Feature Request: Hello Home Actions triggered by a binary switch going on or off

[JDRoberts]

I would love it if switches on & off could control hello home. I have a switch in the closet at my front door that’s only used at Christmas for outside lights. I would love this to set hello home modes. Yeah I could use other things to get it to work but it would be way easier if it was just built in.

That one’s easy.

Replace the switch with any networked switch, then use the Big Switch for Hello Home Phrases (a community developed smartapp) and turning on that switch can trigger any Hello Home Action you like.

Can someone modify the big switch app to call Hello Home Phrases?

Ok, here is a tested and verified app. Does excatly what you want it to do. When a switch turns off it runs XYS hello home phrase, when a switch turns on it runs XYZ hello home phrase. copy and past all of it into your app and publish it for yourself and you will be able to install it from your apps on your mobile device. I will also publish it to the shared apps. /** * Big Switch for Hello Home Phrases * * Copyright 2014 Tim Slagle * * Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); you may not use this file except * in compliance with the License.
