The instructions are super confusing to setup. Basically, you need a device setup for each phone you want to send messages to. These would be your personal phones.
In the configuration menu for google voice, you would give your account credentials. The google voice number you'll use for your house is already affiliated with that account if you've signed up for a google voice account using it.
To use it as a notification system, you would send a message to your personal phone... the devices you setup earlier.
To use it for control, you have to setup the commands you'll use as triggers and who they'll be coming from (so a random person can't muck with your system just by sending your house a text). The command trigger should be in all lower case for the trigger. I personally have a handshake type system when if this trigger is received, it sends me back a message saying that it was received. Not completely a handshake, but that verifies that the indigo received the message and the trigger has occurred.
Edit:
I just realized... are you using just google voice for your own use or are you using the google voice plugin for notification and control of indigo?
