As mentioned in a different controversial thread, there are no plans to discontinue ComposerHE in OS3.0.

I've been working on developing a homebridge plugin to fully enable HomeKit control/reporting of various Control4 devices.  Initially I'm supporting lights, dimmers, door contact sensors, window contact sensors, generic contact sensors, motion sensors and security systems (because that's what I have in my home).  I'm also working on a Control4 driver that will communicate with the homebridge plugin for all system devices without additional programming needed.
This will give the benefit of:
* Direct control of Control4 systems via HomeKit w/ Siri voice control
* Remote access (if you have home hubs such as Apple TV 4 or iPad) without 4Sight needed
* Direct integration of "favorite" devices into the iOS control center views
* Control of all Control4 devices via Apple Watch
SO....a few questions:
1) Does anybody out there have interest in such a thing?  
2) Are there folks out there that might want to beta test?

I thought I would share my recent addition to my system. I have a Kohler DTV+ shower that has a network interface as well as a web portal for minor changes and has some control over the device. 
I decided to peek around and inspect some of the web elements to discover a repeatable URL that I can use to trigger shower start and stop. You can discover these by simply using 'Inspect' in chrome for example and log the devices activty as you activate/deactivate the shower for example. 
Below are the two commands I am currently using in my system, you can modify the valve outputs and temperature. Mine right now is set only to turn on valve 1 at 38C.  Right now I use these links as an image in announcements (to trigger the weblink as an image on my T3), I then have it linked to custom buttons on my bathroom screen as well as IFTTT/google assistant (OK Google, turn on the shower)  . I do not have the Chowmain driver to push weblinks but I think I will update to use that to trigger the URL in the future. 
ON: http://IPADDRESS/quick_shower.cgi?valve_num=1&valve1_outlet=1&valve1_massage=0&valve1_temp=38&valve2_outlet=0&valve2_massage=0&valve2_temp=38&_=1529517501631 
OFF: http://IPADDRESS/stop_shower.cgi?_=1529517501635 
It is not flawless, and I would caution when trying to discover the correct links if you enter one incorrectly the Kohler web portal will become non-responsive and you need to power cycle it (this took many power cycles for me to figure out correctly). 
Nonetheless, I can now tell my shower to turn on an off which I was quite excited about.   

No!  Absolutely not!  You must not say wonderful things about my work!!  *glib smile*
Don't worry... it'll happen.  I spent a good portion of my spare time today working on the web-based appliance code.  It's my personal opinion that the drop-in appliance is critical to the commercial success of the driver.  Too many users and too many dealers won't understand the concept of homebridge and running their own mini-servers.  The overall package *has* to be as completely seamless as possible in order to get widespread adoption.  Sadly, that means idiot-proofing the setup and *tons* of documentation, which all takes time.

I haven't heard from too many people who are trying this out yet, but the homebridge-control4 plugin has been installed nearly 200 times.  I have been in touch with one person who is successfully using this driver in his project... so far so good.
I have a pre-configured homebridge appliance nearly ready to go on sale.  This will be a drop-in network appliance that comes pre-configured with everything needed to get the Homebridge driver running with HomeKit, and which supports a super-easy web-based configuration.  Plug it in, enter a few settings, and everything should "just work."  It will even auto-import the device configuration from your Control4 system.   Here's a little sneak-peek.  MSRP for the hardware box will be about $225.

We believe this could be a great solution, let's discuss this live. We would love to help and be part of this very exciting idea.

Your point? Do you have a reference for your assertion? If you recall I said "a lot of us" not "the vast majority." Do you get a kick out of being argumentative? Please follow the advice I've seen other people tell you: when I post something please don't respond to it! You're not contributing at all.
 

Errr... Calm down dude.
Do you get a kick out of blowing things out of proportion?
 
 
And no - I'm not going to cease the way I've done things on here. The fact that you seem overly eager to take a comment completely and wildly out of proportions is not going to change that.
