Combine the awesomeness of Apple's Siri voice recognition capability with ability to tap into it using SiriProxy, and our favorite hacker friendly mini Linux computer Raspberry Pi and we have an excellent voice controlled home automation system which runs 24/7 waiting for voice commands to do assigned tasks. To get this super-geeky project working we need to install and configure SiriProxy on our Raspberry Pi setup, follow the instructions shared below to install SiriProxy on the official Raspbian “wheezy” distribution.

Siri has been the top feature in Apple iPhone 4S and is not available officially and legally on older Apple phones like iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS, hackers have been trying to get a perfect port of the technology to older devices and it seems the progress is good. In some good development on the porting front a video has not been uploaded to Youtube showing Siri working on an Apple iPhone 3GS - full video after the jump.

The best thing about open-source and crowd-sourcing is that there is no limit to the amount of creativity and development a product/feature can achieve once subject to public development, thanks to SiriProxy Plugin hack independent developers are creating amazing stuff like controlling their rooms, computers, and even cars.

To get things a notch above iPhone Hacker robb created a "Siri Hack" for the Music Hack Day 2011, Robb used the SiriProxy and developed "Notorious Siri" plugin which raps the "Notorious B.I.G.’s Hypnotize song". Full video after the jump.

"Siri" - the only exciting new feature introduced in Apple iPhone 4S has now been hacked and decoded by developers allowing them to program custom handlers for different actions. The "Siri Proxy" hack allows developers to easily add functionality to Siri making it do cool voice controlled actions not built-in natively by Apple.

Developer's can now create "Siri Proxy Plugin's" allowing users to issue custom commands via the "Siri - voice assistant", an excellent demo is shown below where a "plugin" allows the developer to control his computer and a thermostat.
