Aside from making voice commands for the handset, Siri can now be used to control lights, fan and curtains in your home.

Hacks in the Siri proxy have caught the eyes and fancy of many developers and they develop more pulgins for the application. A developer with YouTube account name phildman14 developed a custom Siri Program plugin that can control the devices in his room like the lights, fans and curtains

In the video below, the developer created a plugin on Siri in his Apple device that can control some of the things in his room. This has been possible due to the Siri Proxy created by Pete Lamonica that allowed developers to create different plugins that can intercept voice commands and perform actions that are programmable, scriptable etc.

Other developers already created custom plugins so they can give voice commands that can control their car or the thermostat or play the movies and TV shows with Plex. You can also use Google Voice or Control Mac apps with Siri or control Spotify.

Hacker Lamonica cracked Siri's security protocol of iPhone 4S' Siri feature to add functionality and control the WiFi thermostat. He announced his creation of proxy server for Siri via Twitter. He said that he made the proxy server to make it easier for developers to add new functionality to the aforementioned feature.

The proponent of the proxy server posted the source code and the complete guide and instructions in setting up the proxy server in the social coding site, GitHub.

Pete also showed how the proxy server works by making a plugin to control the WiFi thermostat that will respond to command for checking the temperature and adjusting it. The video below shows how Siri controls the thermostat using the proxy server.

The idea of putting new functions in Siri is very cool and we are excited what people can do or include in the proxy server for Siri.

Siri is one of the boasted new applications of the latest mobile operating system of Apple - the iOS 5. iOS 5 was unveiled in the Apple media event last Oct. 4 and was made available last Oct. 12 along with 200 new apps and features and Apple's new storage system iCloud. Siri is a feature supposed to be exclusive for iPhone 4S. However, it has found its way in other handsets.
