Also check out the HomeSeer forum...

http://board.homeseer.com/

Back when, that's where I and a bunch of others would hack out our code.

WARNING... I spent an unbelievable number of hours over the approximate 2 years I was playing around with that stuff.  I would recommend that most people just go with the stuff/plugins that are already available and supported UNLESS you really like projects, and in that case I say hit the forum.  When I was doing all the coding it was mostly because there wasn't the things available that I wanted at the time and now many of them are.

As for all of the code that i have on my HomeSeer system... it was made very unfriendly to make it easier for me to make it very specific to my situation and would not work outside of my system.  But I did work with several projects on the forum with others... the main one was a project called "Now Playing".  But again, that was years ago and the last I knew, one of the other guys on the forum that I communicated with often, picked up my code, added to it, and made a plugin that they were selling back then.  So my final advice would be...

- Use as much of the ready made (work out of the box) stuff as you can.
- And if you like projects... hit the forum and see what happens.
