Script |
Accessibility and Assistive Automation | Indigo 2.x-4.x | These two attachment scripts define a suite of AppleScript functions that are callable from Indigo Actions (or other Applications) to sequentially target and control Devices and Actions Groups. This allows users to easily, and with only a couple of actions, select any Device or Action Group as a target. The targeted Device can then be controlled (on/off/dim/brighten), and the targeted Action Group can be executed. |
Script |
Find my iPhone | Indigo 3.x-4.x | This plugin uses mobile me to locate your iphone, and display it's location on a Google Map. It also will attempt to calculate the distance from the latitude & longtitude that you supply to your iphone. |
Script |
Garage Door Auto-Close | Indigo 2.x-4.x | I needed a script that would reliably close my garage door. Using the I/O Linc (Model 2450 -- 1 input & 1 output set to momentary ON) and the magnet from the garage kit I had all the info required. I wanted the script to address situations where a momentary ON (i.e. button press) would not result in the door closing. This could occur if the door were partially opened (button press may open the door fully instead of closing it) or if the door sticks occasionally and 'rebounds' to the open position. I limit the number of close attempts to five so that the motor doesn't burn out if things go haywire. |
Script |
Spoken Weather Forecast (ver 1.0.1) | Indigo 2.x-4.x | This script downloads and speaks a weather forecast from Weather.com through
your computers speakers. |
Script |
Sunrise Simulation script | Indigo 2.x-4.x | Simple attachment script that raises the brightness of a light over time to simulate sunrise. Useful for those of use that hate getting up in the dark to go to work. |
Script |
Trigger an action when a paticular wireless devices associates to an airpor | Indigo 2.x-4.x | I do this to detect my blackberry and my wife's iphone by watching for them to login to our airport routers. It's a hacked up version of someone else's script that I found online. Some caveats: \- The airport extreme seems to not like being polled so often, I have to reboot it once a day (I have a controllable PDU in my rack) to keep it happy. SNMP stops responding, it otherwise is fine. The airport express does not seem to have this problem, I complained to apple. \- The iphone will disable the wireless if not plugged in and the screen lock kicks in \- You would need to work out the SNMP OIDs for the MACs of your devices with snmpwalk. \- You need to do the snmpwalk before the snmpget's or it has stale info (I'd love to know why?) \- The time appears to be an epoch in hundredths of a second since boot. \- I use this to turn on our outside lights at night when we arrive. It's sort of hit or miss whether the clients associate fast enough for this to be helpful. Credit to: \-- Daniel Chote (http://www.chote.com) \-- Date: December 1, 2007 |

Indigo Server Stop | Indigo 2.x-4.x | This shell command script will terminate the Indigo Server (and built-in Indigo web server). It will also disable the "auto start on user login and auto relaunch if crash" behaviour. This will allow you to prevent the auto relaunch of the server if it ever starts misbehaving for any reason. NOTE: requires 3.0.6 or greater. |
Application |
Maxi Controller | Indigo 2.x-4.x | Maxi Controller is an application (not a script) that displays a working GUI of the Maxi Controller transmitter. It was written by Frank Nicholas in AppleScript Studio and uses Indigo to transmit the X10 addresses and commands. The source project is also available for download and is a great example of using AppleScript Studio to extend Indigo. |

