Ужасный плагин

Плагин постоянно глючит, очень ограниченный и кривой функционал!Если вы думаете устанавливать или нет. Некоем случае не делайте это!Сейчас есть много хороших альтернатив.

Disappointed

I am disappointed.Does not integrate with Hueman Pro and the Documentation is a joke.Seems to be outdated and not supported anymore as well, so this has been a waste of money.
