I had a requirement to read a couple of status lines from my home alarm (relay closures) - instead of close on 50 pounds for 2 powerflashes, I have bought a cheap (7 pounds) usb game pad with 10 switches on it. This afternoon I hacked around a plugin to handle the device so I can detect off/on and on/off on the switches and react accordingly in Homeseer.
Next part of puzzle is to dismantle and rehouse the controller so I can have a 10 input relay board, usb based for next to nothing.
Reason for posting is 2 fold:
1) Have a missed an already existing plugin that does this.
2) Is anyone else interested - at the moment the working code is less than an hour old - so it is not prime time - but as it is at the moment, I can put some work in to make it more "public" friendly if there is some mileage in it.
Opinions?
