Hi,
I just started testing the plugin with my 4 hubs, so far so good. However first remark, please add some icons for the devices, and maybe even the states of the devices/activities.
Thanks

As for the stats of "devices" (statuses), they are devices and I have no way of knowing what they are. I can check the data I get back and see if I can "guess" what type of A/V device it is, but it will be just a guess.
As for the Activities statuses, it should attempt already to download the icons for each activity and set it for the status (See attached image). If you aren't getting the images for activity device statuses, let me know.

And some of the stat devices such as the root, use the standard homeseer icons, however it would be nice to have them in a plugin dedicated folder, so we can change them if needed without changing the links of the homeseerdevice states.
thanks for the efforts
As for On/Off status icons, I'll think about it. One one side, it offers you the ability to change them just by uploading. The other side of that is that in HS3 you can change the whole default icon set and it may confuse some users if they change the icon set from contemporary to standard and the on/off icons don't change.
I may, though decide to create my own for the fun of it, then it's kinda win/win

I have a cheapo Sceptre TV that is the same. I have it plugged into an Aeon Labs switch and monitor the power consumption. Less than 10 watts and I know it's off and run the appropriate event.

Edit: However, if you are using it with the Harmony and it's power state is generally accurate for the hub, you could determine if the power is on by what activity is active. However, if for some reason the TV is not in the right state for the hub, it does you no good.

Hi Frank,
Do you know What protocol the hub extender use for zigbee? If it is stable thay could be nice to be able to place the hub where we want in the house for zigbee and zwave .
Did you tried to play a little with it ?
I think the hub has bluethoot capacity too? I am able to controler my edifier speaker that way at he being. But it would be nice to be able to know the real stat of those that of devices. (For now i send 25 sound level up each 30mins to the speaker exept past 1am to 7 am ( and at 1:30 and 1:45: am i send 25 sound level down ) ), to be sure the speaker is running.
i could buy an aeotech switch to mesure the wattage to get the status of the speaker.. but if your plugin could do it in the future I wont buy it.
thanks,
Matt

Please add the ability to poll a hub for new devices and activities. A button on the plugin general page or next to each hub root device would do it. If possible, it would also be nice to be able to do it from within a script."if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." --Sir Isaac Newton (1675)

I've been using this Harmony<->MQTT library: https://github.com/maddox/harmony-api
There, I could send a command "pause", no matter what activity that was active. I used this in a doorbell-event - when the doorbell rang, it sent "pause" to the hub and it would pause not matter if it was the Apple TV, Blueray or the TV PVR that was the current activity. It seems this isn't possible with your plugin? I have to select which device I want to send "pause" to...?
