Thanks Dave. I=E2=80=99m thinking about migrating devices to HA, and =
then complementing with MH for my light events, speech events, etc=E2=80=A6=
 I would be really interested in testing out the module. If you put in a =
pull request, might be a good time to gather everything in master for a =
release. Do you use insteon at all? I see there is an insteon module, =
and would be great to have an updated code base.
