I have this early attempt that is at least a better version that what you tried before....
But I'm still working on the full re-write including using Async http to keep the hub CPU cycles down due the regular polling with a blocking http request. Its coming along well, but not finished.
The above beta driver is pretty good though, and you might be happy with that - and I'd be interested in your feedback.
I've had brief looking and it looks like a big improvement. iZone bridge discovery and auto-creating the child zones is very nice. I'll install it on the weekend and see how I go.
If you are interested I (tried) to write my "unified thermostat" drivers that cater for the Mitsubishi WiFi adaptors to allow for expansion into other platforms outside of Mitsubishi's. You could try and incorporate the relevant api calls into these drivers, but I can also understand the benefit / enjoyment out of developing something from scratch. Let me know if you want to take a look, even just as another thermostat example.
The drivers are contained in this folder in my Hubitat repository:
I have always intended to capture the design and how it could cater for expansion to other Thermostats, but hopefully you may get the gist of what I am trying to do....
Here are some notes on how I have setup my Zone Control dashboard @gslender. I still have some more notes to take, actually on the part we were talking about earlier in the thread. I'll try and cover that part next in the post linked below.
A mate of mine is wanting to dip his toe into home automation. He has installed some dumb downlights and is looking at options for smart switches to replace / enhance his light switches, trying to keep oprions open for Hubitat or other hubs. Any suggestions?
@cometfish - Did you ever look at downloading the BOM's radar images? I have been able to get some displaying on a dashboard using a locally hosted html file (on the HE hub) and manually uploaded images from BOM, again stored on the HE hub. All I expect I will need to do now is look at getting these images on the hub automatically, so was thinking it would be good to have it included in the drivers you wrote. What do you think?
You can set up an image tile with URLs like this (for Sydney) http://www.bom.gov.au/radar/IDR714.gif (64km). Unfortunately these are not looped and the update rate is 6 minutes (I think - or could be longer)
Nice. I was after the same effect of the scrolling images on the app / site, which I was able to do with a bit of JS in a HTML file on the hub. I'd show it, but you wouldn't get the effect with a still image
Keep the dumb switches and install Aeotec Nanos behind them. I know there are a few people who grumble about them but mine have been rock solid for nearly two years.
