Developer wanted to write HS plug-in to integrate HS with Pentair pool controller.
Background:
Pentair is the largest manufacturer of pool equipment incl. pool controllers.
They provide serial ( RS232) interface to their controller as well as decently documented protocol.

Benefits:
Integration with HS will allow HS events to drive pool/SPA/water features. For example why running a waterfall if no one is around to look. Save energy and start the waterfall only when someone walks by - motion sensor trigger.
Business:
I will be your first client if you develop the plug-in. Due to the wide spread of Pentair controllers I believe that many will follow. Average Pentair pool equipment (pumps, filters, controller, valves) costs $5,000. The serial interface to Pentair system costs $500. After all these expenses I do believe that a pool owner with HS system would shell $99 for plug-in to HS.
