i thought it was clever and to try to use it to interface with indigo... so, this script, when saved as a standalone app and running on a computer with the notes app set to sync with a cloud account (the same acct your iphone uses), will scan your notes for specifically named ones and when it's received it will send the corresponding command to indigo, and then delete the note (vice versa actually).
it's a bit silly, but you know what, it works. i did this in bed in the middle of the night, so it's just a rudimentary start, but it could be a workable interface if you don't mind saying 'make a note' to siri every time you give a command...
the lag is dependent on your internet service and apple's server health, but in the first day i've seen basically a one or two second lag between command and action.i scripted only a few commands so far, but it's easy enough to expand, as you'll see. thought i'd post it in case anyone's interested...
this script currently will do commands* for my house/setup, but a cursory look at the code will show how it works and that it's easily mod'able in seconds to work for your setup. i made the commands start with 'tell indigo' to ensure it wouldn't misinterpret any other kind of note i might write.

lights on/off
party macros on/off
tv on/off
itunes on/off
bedtime
etc..
have fun.
[note: i needed to make it standalone and run via remote machining because my server doesn't have notes or my cloud accounts enabled, but it could be used as a background script if your indigo server and notes are on the same machine...fwiw.)
