The personal assistant Siri is getting smarter every day and after learning to: control a thermostat, to control a car and to control an application, has now learned how to control the Plex application of an Apple TV 2G. Notice in the video clip above that Siri can play any movie available in the user's video library and all through simple voice commands. Do you want a simple TV, controlled only with the help of voice commands? Well, Siri offers it to you and the clip above is the best example of this.
Everything is possible thanks to one proxy hack developed by a hacker, proxy that allows anyone to customize the commands to which Siri responds but also the devices to which it connects. Practically, Siri can connect to any electronic device that can use a Wi-Fi network and give it commands without problems. Apple gave us the raw material and now the developers are starting to give us what matters most: functionality. The best part is that we don't need a jailbreak to do all these things but we need advanced knowledge in working with linux, proxies, etc.
Soon I see Siri being used to control automated installations in homes, garage doors, etc.