Script |
iMessage/Messages/Siri Indigo Control Script | Indigo 5 only | This sample script demonstrates how to control Indigo from Siri utilizing iMessage on the iPhone and Messages on the Mac. Please consider this a proof of concept, since I'm not a programmer capable of making a polished app. However, it works great in my setup and most of the functions are generally useful in other installations. I've only tested the solution in Indigo 5 since I haven't tried Indigo 6 yet. However, assuming Indigo 6 still works with Applescript, there should not be any problem there. This is my first submission so I hope it's complete enough to be useful. |
Miscellaneous |
Indigo Plugin for Plex | Indigo 4.x only | The Indigo Plugin for Plex duplicates much of the functionality of Indigo's web and iPhone clients, making it possible to control your home automation system with a click of the remote. This plugin should work equally well when Plex and Indigo are on the same machine, on different machines on the same intranet, or across the internet. |
Miscellaneous |
Indigo Widget 1.3.2 | Indigo 4.x only | Indigo Widget is a Mac OS X Dashboard Widget that provides minimal Indigo access of Devices, Variables, and Action Groups. Note the widget communicates with Indigo Server via AppleScript, which is an Indigo 4.x Pro only feature, and thus is not compatible with Indigo 4.x Lite. |
Script |
iTunes | Indigo 2.x-4.x | The iTunes attachment script defines several AppleScript functions for controlling iTunes from Indigo. These functions can be called from Indigo Execute AppleScript Actions or from within any AppleScript _tell app "IndigoServer"_ block. The script also listens for X10 A/V commands (stop, play, vol+, vol-, etc.) from the MR26 or W800RF32 and passes on the commands to iTunes. This functionality requires an X10 "Entertainment Anywhere" remote control, like the UR81, and a MR26 or W800RF32 RF receiver interface. |
Script |
iTunes - Speak Song Info thru iTunes Speaker(s) | Indigo 2.x-4.x | This script pauses the song currently playing on iTunes on the computer running Indigo, speaks the song, artist and album, and then resumes playing the song at the same point. |
Script |
iTunes Play Album of Current Track | Indigo 2.x-4.x | I usually listen to my main library in shuffle mode, but quite often a track comes on and I say "I'd like to hear this album in its entirety, in correct track order. With this script I can issue an X-10 command that causes iTunes to create and play a new, non-shuffled, non-repeating playlist consisting of the album of the current track, sorted by track order. The script will announce "Now playing [album] by [artist]". When iTunes is stopped, either by user action or by the playlist finishing, iTunes will delete the playlist and resume play in the main library at the next song by a different artist. |
Script |
iTunes, Pandora, AirFoil Integration | Indigo 4.x only | This package is used to simplify access to and inneroperability of three applications:
My goal is to have a way to control my whole-house audio system that plays iTunes, Pandora and making announcements. if iTunes were the only application involved, access is very simple - and the fitures in the scripts included in Indigo would more than suffice. When one adds the complexity of adding Pandora to the mix, it gets a little more complex:
A quick note on Pandora: After some brief testing with Pandora, I quickly learned that paying for the "Pandora One" is a great value. The environment described here is not intended for use with the ad-based, free Pandora experience - the frequent pauses and ads make the environment unworkable. To solve the above issues, two applications were required:

Indigo Plugin |
Mac Commander | Indigo 5.x-6 | This plugin allows you to perform actions on any Mac in your network, whether it is the Indigo server or not. What you can do is only limited to what Applescript can do on the given machine. At its core this plugin is a Python program that executes Applescript commands on your desired machine. While this is easily accomplished using Indigo's scripting, I wanted to be able to take it a step further by having an On/Off state associated with the command. For example (and why I built this in the first place): I have Plex running on one of my Macs in the house (not the Indigo server) and wanted to be able to turn the Plex Server on and off at will. I accomplished this easily with some Indigo scripting but it was just firing into the blind. What this app does is allow me to assign an "On" command (start Plex server), and "Off" command (stop Plex server) and a "Polling" option to see if Plex server is running or not and dynamically turn my "device" on or off as a result. More information and documentation with screenshots can be found via this link |

Updated iTunes sync script | Indigo 5.x-6 | Added variable genre for current track. Needed this because I want to change moodlight (Philips Hue) depending on genre played. |
IndigoWebServer Plug-In |
Weather Display Mac - Indigo Webserver (IWS) Plug-in | Indigo 2.x-4.x | This plug-in allows Weather Display fMac data integration with Indigo Web Server (IWS). Weather Display is the most popular weather station software on the Windows PC and now has been ported to the Mac. It supports a myriad of personal weather station hardware from almost all manufacturers (Davis, Lacross, Irox, Oregon Scientific, Ultimeter, Weather Hawk, Rainwise, Texas Instruments, Dallas 1-wire, and others) as well as Internet based weather sources. And it now supports data transfer straight in to Indigo variables. Read more about WD Mac here: http://www.weather-display.com/index.php The WDMac Plugin goes to work as soon as you install it, waiting for the data you have specified to arrive from Weather Display. If the variable has not been created the plugin will do that for you also, and name the variable based on the field definition you configured in Weather Display. Very cool. |
Miscellaneous |
WeatherCat to Indigo Data | Indigo 6.x-7 | WeatherCat monitors your current weather using a sensor array and a console, like a Davis Envoy. There are many other sensors and consoles that it supports. Using the XML file below as a template, WeatherCat populates another file with realtime data. Please see the WeatherCat documentation for details. There are many more values you could add or delete to suit your situation. The .py file is used by Indigo to push the realtime data into indigo variables. |
Script |

