New Switchking/Tellstick plugin

[ehsmaes]

I would like to share a new Switchking plugin with the community.

The plugin doesn't require the Switchking/Tellstick server components to be on the Eventghost host. If you put the server software on your home server you can automate any device from any PC.

Enjoy!

New features added:
* Device groups on/off
* Scenario activation

New version out (0.0.4):
- Bug fixes
- New feature: set data source value
- New feature: multiple plugin instances (connect to more than one SK-server from one Eventghost

This is a good idea.

To make your solution even more flexible, have you considered also the other way around? To trigger devices controlled by Eventghost? Switch King could then benefit from many more devices and functions that are supported by EG.

Best regards, Walter

A suggestion for improvement,
modify "Datasource, Set Value" to enable "value" to be a python expression/variable (make it easy to extract/forward data from trigger or trigger payload):

Code: Select all

383    def __call__(self,dummy,devicename,value,selection):
384   value = eg.ParseString(value) # New line
385   self.plugin.sk.SetDataSource(devicename,value)
386
387    def Configure(self,dummy="",devicename="", value = "",selection = 0): # Default "value" now empty
