Originally posted by spud View PostThe support of RGB lights is still on the roadmap, but there is lot of different RGB lights and a lot of different plugins controlling them, so it is not that easy to create something that will work for most of them.
For your McsSprinkler devices, I don't know what you expect from me? From what I understand from the screenshot you posted they should already appear as On/Off devices in Imperihome because they have the ControlUse On/Off, the only problem is their status which use a different value and string, so in this case you can add an additional generic sensor string device for their status, you would have 2 devices in imperihome (On/Off for the controls, and Generic sensor for the status) that represent one HS device but I think this is the best we can do.
Thanks for the update. For the sprinklers I was hoping for a single device somehow for control and show status._______________________________________________

With Imperihome dashboards you make your own layout but putting several devices on one page to equal control of all your sprinklers. And since Imperihome don't support Sprinklers you may even have to make some virtual devcies with some logic on the Homeseer side to get it into a layout you want in Imperihome.

I agree with both of you, perhaps we should ask Michael, the author of that plug in why he is using a different device status instead of 0 and 100. I hope he sees this post and reply to it, otherwise we should use his post to ask this question. I personally hate to create another device and event when I can use that device to turn it on and off.

One feature request, is it possible to get the current wattage for switches, appliance and dimmer modules below the icon in the dashboard (like the examples that show up when you add a widget)

Originally posted by spud View PostThe API allow to pass a wattage value for On/Off devices and dimmers, but the plugin can't guess where to find this value, so I have first to let you configure this manually from the config page. It's added to my TODO list but not my top priority at the moment.

Originally posted by spud View PostI'm not familiar at all with the Energy API so I may be wrong, but I think what is recorded in the Energy database is a consumption value (kWH) not a wattage (Watts) so I don't think I can retrieve the wattage value directly from the Energy db.

Originally posted by sirmeili View PostI was more talking about devices that have build in energy monitoring and display have devices for those values. For instance, this is a microswitch in my front yard (attached).

I like this idea, I would guess that this would be a request for the imperihome folks. The feature request would be to combine a sensor and a switch such that the sensor displays in the switch widget-either directly , or after a long press._______________________________________________

Edit: I added pictures to show what imperihome already has available for andriod.

Originally posted by integlikewhoa View PostI think your miss understanding....... if you add a switch right now in imperihome you get a list of options or types of switches to add if you look at their list of poctures there they already have this option your talking about. Spud has also said imperihome api supports this in the post your qouted. So we do not need to wait or contact imperihome home at all. Spud said he will add it to the todo list. Sit back and relax.
