KMTronic Plug-in and Creating Devices on HomeSeer HS3

We already have a plug-in for Sonoff's with Tasmota firmware which works great and we use it all the time, but sometimes WiFi isn't good enough especially for controls outside of the home or in a situation where reliability is important. For these cases we introduce the KMTronic Web Relay, an Ethernet based 8 relay device with optional DIN mounting. With the Web Relay we can control 8 individual relays using HomeSeer and our KMT Plug-in. We already use these both inside and outside of the building and find them very reliable and cost effective especially as compared to devices such as the Adam 6060 at 5 times the price. Likewise, sometimes temperature measurement is required with a degree of reliability and flexibility, such as monitoring external temperature, or water temperature. The one-wire DS18B20 is an established and reliable sensor available in many form factors and each LAN-DS1820 unit can support up to 4 of these.
