These are Lua modules, not plugins. Most aren’t specifically related to Vera; but useful to any Lua programmer. There are (so far) string, time, XPath and JSON modules.

What is the process for installing these add on’s?

I was just wondering, are there any more ‘utilities’ people would recommend?

The mios site above has not been updated for a few years…

I suppose it rather depends on what you want to do… what you consider ‘useful’.

I have a bunch of functions loaded at startup for doing ‘utility’-like Luup things such as walking the luup.devices structure to look for (and exclude) certain classes of device. But herein lies the problem of reusable software… what I consider useful, you may not… what I like in a module, you may not… my data structures are not your data structures…

Sorry! Obviously hit a pessimistic streak just then.
