Home Automation Via Your TiVo And Homeseer
DVRPlayground alerted me to a new TiVo HME App (?) which allows you to control HomeSeer devices from the comfort of your couch. According to the HomeSeer website, this plugin provides the following features:
The opening screen has Locations (devices), Events, and Favorites. Use the configuration screen provided with the plug-in to filter which locations and groups can be used, and which devices and events appear on the Favorites screen. Using the familiar TiVo® remote control buttons, navigate to a location or group, select a device or event, and then control the device or run the event - all from the convenience of your favorite DVR watching chair! The system uses the new HomeSeer Device Control API so there are almost no limits on what devices can be controlled - thermostats, remote controls, devices with buttons, devices using status/value pairs, it does it all!
It’s great to see that others companies are developing TiVo HME Apps. Now if only we could get an update on HME so that other third party developers would feel as though the platform isn’t dead and that TiVo plans on supporting it in the future.
