“Siri can now control third party apps and even open cars thanks to clever developers and the SiriProxy,” Chris Oldroyd reports for TiPb.
“In case you missed it earlier in the week, a developer created a SiriProxy to control a thermostat and then made the code available for others to use,” Oldroyd reports. “The SiriProxy stands in between your iPhone 4S and Apple’s servers. It then intercepts Siri voice commands. This proxy enables additional commands to be added to Siri’s repertoire.”
Oldroyd reports, “Other developers have now started using the SiriProxy to do other weird and wonderful things… [including] work[ing[ alongside his car Viper system.”
