There may be times when a plugin author wants to distribute their plugin for beta testers. If the plugin is not a single EXE file it could be difficult to install manually. HS3 allows for the manual install of plugins.
1) Give your users a special updates file named updater_override.txt. The user saves this file in their HS3 application folder.
2) Give them your ZIP package, this is the same package that you will submit to HomeSeer for the updater. Have them save this file in the HS3 application folder /updates3/zips.
3) In HS3, go to the interfaces page and click the "Update Listing" button. You should only see the updates that are in the override file, normally just one. Check the update and install. It will install from the local zip.
A sample updater_override.txt file is attached to this post.
In the override file, just change the name of the update, and the zip file name.
To go back to normal updates, delete the updater_override.txt file.
