    We need a plugin for Cielo Breez ductless AC controller. I have an old house where ductless AC was installed opposite of the wall where the heat thermostat was placed years ago. It's so frustrating when the AC gets turned on and blows cold air on the heat thermostat so the heat kicks on too. Gaaaah! [Edit: I'd pay $29.95]

      Seems like an install issue if the thermostat is located where it measures AC exhaust rather than ambient temperature.

      Some mini splits have IP control. It seems that the Cielo uses IR. You can use something like Broadlink ($20 with mcsMQTT plugin) to command IR to the unit, but status would need to be obtained by other measures if you want closed loop operation. mcsMQTT also does IP control of mini splits that use the Daikin protocol.

          A supported Synology Camera Station Plugin. I understand the current one is outdated.

                  Yes, Spud's PI works great, but HS support for Google Home is terrible.
                  I am tired of disconnecting.
                  Yes, I did place a ticket as many others.
                  I just wish someone could make a correct plugin for Google Home with a stable connection.
                  I could pay for it, as it seems that "free" features of HS are so deceiving (HSTouch, Zigbee, wheather, Harmony ...).
                  I am using HS only with the help of 3rd party plugin (Jon00, Blade, EasyTrigger,Chromecast etc) and none of the have been correctly integrated by HSteam.

                    It is unfortunately to just rely on 3rd party plugins to do your thing. It should be managed by the HS team to motivate diversity.
                    Because let's be honest, what is HS without the 3rd party PI.

                    This is also the reason why a growing number of people are switching to HA, perhaps not for the reliability
                    but for the countless number of additions and it's open source software. But for now I am satisfied, because
                    there comes a moment you're done automate and just enjoy that it is all working
                    just the way you want. But always looking forward to new developments and gadgets

                      I'll step up and say that I'd pay $50 for a fully functional Google Home implementation. It would be well worth it considering how much time I'm spending trying to debug the issues. I suspect others would as well. I don't think it would be that hard to set up actually. Not just devices but events too of course.

                      I do have a hubitat as well to deal with integrating devices that don't have good HS support, using Michael McSharry's excellent Elevation plugin. I am tempted to try and use the hubitat GH integration, but a reliable plugin would be better.

                        how about a plugin for the meteobridge weather device, this unit is an interface to import data directly from many weather station sensor suites. i am currently running one with a davis instruments setup and works fine using a script to querry it for weather info. i would love to have a real plugin for this. can share script with someone.

                          Hi Vince, I'm working on AKWeather plugin, which already supports multiple providers, and I'm adding more, including PWS support. I don't see why have separate plugins for different providers, I designed my plugin so I can just add provider specific driver.

                          Regarding meteobridge, as I understand, it can upload data to various websites. So how can it be useful? Or it can also download data from the websites?

                          If you could explain your setup and share your script - I will try to add to my plugin.

                          Thank you,
                          Alex

                                It would be awesome if HomeSeer had a Homebridge plugin that worked both ways. I have several devices in Homebridge that I would love to control with HomeSeer.
