Square Connect SQ Blaster support

http://www.squareconnect.com/index.html

Is there or will there be support for the SQ Blaster or how would I approach making an integration?

OH

I integrated this with a shell script that worked quite well but to be honest it was a far better option to get the Global Cache ones. If you want the script I can get it for you if you want

[jay (support)]

Assuming it has an API, you could build an Indigo Plugin for it using our Plugin API/SDK...

We have no current plans to build any integration ourselves.

Yes please

Hi Jay, yes it has an API, yes I know I could make one using the Plugin API/SDK, and yes I'm a programmer also. But the reason I don't make my own home automation system is my lack of time. I rather buy what I need to get going

I used a couple of hours last night testing out Indigo, setting up a dimmer, a multisensor from Fibaro and a scene controller, and also the wera bridge I like what I see and already many issues that I have with Vera is solved . But I have a very large and complex z-wave network and setup. I hope to migrate it all to Indigo without to much hassle. I will order a Mac Mini today and hoping this with Indigo will be a faster, more flexible, function rich and more reliable platform then the vera.

Will continue and try to post nice and clean post on the forum for needs and issues that comes along the path, that I cannot find elsewhere. When I have the basic stuff set up I will look into the Plugin API for refinements..

This is a bash shell so put it somewhere on your mac. You will need to download the xml file from the sqblaster after you have configured some devices in the iPhone app and place this in the same directory, or change the path at top of script. Obviously change the IP address to that of your blaster

Thx,

Will look into it. Trying to learn how to make plugins now....
