Developer @plamoni based in St.Louis has figured out a way on how to run proxy server on this computer to fool Siri into thinking that it’s talking to the mothership “Apple Servers”. He used the proxy server to run a custom plug-in by which he managed to control his WiFi thermostat.

The proxy server acts as a middleman that intercepts Siri commands and returns answers. According to the project page, “the idea is to allow for the creation of custom handlers for different actions”. It works by setting up a DNS server on your network to forward requests forguzzoni.apple.com (the Siri servers) to the computer running the proxy. [via]
