I haven't used all of the features, but it works perfectly for my use case - controlling a Marantz AV Receiver. Marantz and Denon receivers can be controlled over a Telnet interface over TCP. I needed to set up two Telnet profiles in the Big6 plugin: one on port 23 to control the physical device (on/off/input...) and one on port 1255 to manage the streaming content (playlists). Very satisfied.
Does exactly what it is supposed to
Very poor support from the author. His plugin is not in line with hs api’s , so it is impossible to use it with hs events.
This plugin allowed me to easily fire a webhook to my Amcrest Doorbell to manually switch it to IR/night vision at night as it doesn't seem to want to do it automatically.
