). So is there any other alternative?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Makrilli:
I think It's only dangerous if the information about counter and triangle are wrong and you still use it
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LP6:
Yep, I'd say everything requiring root is dangerous unless you know exactly what you're doing (or at least the dev whose app you're using knows what he's doing).

Hence, ALWAYS read all the instructions and all threads about the mod or app you are going to use with root permissions.

-LP-
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Yep. You could flash the old bootloader (search for it) & your jig will work. But as others have said, there's a very small risk involved. As there is using Triangle Away.

Up to you, red pill or blue pill ? :D
