Curious how ISY users interact with devices attached to the ISY and if you're interested in controlling your ISY-enabled devices via text/SMS

I will be launching a new service that allows ISY users to send text commands to query/control their ISY-enabled devices.  PM me if you want more details or would like to sign up for our beta.

You didn't have none as an option so that would be it for me. I may use voice once or twice a week if that

We use voice control several times every day, mostly to open curtains and for Good Night routine (switching off lights).

For remote control I’ll use an app when needed. I don’t have voice control here. Would like it but don’t like the hot mic in my house...

Not sure if this is where you are heading but I’ve always thought it would be cool to be able to respond to a text message sent from my ISY to my phone to have the ISY do something. I think someone had a way to do this but it was a little too technical and/or convoluted for me at the time.

For example, if I get a text at 10pm saying my security system is not armed, I could reply with a number of minutes to delay any further action. If I don’t respond in say 5 minutes maybe the system would do a default action - eg arm the system if ready, make a verbal announcement at the house, etc.

I also get texts when my garage is left open. Would be nice to be able to respond to that to delay further notifications for some period that I could define in the text reply.

But if I had to send a new text to a different recipient rather than simply reply I’d probably just find another way to control the system.
