Custom plugin development

deviating from standard channel and agent plugins

Hi, I'm new to plex plugin development, i went trough the documentation and got some sample code. I want to make a plugin for my home-control system (loxone) which is basically http/socket based.
What I would like to be able to do is display a floor-plan of my house, click a room and get a list of lights and other scenes I can activate/deactivate.
Listing the 'contents' of a room I think I will be able to do similar to the indigo plugin. It's the first part however I'm not sure I will be able to do in Plex, displaying the floor-plan and applying some sort of clickable map to it.
The documentation doesn't state the ability to display a html field or something (so I could use a html image map for example).
Any suggestions? or is it not possible you think?
cheers

The plugin framework isn’t designed for (capable of?) displaying custom interactive graphics like that. It’s really just intended as a list-hierarchy with media end-points. I don’t doubt you’ll be able to implement the controls you want but you’ll probably have to settle for a list of home regions.

You could design custom icons for each region to represent the layout of that region. That would, of course, make your plugin very user specific B)
