Hi, working on all that (documentation and MHH product website) -- this has been a pet project of mine for many nights and weekends, my wife and kids keep asking when it will be done, LOL -- hopefully some of the beta testers of MHH can vouch for simplicity and ease of setup -- it's been in testing for over 6 months -- so this wasn't a rush job, but it is an ongoing iterative process and there are lots of complexities in this product as well as lots of different Leviton/HAI configurations out there. Motivation kicked in to top gear when Haiku Helper went away and I lost my push notifications... now, I finally got to a minimum viable product and I'm releasing it for everyone to enjoy. This is hopefully just the beginning and others find the value of this endeavor...
As for the familiarity -- yes, that is intentional and a tribute to Haiku Helper, as many, including myself, were fans and users of that software. That said, the generic/standard controls of the Mac interface and how they are arranged are not proprietary to anyone company. There is also ZERO codebase being shared -- wish that wasn't true -- as it would have made things a whole lot easier.
No scripting yet, the framework of the application allows for this, but I have not put that into this initial release. It is a feature I've had requests for and is on the product roadmap -- it will most likely be a "PRO" version in-app purchase when released. I am a little reluctant to provide this because it could cause instability to the app and become a support nightmare -- I know the Haiku folks had warnings about scripting... so I may have to adopt something similar. I've tried to capture most of the typical scripting like notifications and customized messages, etc without having to use scripting... so depending on how you are using scripting, the current release of MHH could satisfy you.
Also, the $100(Apple takes 30%) price is primarily for the HomeKit bridge and push notification (paired with our iOS app) capabilities -- that alone is worth it if you compare to other hardware solutions -- I didn't want to do a subscription model for the helper, so a one-time purchase with in-app features where appropriate is the business model I'm using for the Helper. TBD if this was a smart move or not...
Also, if you have any feature requests that require a "server" component that makes sense to add to Myro:Home Helper, I'd love to hear about them...
Bit of background of my company, Myro Control, LLC is a U.S.A based company that has been around since 2009. First product was a PC version of Myro:Home (www.myrohome.com). Also, manufacture two hardware solutions, Myro:Bridge (www.myrobridge.com), bridges Russound whole house audio systems to Sonos and Matrix switches and the Myro:Air (www.myroair.com), an Apple MFI certified audiophile grade AirPlay streamer. As I'm also a user of these products and privacy is an important element of the company. I hope to continue to build the brand around maintaining that trust while creating great products.
