After a little more than a year, I'm happy to be ready to return to Indigo with a new, smaller system. (Old system with 100+ devices (lots of Insteon and Z-Wave) and a ton of plugins was destroyed by Hurricane Ian's surge along with everything else.)
Have been growing a new system from scratch, slowly. So, while I started using Indigo around 2009, this feels like a Noob question b/c so much has changed. Looking at the plugin store several of the plugins I used are now depreciated; new ones have arrived; and I'm out of the loop and would really appreciate some advice.
Goal is to have two-way communication and visibility between Indigo and Apple's Home App. I tend to use the Indigo App for control and advanced programming, but kids and wife just control a few things like locks and room lights through the Apple Home App. How would I achieve this goal , given my hodgepodge list of devices, below?
Here are the devices I have purchased since the inundation:
- Nanoleaf Essential lights (Thread),
Zigbee Lights (formerly Hue lights),
Yale locks (wifi and bluetooth),
Zigbee water leak sensors,
Z-Wave water valve shutoff,
LG tV ,
Sonos amps,
Apple TV,
Meross garage door openers,
Unifi Protect cameras and UNVR,
Envisalink4 connected to Honeywell alarm system, and
an RPi 4B (running pretty basic setup of Home assistant),
I've used the RPi to patch things together, one by one. It does OK, but as the system grows, I'd really like to return to Indigo b/c HA lacks many of the features and convenience I loved about Indigo.
Just had an M2 Mac Mini delivered, yesterday, so I'd like to return to Indigo, but lost track of plugins, updates, features and could really use some advice on how to setup the current devices in Indigo (or in Apple Home first, if need) and link to Apple Home (or back to Indigo, if that's the way....)
Thanks!
