I just wondered if there was any interest in a plug in to integrate the Fitbit tracking devices and Aria scale into Homeseer as a plugin. I am thinking of developing this, so would like to know:
a) If there is already one in existence? (Including one under development)
b) If anyone would be interested in one, which I guess would end up in the Homeseer store for around the $30 mark.
c) What features would people find desirable, what virtual devices would you like to see (e.g. Steps, Weight etc.)? How many family users would it need to support (maybe 8 max?) What features are missing from the basic Fitbit website that might be useful additions on a Homeseer plugin?
d) How often would you like the data updated, if say once an hour then a simple polling mechanism would suffice, if near real time then it would be necessary to have your Homeseer server exposed to the Fitbit servers.
Even though the near real time would be more complex the WAF in getting Homeseer to speak encouraging messages about her weight loss as she gets on the scale (or raids the fridge) is too tempting to pass up :-).
