Indigo 5 - woo hoo!!!

[bbruck]

I've been using Indigo 5 for several weeks now and am really pleased and amazed. The Big Thing in v5 was an API for writing python plugins, and a bunch of folks have been writing a whole pile of them. My three favorites so far:

Integration with Weather Snoop - it's now simple to create control pages with weather variables, or insert weather states into conditional logic for scene triggers.

Integration with TED 5000 - same thing - all the TED information is now available to display or use in triggers

Integration with Ademco & AD2USB - I haven't gotten that one working yet, but this one will really transform my home automation. Every door and motion sensor will now be available to display in any control page and trigger any actions throughout the house. I really can't wait for that one to be debugged, as I've really wanted to use my powerful Ademo motion sensors to trigger a variety of scenes and money saving light shut-offs.

Yeah, the plugin architecture is huge. They're not even out of beta (some aspects of the API aren't even done yet) and people are writing a bunch of cool stuff.

Now if only someone with skillz would write a plugin to integrate the Elk M1G... (so I can have access to my sensors too!).
