Use MSR with Vera

This isn’t exactly what I was trying to say when we talked about this elsewhere, so for the benefit of all,
let me restate my position and hopefully clarify:

There is nothing preventing someone who wants to build the interface between the new eZLO APIs and MSR from doing exactly that. I would be very happy to see that done. I have no plans of doing it myself because my own HA has moved on to include other platforms (still with Vera, but now have additional controllers involved, and MSR facilitates that). As a result, I wouldn’t be able to properly support an eZLO interface and help users troubleshoot and get the best use of devices. Per-platform interfaces really require that the person building and supporting them maintain a long-term interest in being (or becoming) a subject matter expert and lead support for MSR users of that controller. It’s an opportunity for someone. I could certainly do it, but I feel like my own time is better spent working on the bigger picture of Reactor (MSR) functionality, and I already maintain the existing three supported platforms myself, so I’m plenty busy.

That said, when I last used the new eZLO APIs, they were not yet up to the task. That has been some time now and it may ready at this point.

Anybody who wants to step up to do it, I will, of course, stand ready to support you.
