Using "iMessage" to control XTension

[Thomas Arman]

Here is a little something I whipped up. Do this on your XTension Mac.

Step 1 - Open Messages Preferences and find the Script folder by:

To use it:  Send an iMessage from another Mac or an iPhone to the account on the XTension Mac using this syntax:

TellXT turnon <the unit name without quotes>

It works with only ?turnon? and ?turnoff? as quickly coded.
[tellXT or TellXT .. iPhone kept capitalizing it on me.)
Exactly ONE space between the tokens.  Your unit name is as it appears in XTension.

Seems fairly stable, but has not been heavily tested.

I can control my loft fan like this.
