###this plugin does the following:
- Copy states from homematic host to indigo devices/ states
- Indigo actions can set states and values on the homematic host
###Prerequisite / steps
- create micro sd with raspberry matic (homematic on raspberry) image
- UBS dongle for 800 mhz communication to devices (buy at homematic)
- start rpi
- install add on "ccuJack" - that is used to communicat with the rpi through http
- strongly recommended to install addon "HM-tools" for unix tools
- create devices on rpi, thermostates, sensors etc
- install homematic plugin on indigo server
- in config set ip number and port number (normally 2121)

A few more details:
Homematic is a system that is a widely used home automation system in mostly German speaking countries
It s a complete system that can manage multiple devices (also by homematic)
The spectrum of homematic devices covers a wide range:
-multiple sensors T/H/Water/CO2/Smoke/contact ...
-output devices like door opener, window shutters, power outlets, dimmers RGB led drivers etc
-and a wide spectrum of heating / cooling managing devices and systems
It uses "channels" that connect devices directly. With a few clicks they are connected and do predefined interactions like Temperature at room sensor drives valve position at radiator.
The communication can be done devices - rpi - device or directly device to device. The frequency is 800Mhz, which gives it a much better range that wifi or bluetooth or zigbee. some devices can be used as repeaters of the communications.
But on the other side it is somewhat closed. It offers some scripting (like bash) but very cumbersome.
the op sys is a stripped down unix with few normal utilities. Ie python is not installed - some addons for unix magement are available. (eg nano ...)
Here comes in Indigo. With Indigo as a front end you can read devices and set properties to open / close valves, doors etc. or add sensors to drive things in homematic.
The plugin should run fully automated managing devices and links between indigo and homematic.
You only need to set ip number and port number of the homematic system - other parameters can be set, but the defaults should be fine.
This doc will be extended as we go.

My first installation using homematic- this is why I am using the system:
This is the system i am using to manage the underfloor heating of the house
the 2 white boxes (falmot-12) at the top regulate the white valves.

they get target temperature and actual temperature from thermostats in each room. the communication is directly between the devices w/o the rpi
