Good product !
Works great and the support is superb.
This is the best automation software i've used, and i've used many solutions.
Excellent Plug-in and full marks to Alex for outstanding support. I would highly recommend any and all of Alex's plug-ins.
The AK Google Cast Software Plugin is a great plugin to integrate your Google Home into HomeSeer. With this plugin I can use my Google Home units very well as a hs.speak client. The maker of Google Cast responds enthusiastically and adequately to questions. He also turned out to be willing (within a short time) to make improvements. Making the plugin even better to meet my needs. In particular, the support of (in my case the Dutch) language has improved enormously.
