Dan,

I researched that plug in for a while.  The impression I got from reading
the HS message boards is that it is underdeveloped, unsupported, and
overpriced.

I don't think the new version, Homeseer 2, has an MCE interface natively. As
for front ends, they seem to be mostly pushing MainLobby.

I don't know anything about MCE, will be buying a copy soon.  I *suspect* it
might prove easy to create your own HS interface. We'll see.
