Got back into Homeseer about 3 years ago after a 10 year break. Been adding hardware functionality little by little ever since.
This latest update involved adding Infrared output. I still had an old Applied Digital Ocelot in a box, so decided to see if it'd work in HS3 Pro .435 on an Intel NUC running Windows 10 Pro. Long story short: Yup, it does.
Took me a bit to find a proper RS-232 9-pin -> USB adapter (The blue GearMo on Amazon works great, though you also need a short M->F cable in order to connect the 9-pin to the Ocelot because the GearMo 9-pin end, while being a male 9-pin, doesn't have thumb screws! You have to use a cable to screw into the GearMo)
At first, I tried the included HomeSeer Applied Digital Ocelot plugin but didn't have any success. Can't remember what the issue was, but I soon found a few mentions of the GTS CPUXA Ocelot plugin in the forums and gave it a shot. I was easily able to capture IR codes from my existing remotes into the Ocelot and send them back out to control my devices. The IR output of the Ocelot is very low, so I also use a Xantech 791-44 Amplified Connecting Block (up to 8 IR emitter outputs) as an IR repeater.
The GTS CPUXA Ocelot plugin has been rock solid and works as advertised with the IR portion of the Ocelot. I don't have any of the Applied Digital expansion devices for I/O, but might pick one up. Will add to the review if and when I do.
If you've got an Ocelot, this plugin works great with the IR portion!
It would be nice if it supported dimming for X10 but it does most everything I need.
Run as expected
Good but missing more features
