this could be used for something with Vera (not sure what exactly at this moment), maybe to add more automation to Vera using a PC (esp. for users that don’t want to touch code) but it would be dependent on accurate status updates in the UI. It looks like Sikuli can be used to read icon status or text, press buttons in the UI, etc. Could be a clunky way of adding if/then and other conditions/loops/etc to Vera without having to learn/write code?

Ideas?

I guess it could be used to Automate beta testing the UI, a certain device, or condition repeatedly and log results…

edit: or it could be used to monitor IP cameras and send a notification when someone steals your panda bear, or car, or…

Sikuli seems slow to execute, but does some neat things and seems to do more than AutoHotKey, etc.
