In this tutorial, we will demonstrate how to use Tasker, AutoVoice, and SharpTools to run a SmartThings routine using your voice. At the end of this tutorial, you will be able to say "Okay Google, run the routine Good Morning" and have the "Good Morning!" routine/phrase run. This tutorial uses the SmartThings Voice Control with Tasker tutorial as a baseline. If you are unfamiliar with using AutoVoice or Tasker, I would strongly recommend reviewing the SmartThings Voice Control with Tasker tutorial.
In the end, your task will have several actions like: A Phrase: "Good Night!" If %routine ~ "goodnight" A Phrase: "Good Morning!" If %routine ~ "good morning" A Phrase: "Special Phrase!" If %routine ~ "custom spoken trigger" Note: For debugging purposes, you may want to include a simple Notify or Flash action to show the contents of the variable captured with AutoVoice. Sometimes the words captured by AutoVoice/Google are slightly different than you expected and you will want to adjust your conditional actions accordingly (eg. "good night" → "goodnight", "10" → "ten") For additional troubleshooting steps, see the troubleshooting section of the SmartThings Voice Control with Tasker tutorial. |
