Mark - I want to thank you for your excellent work over the years on this plugin. I have used it since the HS2 days, and it's only gotten better since moving to HS3.
I've recently changed my electrical service over to a time-of-day rate, and I need to better manage the loads in my house as a result. The dehumidifier is a big one during the summer; right now I have no control over it. I am using an Aeon Labs switch (one of the few Z-Wave devices in my network) to monitor draw and control its power. Unfortunately, once power is cut, the dehumidifier does not resume operation without manually pressing the power button.
I got to thinking - it has an IR remote whose commands could be learned and relayed. Then I found this:

I don't know if that price is a mistake, but for $10, it's hard to say no.
Problem is, your plugin doesn't support it as far as I can see. But I think I see a good opportunity for control here.
For that price, I'd be happy to buy one and send it to you in exchange for added support in the plugin.
My search brought up some old discussions of the 2411T, but nothing recent. Let me know what you think.
