    ImperiHome Plug-in - Beta Testing

    ImperiHome is a mobile application (Android and iOS) to control home automation systems and connected objects. It is highly customizable and very user friendly.




    This plugin is designed to allow ImperiHome to control your HomeSeer system. It automatically scan your devices and events and expose them to the ImperiHome app.
    In the current Beta version the following object will automatically be exposed
    • On/Off devices (any HS device that has On/Off "Control Use")
    • Dimmable devices (any HS device that has On/Off and Dim "Control Use")
    • Locks (any HS device that has Door Lock/Door Unlock "Control Use")
    • Thermostats (any group of HS devices that implement the Thermostat API)
    • Events


    Moreover the following device types can be manually configured from the config page
    • Sensors (any HS device that has a numeric value: Temperature, Pressure, etc...)
    • Security Devices (any HS device that has 2 status: Opened/Closed, Motion/ No Motion, etc...)
    • Multi Switch (Any device that has multiple controls)
    • Shutters (Blinds, shades, etc...)
    • Cameras


    Please report any bug.

    The left part of this screenshot shows the list view, from which you can see and control your devices grouped by room (HS location1 or location2).
    The right part shows a customized dashboard view which has literally been created in a few minutes, everything is customizable: text, colors, images...
    You can swipe between screens, hide devices or events you don't want to see, and watch your camera feeds.

      Well it's about time! I don't know why someone didn't do this years ago.

          I think this will revolutionize my HS use. Thank you @spud!!!!

          I will commence testing now as a pro user of imperihome. I can dust of my license after having stopped when I moved away from Vera.

            So far I am only seeing Lights and Outlets. My door sensors and motion sensors do not show up. Will this be available at some point?

              right now only on/off devices, dim devices. thermostats and events are showing because these are the only objects that the plugin can recognize without any input from the user.

              I'm currently working on adding sensors, for those you will have to tell the plugin what kind of sensors it is and map them to a HS device.

                I'm assuming the fact that thermostats are displaying in celsius is coming from the app? There doesn't seem to be any way to configure that either. Actually, based on their website, Fahrenheit vs Celsius should be configurable from the API. Spud, can you get it to automatically use whatever value HS is currently reporting?

                  It is already coded so that it uses the unit that the HS devices use. I just tested it with a Nest thermostat and it works for me, but I had to force a reload from the Android app to have "C" replaced by "F".

                  what kind of thermostat are you using?

                    Wow..two mobile clients in one day! Perhaps HST should have given a bit more focus on this need...
                    Looks great Spud.

                      I tried doing a reload but that didn't help. Interestingly, if I click on one of my thermostats it shows the current temp in Fahrenheit but with a Celsius indicator and then it shows the setpoint in Celsius. I have Ecobee thermostats

                        Should JowieHue type devices show up as On/Off devices? Or is that something that will get added later?

                          I just tested Ecobee, and it works for me on Android
                          Is it Android or iOS? The iOS app is fairly new compared to the Android app, I already noticed some bugs that do not show on Android, so this may be another one. I will test later tonight on iOS.

                            It depends on how the devices are configured. Right now for a light device to shows up in ImperiHome it needs to have On/Off or Dim ControlUse in the Status/Graphics tab like in the screenshot below.

                            I don't have any Hue light to test with, so check yours...
                            Also there is a RGBLight device type in the ImperiHome API that I haven't implemented yet, this will come in a future version.

                              Spud, this looks very slick, I love the interface.
                              I tried the demo and it's very quick and responsive.
                              Is there any way we can use this with HS2 even in a limited form?
