Questions all about plugins:
1) I see that there are now "included" plugins for Ecobee, Rachio, Harmony, Hue, etc. Coming from the HS3 days, I paid for those plugins by independent publishers because there were no "included" plugins for those integrations. I presume HS introduced those plugins at some point as options to the independent published plugins?
1a) I presume that the included plugins (for the same integration) may have a different feature set or do not line up feature-for-feature when compared to their independent publishers' offerings, and that I would need to try both to see which I prefer?
2) Many plugins create devices. I have disabled some plugins because I have no use for them at this time. I would like to delete the devices they created so they do not clutter up my device list. How would I get those devices created by the plugin back if I decide to use the plug in again? Do plugins re-create the devices and how can the re-creation be triggered?
3) How do I identify which device belong to which plugin? For example, I have four MyQ devices but only one MyQ plug in. I would like to delete the ones that are no longer valid. I think this was a result of installing beta and other versions of MyQ.
4) Is it possible to hide a device from the device list? I know I can put them in rooms or filter, but I was wondering if they can be hidden.
5) If I recall, when a plugin is removed, the devices they created remain. Is there an automatic way to remove them, or do I have to figure out which ones to remove?
Many thanks for any insight on these questions. Cheers.