Script |
Variable Watcher | Indigo 5.x-6 | This script is a Python library for Indigo that will examine a variable value, and if that value is the name or ID of another variable, it will examine that variable's value, recursively. When it finds a name or ID that's not a variable, it will check to see if it's an action group and if so it will execute that action group. This allows the user to create a tree of choices that can easily be traversed until it finds what the user wants. It's used in the Advanced Thermostat Adjustment wiki article but can be used in a variety of other ways. |

Indigo Plugin |
Aprilaire Thermostat Controller | Indigo 5.x-6 | This Indigo 5 and Indigo 6 (beta 7) Plugin supports one or more Aprilaire Communicating Thermostats over a StatNet Network. This has been tested with an Aprilaire Model 8870 thermostats, and Aprilaire Model 8800 thermostats. Both can exist on the same StatNet network at the same time. This Plugin is now fully integrated into the Indigo Thermostat device model. Up to 32 Thermostats can be controlled over the one StatNet communication network but the practical limit would be 4 to 8 thermostats on a single network. Each thermostat supports unto 4 remote sensor modules, with two remote temperature or humidity sensors per module connected on each thermostats' local RS485 bus. The Aprilaire thermostat can be hardware configured as a Thermostat or Humiditstat Controller. These remote sensor modules and controller types are supported by the plugin. A typical configuration would include: Note: Please check the Aprilaire documentation when mixing the older and newer generation components. There are some considerations required. Communication has been tested with a "local connection" USB - Serial to the 8811 Protocol Adaptor as well as "Net Socket connection" through Global Cache GC-100-12 Serial to the 8811 Protocol Adaptor. |
Indigo Plugin |
Battery & UPS Monitor | Indigo 5.x-6 | The Battery & UPS Monitor plugin will allow Indigo to monitor any UPS that can natively connect to Mac OS X (typically through USB). This plugin uses the UPS support built-in to the Energy Saver System Preference & Mac OS X, to monitor the status of your UPS and/or Laptop battery. |

This plugin monitors each panels output, and reports all useful data from the solar Enphase system via the Envoy-S. See & For a international map of their thousands of installs see. (last count I see 540,000 installations.... :P ) (gotta be some Indigo users out there ???) This Plugin connects the the local Enphase [Envoy-Sdevice and pulls all information; including individual panel output (regardless of whether you have that option with your install) It connects locally to the envoy device - and does not use the enlighten / web-service API. The local connection provides much more information, is more UpToDate and can be pulled every few minutes without problem. Having compared the two over some time there is no comparison to this minute-minute data. |

LP Tank Remote monitoring with text alerts | Indigo 5.x-6 | I had been looking for a solution to remotely monitor the level LP gas in my outside tanks with Indigo for years. I gave up waiting, and decided to create one myself. I'm happy to say that it has been working quite reliably for a year now. I can see my tanks' level (as a % full value) on my control page, and get text alerts when the level passes thresholds I choose, and also when the propane company comes and refills it while I'm away. This solution operates over ZWave and requires two special hardware items, a MimoLite, and an R3D Hall Effect Module. More detail in the attached document. Please note that I am not an electrician or plumber. I believe this implementation is very safe, and the R3D device is intrinsically safe, per the Rochester specifications. Having noted that, install this solution at your own risk. Please feel free to contact me if you find any information you feel is incorrect. Enjoy! |

