Today I installed my first 4 HD blinds that utilize Gen 3. I wanted to wait until they were installed to see exactly what the HD app would provide and then ask questions. What has anyone using the eisy add-on do through eisy that benefits from the integration? The HD app allows for schedules to run locally so other than schedules how has anyone used it to tie into Insteon, etc.? I was told the built in schedules would not run unless my phoe or ipad were not present. I have an ipad that stays home always. Thanks for the insight.

Just about every device with a plugin for Eisy has its own app, so as you mention it’s all about integration. For me, when I hit play on plex my lights dim and the blinds close. When my daughter hits a scene button or Alexa keyword, the lights dim slowly to black, her Vivaldi bedtime playlist plays on her Sonos & the blinds close. In the guest room the morning progression from dark to partial by way of sheers can be modified easily with one change rather than 6 scenes. Feedback through scene status can give lots of opportunities to trigger other things. Eisy is about integration of wildly different devices, otherwise we would just control using the devices own apps.

They told me that the "hub" would run ~ $210. Sound about right? Also, could you post a link to how to install an eisy plugin. I searched and can't find the step by step. This will be my first, so I'll be a pro after the HD. Thanks
