I guess we are trying to tie ourselves to the "CLOUD" again. "MQTT"
Don't people get it? When you are tied to the "CLOUD" your system becomes useless when the internet/Comcast stops.
This is why we select Homeseer.
I am an Internet programmer of 30yrs experience.
Not very user friendly unless you are well versed in programming. seems to work if you imitate others on the forum.
The plugin had a lot of promises... but the autor is hard to deal with and he is giving no support
I used this tool to manage my Hunter Douglas Powerview shades and blinds. It allows me to open and close the shades / blinds through HS3 rather than using the Powerview App. I have not yet programmed the status of the blinds, but I expect that I can do so with a bit of work. Great plugin!
As before, with all of my purchases, I have NOT received my license. The site that holds my licensing information will not respond to my email address. This has been happening for years. Why Homeseer can't figure out something as simple as emailing to an address that has been in existence for many years is beyond my comprehension.
