Looking for ideas for plugins

[kingfetty]

Looks like there may be some interest in an MPower or Mfi related plugin. I'll whip something up this week and post to the forums.

Yes, but you need to open every zwave device to see the polling time. Having a screen where you can see all devices, you can schedule timing for each device so they don't repot all at the same time, having the controller to manage the polling more efficient .

Hector;

Go to Plug-Ins/Z-Wave/Node Information. You can see the polling information on the root and child nodes at a glance. You can click on the root and the child node names to adjust the polling.

Thank Randy, I guess you learn everyday something new

Hi Kingfetty.

EnOcean maybe? https://www.enocean.com/en/home/

Energy harvesting sensors and switches sounds good to me. :-)

A plugin to read data from the Rainforest Eagle energy monitor and populate Homeseer's Energy database would be great. The Utilities out here have been swapping out our old meters for SmartMeters. The Rainforest device can read data directly from the SmartMeter, and is an approved device from the Utility. I think that XML data can be parsed on the device.

A plugin to manage speaker clients would be cool so that I can have different things spoken to different clients and I can enable/disable certain speakers at certain times etc... would be relatively easy.

Most salable idea!

IMHO, the most salable and most desirable plug-in would be one that makes scripting less necessary or, at best, unnecessary.

I like this idea, I may order one if any of my plugins sell and then write a plugin for this.

What sort of scripting is bogging you down? I haven't had to do any scripting yet in my setup.

New free plugin posted for Ubiquity mPower devices.

Now you just need to setup a kickback from homeseer to buy the product as well! Seems like a great addition to own a couple of those!

Thanks for considering this one. If there is any data I can send you from my Eagle, let me know.

+1 on the Rainforest Eagle. I've got one and would like to pull that data in to HS.

I am currently looking for ideas for plugins to develop. If you have a need, let me know and I'll see what it would entail. Since I have the framework built from my other plugins anything simple enough I can release for free.

Hi, what do you think of a 'multi-status device' plugin?

So basically a type of virtual device that monitors values from other HS3 devices and sets its own status based on certain rules. This is doable with HS3's virtual device, but needs MANY events per device to implement:

http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=173934

Some use cases:
a). Combine door open-close, lock-unlocked and motion detection to a single status icon.
b). Monitors which lights/devices are on/off and detects a scene based on the combination. The identified scene can be useful just for display (on hstouch, etc) or as a trigger for other events to fire.

It would be cool if within this plugin we can create different templates for the virtual devices it manage, or at least the ability to clone/copy devices so you don't always have to start from scratch.