Tesla Model S Geofence scripts and files | Indigo 6.x-7 | If you have a Tesla Model S you may or may not be aware that Tesla exposes an API that lets you get, among other things, the location of the car at any given time. The values are returned as GPS coordinates. This is quite handy for setting up something like a geofence whereby you can have actions occur when you hit certain distances from your house. This is similar to the geofencing others have described this works very well given that the Tesla can very acccurately tell you where it is. I'm attaching my scripts (cleaned of my location data/passwords/private stuff) by which I track where my car is and speed up polling as I approach home. Note you should not poll too quickly (> once every 10 seconds) or Tesla will block your IP (and then you have to reset your cablemodem and other funky things). Note you'll need to find similar landmarks near your house via google maps or apple maps and then grab the coordinates from the map to plug into this script similar to this format: There's two parts to this system. One is the AppleScript which manages Indigo and the triggers/variables, and the other which is a shell script which calls the Applescript at set times (again, never > once every 10 seconds). The shell script is running continuously, in the background. Note this also ties in to the I/O Linc that controls my garage door opener. Also note that I have a second Mac that gets sent the Tesla's location. It then opens up Apple Maps (on my non-primary Mac) and shows the location of the Tesla. Hit me up with questions if you have any. |

Alternative Weather Icons | Indigo 5.x-6 | Hey, Here's a complete, I hope, set of NOAA weather icons that are named as the originals for ease of use. Aside from being different graphically I have also modified the icons that are below a 50% probability to not reflect that weather condition and instead show a "Fair" condition. IMHO it's more accurate to show the most likely condition to occur. Carl |

And yes, there isn't too much sophistication here with this example script. Please feel free to make suggestions, and comments… I'd be happy to consider them for a newer version of the script… |

Label template for RemoteLinc 2440 | Indigo 2.x-4.x | This is a simple PDF template that, when cut to the tick-marks, will fit nicely in a RemoteLinc 2440. It requires some kind of graphics application that can open and edit PDFs such as Adobe Illustrator or Acrobat in order to put in your own terms or change the colors. It's currently designed for a black RemoteLinc. If you want to make your own the size of the template is 2.43" x 1.27". If you want to match the font used on the RemoteLinc, I think it's Futura Medium. |

NOAA Weather Announcer | Indigo 5.x-6 | AppleScript to read the NOAA Weather Web Text, clean it up, and read it out loud. I have my Mac Mini connected to the whole house audio, so each morning I like the weather forecast read over the audio. This is what I created, with help from websites noted in the script. |

Python Indigo Restful API Wrapper | Indigo 4.x only | What is the Indigo Restful Interface? The Indigo Web server, as of Version 4, includes a restful (Representational State Transfer) web interface. REST interfaces are an attempt to make a easy way to simplify access to server based data. Either sending data to the server, or changing the information on the server. Restful interfaces are quite useful, but since they are dealing directly with the server, they are often very low-level. I have started to create a higher level python wrapper for it... This higher level wrapper, simplifies the details by abstracting the process. The code, is available from Google Code for the project. What Does the API Support? Currently the wrapper supports:

Smart Devices v1.2.5 | Indigo 6.x-7 | Smart Devices aims to become a collection of “meta” or “virtual” devices and “tools” that combines several other devices and logic to solve practical challenges. The first Smart Device to be published is the “Simple Smart Thermostat”. It is a “virtual thermostat” device with simple but effective logic for controlling heating. This is done by selecting one or more temperature sensor device inputs, and one or more relay switches that control heater(s). Thus the heater(s) will be turned on and off according to the sensed temperature(s) and your “Simple Smart Thermostat” set point. Smart Devices is released as "works for me software". I have changed versioning to reflect semantic versioning (http://semver.org) and dropped the "beta" annotation. New in v1.2.0:
New in v1.2.1:
New in v1.2.2:
New in v1.2.3:
New in v1.2.4:
New in v1.2.5: This update contains several improvements in safety features and user preferences and fully implements validation of all fields in the Simple Smart Devices configuration dialog.

