Can we use plugin to control a device?

[Zoltan_Kiss]

Hi
Is there any confirmed way, to handle an existing/real device integrated to HR through a tile, with
any kind of procedure or element?

The goal is:
I have a switch which should be turned off after a certain time elapsed.
as there’s no automation mechanism (as far as i know), the only way to achieve this would be
to create a Timeplugin which will store the current time…

So lets say we have a device upon which we can trigger actions…the thing is i dont know if its possible

Can I somehow trigger a Fibaro switch upon that timeplugin time value?

Or as a workaround, if I create a QuickApp in Fibaro with a quickapp variable for the duration, can I access that variable from HR?
Forexample set it with a slider than send it through an api call to Fibaro and let the Fibaro Quickapp do the work?

Thanks

Plugins are isolated. That behavior is intentional. They can’t access existing integrations. What you need to use here are scenes. Have your plugin trigger a Scene then have the Scene send commands to Fibaro.

These scenes can be triggered to run either manually or automatically. 1. Manual You can create buttons or device tiles that execute scenes. Scenes are much like device objects, they can be assigned both a TileTemplate & a DetailsTemplate. In terms of control, they are all automatically given the Sc…
