Hello all,
I recently purchased a Plum lightpad and have been playing around with Home Assistant. I just wanted to bring this hardware to the attention of the community in hopes that one day this hardware would be supported. I know Plum is developing an API.
In the meantime someone over on the reddit home automation community created a set of Python scripts which give very rudimentary support for Plum within Home Assistant. If anyone is interested these scripts can be viewed here: https://github.com/mikenemat/plum-probe
I have talked to people over at Plum a few different times. If someone here wanted to add official support for Plum to Home Assistant, I’m willing to bet that Plum might send you a lightpad or two to help get this done. They’ve popped their heads in on occasion over at Reddit and are a very nice group of people.
Anyway, consider this my official request for Plum Lightpad support. They also have another device coming out soon for outlets. So support for the lightpad would help lay the framework for the outlet as well.
