Appreciate the nod Dan, thanks. Congratulations on your first 20 years... Looking forward to the next 20! 🎉

Send me a note at "mark at homeseer dot com", include "Cocoontech" in the subject line, and let me know which license you want (HS4PRO, HS4 or HS4-Pi). I'll see what I can do! ;)

Thanks for the mention Morgan!

Interesting thread... like a time capsule of utilities. Unfortunately (and predictably for a thread this old), many links are dead, some go to porn sites, and at least one appears to be a security risk. Might not be a bad idea to clean it up a bit.

  It took me less than a minute to do! However, now that I have it, I'm struggling a little with what to do with it. I did find a couple videos on the Alexa/Remote2 module but I have not figured that out yet.

Pete - thought you would be using the Node Red Alexa Remote2 module... I'm tinkering with that now.

  Pete - how do you have this configured?

  We have two separate "skills" for Alexa. The old one requires "Alexa, tell HomeSeer to..." but the newer one does not. Personally, I dumped the old skill myself some years ago and shifted to the new one. The new skill is a bit more limited with commands (no "open" or "close" commands, for...

  As Mike says, we work with all this stuff. Our automation engine runs locally. We're also integration partners with Google, Amazon & IFTTT. We have a free OAuth2-accessible remote access service (MyHS) but you can also configure the system for direct access with port forwarding and (if you...

  Thanks for your purchase! Ok, I missed your point, sorry. FWIW, we test a lot of the competition and look closely at the way they do things. I actually have Hubitat Hub in my office! We know our lack of a fully responsive GUI has been an issue for some time and we're addressing that now.    ...

  Mike - not sure if you've gotten any of our recent announcements but we are working very hard on HS4... which has a strong focus on GUI improvements. If you've not already heard about it, check out the HS4 vs HS3 features here: https://homeseer.com/hs4-smart-home-automation-software/

  Once they implement this, the existing Nest plug-in for HomeSeer will stop working. We've stopped selling the plug-in as soon as we got the news earlier this week. This will affect other hubs too... in fact all of them! Hopefully, Google will provide an alternative for 3rd party solutions. If...
