What HS4 plug-ins would you like to see and (what) would you pay for them.

BTW...what I want ...as an example.

Have a BT5.0 USB dongle in my car that can have a line of site range of 1 mile (output power is adjustable - i have several) and for it to be detected by a BT USB dongle on my HS4 server. I glanced around and it looks like Jon000 doesn't work that way (w/ usb dongles). Even the microsoft store has apps that can track BT devices in / out range db/loss via a usb BT, so I know the data is there, I just have no way to get it into HS4.

I’ve been noodling this one. LORA may work better

I think there is a Node-RED contrib for LORA.

I agree that the technology employed for Lo (Long) Ra (Range) Is well suited for extended distance communication. I would characterize it as neighborhood coverage for the typical setup. The easiest way to introduce LoRa to HS is with a pair of LoRa modems that have serial interface. They sell for 30’ish by Ebyte E32. They can be powered by 12V so good for auto install. I have a pair installed to monitor my mail delivery. I believe any node-red contrib would be for a specific piece of hardware so it is not a LoRa technology node, but a specific hardware node that happens to use LoRa chip on its backend.

I actually have a econet water heater and thought about writing a plugin for it but their API seems to be an unfinished mess.

I'm interested in the econet water heater control. I have two at one of my homeseer vacation houses and one at the main house.
