Tasker for android and XBMC on a Raspberry Pi: Home Automation madness

Hello back, it´s been a while. But I have been playing with interesting toys lately. And this post is here to describe some of it.

Let us introduce the toys first:
1. Tasker for android : On Android market and project website. This is an automation app for android platform. It is very easy to use, there are tutos everywhere online, I won´t cover this part.
2. XBMC on a raspberry Pi computer. If you don´t know what this is, learn. It is worth it.
3. A Samsung Smart TV (model 40UE6300).
4. Json - RPC framework. This is the way to communicate with the XBMC on the raspberry Pi and create all the magic tricks. This is just for reference, I will create another post to describe more magic tricks.
5. Autovoice plugin for Tasker. This will help you be the master of your own android device, namely by allowing you to command it. Directly.
6. Tasker SSH Command launcher.

How? Read on!
