I debated posting this as it may bring a tidal wave of PM's and whatnot that I don't have much time for (my second child is being born in a few days). However after more thought I figured I could at least give people some direction.
I have finished writing code that pulls together Alexa, Hue Emulator 0.2.1, Logitech Harmony, Google Nest, and RainMachine. I can do things like:
“Alexa turn on TV”
“Alexa turn on Playstation”
“Alexa set Thermostat 74”
“Alexa turn on Sprinkler 2”
It's the first C# app I have ever wrote, my code is sloppy, has hard coded values for IP, Username, and Passwords, not very oop, requires IIS/.Net4.5, and in no shape to share. But I will post as-is below as I thought I would let people know the basics of how I did it in case anyone else would like to make a more refined version.
Everything gets setup in the Hue Bridge as a Light.
All on and off urls point back at my custom Microsoft C# .NET ASPX web site.
It's a single page takes in two URL parms (Operation and Intensity[Optional])
Thermostat uses Intensity Percentage to get back a numerical value, if its outside of 65 - 81 I hard code 74 to make sure things dont get out of hand
Website has "If" sections for each Operation type, examples of Operations are like "Light-Kitchen-On" or "Nest" or "RainMahine-Zone2-On"
In each If section I do whatever option is needed,
for ISY I simply call the REST API accordingly
for Harmony I actually call a prebuilt c++ application that takes command line parms (http://sourceforge.net/projects/harmonyhubcontrol/files/)Note: I really tried hard to use other 3rd party c# code to do it directly within the web app but I failed alot due to the messed up XMPP protocol Harmony uses and finally just had the website execute this exe which works flawlessly (and still quick)
for the Nest I call their REST API accordingly
for RainMachine again I call their REST API Accordingly
Most of my web calls use the WebRequest or WebClient .NET classes
Notes about Nest
Nest's API's are great, you do have to go and sign up for a web developer account.
Then create a program (put anything it wont really matter)
Once you have a program you will get a client ID and Client Secret
Go here in a browser and get a PIN
https://home.nest.com/login/oauth2?client_id=<clientID>&state=Balls
Then go here with your client ID, Client secret, and PIN (note: PIN is a one time use)
https://api.home.nest.com/oauth2/access_token?code=<PIN>&client_id=<clientid>&client_secret=<client_secret>&grant_type=authorization_code
You should get back a session key
"{\"access_token\":\"c.fyCVHgmvY1bCXchYdfjhfjghfjhgfjgdfkhfkghfkghfFGRgrtR3rChnjrSEZmc\",\"expires_in\":315360000}"
This session key can be hardcoded into the code below as its good for 10 years then you never have to worry about coding a logon to Nest (quicker too)
Harmony Notes:
Used this code to compile an exe: (http://sourceforge.net/projects/harmonyhubcontrol/files/)
Simply call the exe with switches
can use exe tool to discover commands, devices, activities
RainMachine Notes:
By far the best documented API, was quick and easy, you shouldn't have any problems with this one
