Meural Canvas II v0.00 Beta

Install as a virtual device and after saving add your Meural IP Address.  A static IP is required.

Dang, wish this had been around before I went the route of using Zwave outlets to switch my three on/off.

So I'm rather new to Hubitat and am trying to implement Meural Canvas support. Exactly what do I do with this code in Hubitat to do so? (I don't see this entry in the Package Manager).

Thanks!

Thank you for your interest and as you may have noticed you are only the second person in over a year that has expressed an interest.

I made further improvements for awhile and then I stopped. That code only resides in my environment.

What, in particular, are you interested in accomplishing with your Canvas? Knowing that I might be better able to guide you.

I too have a meural and would like, at a minimum, to be able to control its ON/OFF state (so that I can use presence sensors to only have it ON while someone might be able to see it.)

I see the Groovy code at

[https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nbrinkley/MeuralCanvasII/main/MeuralCanvasIIDeviceDriver.groovy]

but I don't know how to manually install and initiate this. Can anyone provide specific instructions?

SOLVED - it was actually as simple as pasting the raw driver code into a new user Driver in Drivers code / New Driver.

Nice implementation, devs!
