Is there a way to send a url request to the cloud? I'd like to use Siri to do that in conjunction with IFTTT.com It would be very powerful even to setup shortcuts to your scenes, lights, etc.

I think the best way (and a good way to promote your service) would be to enter InControl on ifttt.com as a channel.

I inquired to iftttt.com about adding a channel; I'll need to wait to hear back from them about it.

What is it you are trying to accomplish? Perhaps there's another way we can make it work.

Found the channel platform application here: https://ifttt.com/platform I'm assuming you filled out that form... might get a better response though that form.

Well, with ifttt.com you can accomplish just about anything. If the weather is raining (the living room might be dark) and lights would turn on. If you receive a RSS with 'whatever' in the title... you could activate your TV. Maybe a new episode of whatever was downloaded via utorrent.

I was thinking of creating a 'contact' called kitchen in my phone. I'd send a text to it and it would turn my kitchen lights on via Siri. I know I could setup a Siri Proxy, but it's pretty complex to do so on windows and i'm having a tough time implementing it. A cloud solution like that would be the best, less complicated and also help you out with exposure and flexibility.
