We are happy to tell you all that we have decided to go ahead with the Honeywell EvoHome system integration! There will be more news on this front soon.
On the subject of newly supported systems, we have added community developed drivers to support BioLock IP65, iRobot Roomba, Rachio Irrigation, DSC PowerSeries Security and generic home automation buttons and dimmers for systems like Crestron or Control4. You may now go to Tools-->Advanced-->Install external drivers on your PRO BLI to start integrating these systems in your current system.

I have also gone ahead and implemented the driver to facilitate IFTTT integration through Webhooks as Steven_London had suggested. I have uploaded the driver's Lua code to GitHub, it is a very simple implementation and some of you may be interested in it: link

I've tried the iRobot Roomba driver but cannot establish a connection. I found the IP address in the iRobot iOS app but I can't find the port so I tried using port 80. How do you find the port?

Support at Roomba suggested using port 8883, but that still does not work.

The driver is not for the newer WIFI enabled Roombas but for an add-on interface called Thinking Cleaner that can be connected to all the Roomba 500 series, most of the 600 series and some of the 700-800 series, according to their site.
We will change the name as we realize it can be misleading. Integration with the WIFI enabled Roombas can be done via IFTTT where plenty of functions are available.

JulianHudson, we do not have support for integration with CAME systems, but the request will be taken into consideration :)

I believe that I have a Roomba model 690. It's wifi-enabled. That's really disappointing (and misleading) that the driver is for such an old model. I spent a lot of time trying to get it to work. IFTTT is not the same as directly integration with BLGW.

I've deleted that ridiculously worthless Roomba driver.

Hi Ivan,

I have now installed and configured the IFTTT Webhooks driver, it works like a charm and really simplifies the strings when setting up resources. Many thanks. 

One more driver that would be really useful, the other reason I'm using webhooks, is for Somfy Tahoma. The IFTTT implementation is quite limited, can only control scenarios while the Somfy app allows control of individual blinds. Not sure if this is an IFTTT or Somfy limitiation but would be great if the BLGW could interact with Somfy directly.

Thanks

Steven

Hi Steven,

Great to hear about the webhooks driver!!!

This is the second request we get for these shades, of course we will look into it and evaluate the possibility. It would be great to hear if there are more people here interested in the sOmfy system!

Best,

Ivan
