Rob- Is it possible to run multiple instances of the plugin? I have two panels I would like to connect to.

Thats a good question. I dont have 2 panels, but I think Pete runs 2 panels. He might have them on separate HS installs, though...
I do know that the plugin can run remotely. I had mine running on a dedicated Pi2 a while back and it ran great. It showed up in the list as "Connected Remotely" under the instance column.HS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4

To run a multi-instance plugin, you have to start it with command-line arguments. So, to start up HAI, you would open a command-prompt, go to your c:\program files\homeseer hs3 folder and type:
HSPI_HAI server=<ip address> port=10400
But, I dont think it will allow you to run 2 separate panels. The config file is specific to the instance being run. Also the devices in HS were created without regard to the instance.
I would need to make some code changes to make this work. I'll add it to my list, but it will be some time before I can get to it.HS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4

sample
Spud just upgraded his UPB plugin to allow for multiple instances of the plug in with each running a separate UPB network. You do have to make sure not to duplicate names between the two sets of network items so for example only one porch light otherwise it is difficult to do the programing.
Attached os a screen shot of how his plug in shows up on the manage plugin page.Attached Files

yeah, he's using the instance name to keep things separated. I'll do something similar to keep things separated. Thanks!HS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4

I have been waiting on this for a while too. I am about to install a 3rd Panel out at my brother's house so it would be great to be able to monitor all of them together.
Hey Rob, are we supposed to assume you are taking time off to enjoy your holiday or are you working like crazy to give Multiple Instances and Hi-Fi Audio control additions to the Plug-In to us as gifts for Christmas? It would look pretty selfish of you to take time off from the development of this plugin to enjoy time off for you and your family, just sayin....

They way it works today, I cant see how it would work. The configuration file is built for a single instance since it contains the keys for the panel. I would need to have a separate group inside each INI file for each panel. I probably should have had that in mind in the early development phaseHS4Pro on a Raspberry Pi4

I also integrate all my music with Houseband Skill and Jriver Media Center (which runs on a Mac or PC.)
