User interaction during a scene (via Telegram or other)

[Archive] Feature request

Example scenario: Gladys should cut my office power outlet (desktop PC + 2 screens) at 8:00 PM in the evening if the outlet’s power consumption is less than 20W.

I would like Gladys to contact me and ask « It would be a good idea to turn off the office outlet to save electricity, do you want me to take care of it? » If I answer « yes go ahead » then the outlet is turned off.

The scene should therefore take into account two things:

  1. Send a message to the user via Telegram or another means
  2. Wait and understand the response then continue or stop the scene accordingly

I voted for it! I agree, it’s a nice feature :slight_smile:

I’ve split this topic into a tutorial (so I don’t lose it):

@lmilcent Can we close this request?

The interconnection with ChatGPT is only accessible via Gladys Plus, right?

In that case, it’s up to you to decide whether that means we can close this feature request or not :innocent:
Because it would then become a « premium » feature (and why not, in itself).

Actually, it’s a feature that seems quite complicated to implement correctly without an intelligent understanding of the text, and ChatGPT is just perfect for that

In the future, if local, high-performing models (even on small machines with few GPUs) can do it, why not run it locally as well, but in the current state of things, I think we’ll stick with ChatGPT for that :slight_smile:
