An Australian man has become one of the first to hack the iPhone 4S voice recognition app Siri but his motives were not sinister – he wants to use the smartphone as a home automation tool.
Sydney man Marcus Schappi, 28, spent just over $120 on a gadget set-up which enabled him to hack Siri and use voice commands to turn on a lamp and open web pages.
He next wants to see whether he can ask Siri to close the chicken hutch on his property and unlock his front door using simple voice commands.
He joins another Sydney developer and founder of Remember the Milk - a task manager app for the iPhone, iPad and Android platforms - in hacking Siri.
Mr Schappi says his hack could allow users to do simple tasks such as turn their air conditioning on or off, control their home entertainment or alarm system and unlock their front door or car.