Script |
Weather Underground Query Script v2.5.4 | Indigo 2.x-6 | The Wunderground Script will poll a Wunderground Airport Station and/or PWS (Personal Weather Station) and retreive the latest weather information for the specified station code. Data from the PWS and Airport stations can be merged. If more than one PWS is specified, and good data is not available for the first PWS, the script will try the additional PWSs in order until good data is found. The weather information will be saved into Indigo Variables. Support is provided for weather icons to indicate the current conditions. A basic set of Wunderground icons is included. Changes in V2.5.4 This update corrects a formatting bug in the Wunderground daily metric precipitation data. |

AppleScript iMessage Group Message | Indigo 6.x-7 | This simple script demonstrates how to send iMessage notifications to a Group. This is useful if there are multiple people in the household that get notified on an event that requires action. Ex: Garage door left open notifications when no one is home |
IndigoWebServer Plug-In |
Device Usage Report | Indigo 4.x only | This plugin will generate a report for the specified day (yesterday by default) that shows how long each device was on for that day (in minutes). The plugin makes a couple of assumptions:
This report should be used only as rough insight into what devices in your home are used most. It requires that SQL logging be turned on and SQLite as the database type. The plugin reads all the necessary config information from the IndigoSqlClient.conf file that you must configure in order to make SQL logging work correctly. _NOTE_: When the IndigoServer first starts up or switches Indigo Databases broadcasts some device state changes during the startup process that the SQL logger then adds to the log database. Unfortunately, these don't actually represent real state changes. However, from the plugin perspective, it's not possible to distinguish these from normal state changes. Therefore, you may see some days that contain erroneous data. Unfortunately, until we figure out a good solution for those errant changes, you may need to just skip days where you restarted the IndigoServer. |

Dump Database | Indigo 2.x-4.x | These four scripts allow you to easy dump the database information for Devices, Action Groups, Time Date Actions, and Trigger Actions into the Event Log window. This is useful for copying and pasting from the Event Log window into a text editor application for printing. |

HVAC historical Usage | Indigo 4.x only | This plugin will graph the Actual thermostat temperature reading, vs AC & Heating set points. This is tested against a venstar t1800, but in theory any thermostat that Indigo supports would work… (But is there any others that Indigo supports?). In addition, below each graph is a table that contains the raw data. By default, it is hidden, but clicking on the hyperlink will reveal it. This does support multiple thermostats….. |

Indigo JSON Broadcaster to InfluxDB script | Indigo 7+ | indigo-influx-receiverThis accepts the output from the indigo-json-broadcaster plugin and sends it onward to influxdb. |
Application |
Insteon Health Test Tool | Indigo 4.x-6 | This application is based on the original Perl script from seanadams. This update packages that script as an OS X app called iHealth. All required Perl modules are included. iHealth sends Insteon requests to the devices listed in a devices file and measures the response time. Results can help find problem devices or areas that have poor signal propagation. * NOTE: iHealth works on OS 10.5 through 10.7, PowerPC and Intel. iHealth will also run on Tiger, but some problems have been observed. Specifically, the URL passed to Safari to view the report may wrong and the PLM interface may not be brought back online automatically. This release fixes a compatibility problem with Indigo 5.x. * |

Survey | Indigo 4.x-6 | The Survey plugin will go through your Indigo Devices, and “Ping” (Status Request) any devices that support the Status Request command. This allows you to get a survey of all your devices, and ensure that they are online easily. Simply turn off a breaker, and then run a Survey through this plugin, it will cycle through each device, forcing a status request, and will report any devices that do not respond to the status request. This should give you a list of devices that are on each breaker. |

Security Manager | Indigo 5.x-6 | Security Manager monitors devices you specify to see if your house is secure. The concept is relatively simple, if your device or devices are not in a state that indicates security (i.e., garage door is closed and front door is locked) then the plugin indicates that your house is not secured by toggling its own state on and off.

Switchboard | Indigo 5.x-6 | Switchboard is the successor / replacement to the Indigo Security Script. It allows Indigo to monitor any device for status changes and can trigger actions based on the status of the device. It also adds X10 Security monitoring, and allows for Monitored Device groups. This allows you to create a group of devices that can trigger an action, without having to write triggers for each and every device that makes up the group. Instead the Monitored device group will self manage the triggers. See more details here: http://www.schollnick.net/wordpress/home- automation/indigo-v5-plugins/switchboard/ While this can be used for "Security Purposes", this can be easily be used to simplify and customize any Indigo configuration easily. This is not limited to security purposes. |
