=====Plugins===== This is a list of the currently supported interfaces. For a discussion of some of the modules and devices supported by these interfaces see the [[:supported modules|Supported Modules]] section. Most of these are included in the regular XTension download. Others may have to be installed separately. See the individual pages for more info. ===Apple’s Home Kit=== * [[homekit]] Control XTension units via Siri and Apple’s Home App on MacOS, iOS and tvOS devices. ===Z-Wave Interfaces=== * [[Hubitat]] A plugin for the [[https://hubitat.com/|Hubitat]] ZWave/Zigbee device was added in XTension v 9.4.35 * [[veraui7|Vera UI7 Protocol]] The new Vera UI7 interface protocol. This will support the new features of ZWave plus like Central Scene support. If you’re starting a new setup then just select the UI7 version in XTension and continue. If you’re converting an existing setup then please read the article carefully before converting as there is a specific work flow to do that. It is simple, but will save you a lot of manual unit editing later if you do it properly. * [[Vera]] from Vera Control Ltd, previously Micasa Vera.

The support is somewhat limited however so please verify that what you want to do is supported before investing in equipment. If the device is supported by the Vera then it should be supported by XTension connecting to the Vera. If you find a device that XTension does not support we can gather the data necessary to make it work. ===IR Tranmission and Remote Control=== * [[itach]] Global Cache IR and other sensor and control devices * [[veraui7]] The Vera plugin also supports their IR Remote unit by allowing you to specify the IR code in the Unit settings if you have an IR compatible sending device connected to your Vera. ===mySensors=== * [[mySensors]] XTension is now a fully featured controller for the [[http://mySensors.org|mySensors]] arduino based sensor system. ===Alarm Systems=== * [[Ad2usb]] the AD2USB interface for Ademco/Honeywell Security systems ===xBee Radio Connected Devices=== * [[xBee]] xBee radios for remote monitoring, control and serial data! ===Zigbee=== * [[hubitat]] Hubitat device plugin also supports ZigBee devices. * [[hue]] Phillips Hue Bridge * [[supported_hardware:veraui7|Vera UI7]] New Vera plugin also supports ZigBee devices. * [[vera]] The legacy Vera Plus plugin supports ZigBee devices. ===Analog/Digital I/O and data capture=== * [[pigpio]] Raspberry Pi GPIO * [[Barix]] (barix devices) * [[Lynx]] * [[WeedTech]] Weeder data capture cards. * [[MaxSonar]] Sonar rangefinder. * [[itach]] Global Cache Devices * [[controlbyweb]] Control By Web Devices * [[supported_hardware:controlbywebout|]] Alternate connection method for Control By web Devices ===RFID Receivers=== * [[Parallax]] Short range passive RFID Receiver. * Legacy Devices: * [[Ananiah Electronics]] Long range active RFID Receiver. ===Thermostats=== * Any ZWave thermostat will work with the [[supported_hardware:hubitat|Hubitat]] or [[supported_hardware:veraui7|Vera]] interface. * [[radiothermostat|Wifi Thermostat]] the USNAP wifi radio thermostat is now directly supported. * [[Omnistat|HAI Omnistat Thermostat]] The HAI Omnistat line of thermostats is now directly supported. * [[RCS485|RCS-485 Serial Communicating Thermostat]] RCS serial version of their thermostat is now directly supported. * [[aprilaire|Aprilaire or other STATNET Thermostat]] AprilAires communicating thermostat line. ===Ceiling Fans=== * [[haiku|Haiku/SenseMe]] WiFi Enabled Fans ===Dallas 1-Wire=== * Use the new [[kits:onewire|XTension 1-Wire to Wifi Kit!]] * 1-wire temperature sensors are supported through the [[Barix]] device interface. * Additional 1-wire devices can be connected through an [[arduino]] interface if you dont mind a little code. ===Do It Yourself Interface=== * [[DIY]] Simple method of rolling your own interface to non-supported devices. * [[arduino|Arduino]] a simple text protocol for connecting to arduino or other similar DIY style devices with a simple protocol and example code. ===HTTP/JSON=== * the [[JSON]] server interface handles either simple web requests to send data to a unit or the parsing of complicated JSON data structures to take whatever action is necessary. Just about anything that makes a web request via a simple form or via a JSON packet can be used to control units via this interface. This is a good way to control things in XTension with a simple curl request from other devices or the command line. * the [[supported_hardware:serverevents|Server-Sent Events]] plugin can connect to a standard HTML Server-Sent events stream and convert event receptions into XTension unit actions. ===Wireless Tags=== * [[wireless tags]] from [[https://www.mytaglist.com]] now supported via the json interface in build #846 ===Wireless Sensors=== * [[supported_hardware:rtl_433]] Oregon and many other wireless sensors and devices can be received via the rtl_433 plugin. ===Smart Meters=== * [[supported_hardware:rtlamr|rtlamr]] Many smart meter updates can be received with an SDR radio and the rtlamer plugin. ===HDMI Matrix Switchers==== * [[nohassle4|No Hassle 4x4 HDMI Matrix Switcher]] * [[nohassle8|No Hassle 8x8 HDML Matrix Switcher]] ===Geofences=== * Any geofence app that has the ability to make an HTTP request when entering or exiting can be used with the [[supported_hardware:json|JSON interface]] * An XTension user is also the developer of [[https://itunes.apple.com/US/app/id1166722212|mGeofence]] which works great with XTension and the JSON server. * Locative is dead, long live Locative!
