I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss the HS3 version of the plugin on not, but if not, please let me know and I can move it.
In any case, I just installed the HS3 plugin and it looks great so far. The one issue I've run into is that there doesn't seem to be any way to name each device. If I go into the plugin setup page I can name each channel for each of my devices, however, the plugin doesn't seem to use that information anywhere. When the devices are created they are created with generic "ECM 1 - CH1" or "ECM 2 - AUX3" names.
Perhaps even worse, if I try to modify those names after the devices are created it breaks the plugin and the devices with modified names are no longer updated.
Additionally, it seems that HS3 has some sort of an "Energy Database" I'm not entirely certain what it is or what it does, but I have a few AEON Labs smart switches that report their energy usage and HomeSeer reported that it registered those devices as an "energy device" and it enters their energy data into the "Energy Database" I'd love to be able to get all of my energy data from my AEON Labs devices and my ECM monitors in one place and this HomeSeer "Energy Database" seems like it might be the solution. Are you able to register these devices as "Energy Devices" with HS so it can use it's internal "Energy Database" with them?
Thanks,
Brett
