Hi,
dummy device plan is a good one, as the homeeasy is only one way there
is not much you can do about triggering things on messages. You don't
have to send xAP messages to update the device on the map, you can
just use the setdisplayvalue function. That way you can avoid the
additional messages. You can then use the custom button functions to
trigger certain messages to control things. (or you could get fancy
and do some custom html as the popup). This all assumes that the
schema is odd. If not why not just make a raw device to receive the
xPL messages, look on the guides on mi4 for how to do this. You'll
need the xpl receicing support turned on for this to work as well as
an xpl hub on the pc running Floorplan.
