Homeseer's plugin for the JDS Stargate

At last it looks like Homeseer is giving some attention to a screaming problem. Since the complete overhaul of Homeseer's software from a Windows-based GUI to a web-based interface there were issues that hosed the interface between Stargate and Homeseer. Not that anyone is entitled to complain much - the plugin was free, it was provided as a friendly gesture by another user and... what more can be said? No right to gripe.

HOWEVER, many of us have been waiting for Homeseer to take on the task of correcting the problem, and most of us who've enjoyed the power of using the two systems together have expressed our willingness to pay for a supported product. Seems there is some progress being made right now as Rick Tinker over at Homeseer tries to determine what to do. Nothing yet, but I'm hopeful the issue will soon be behind us. You can read more about it at
