Voice recognition does anything?

I've lost track - does the voice input on the smartremote do anything at the moment? It pops up a toast message on the remote itself with whatever speech was recognised but I can't see that any server variable gets set on recognition. Just having that happen would let us create automations on variable change.

No, Voice needs more development before it does anything of merit.

OK, thanks for confirming.

If that's the case can the mic button be made available for rebinding?

I'm assuming that voice isn't going to be functional for quite some time and it's currently the only button on the remote that can't be repurposed. It's physical location makes it prime real estate and I could get a lot of mileage out of this button if I had access to it.

I can't remember if today the Mic button is exposed in myDesigner...if it is, go for it.
FYI, If you push that button and talk....your words will be converted to Text and sent to myServer as a variable. The words could be used for integration with voice services or other capabilities. Allonis has our own Text to Actions processor software that is a work in progress. Other projects have taken that priority since the reality is....few people actually end up using voice...when the screen / button UI is good and available. But we will finish that work at some point.

So the recognised speech does get set into a variable already? I couldn't spot one when I tried it out and I thought your previous answer said no.
