Plugins
EZLogic plugins are small applications which extend the features of EZLogic, adding functionality that makes it easier for users to complete tasks without knowing code.
MiOS is committed to helping developers create plugins which expand and enhance the core functionality of our products. Our open platform and feature-rich APIs are designed to inspire developers to make truly wonderful plugins of their own.

- The following list will be updated as we create more plugins:
| Name | Description | Language | Type | Dependencies |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ezlo Wake on LAN plugin | Lets you send commands to wake local area network devices from sleep or hibernation. Simply add the target device’s mac address and port to begin using the plugin in a meshbot action. The target device must support the ‘Wake on LAN’ feature. | Lua | Gateway | Firmware – 2.0 and up |
| Ezlo Protocols Plugin |
Creates 3 devices which you can use to send custom HTTP, TCP or UDP commands in a meshbot: Triggers – use your own automation solution to trigger Ezlo scenes. Actions – send commands to target entities using the protocol of your choice. Each device contains fields that let you customize the request. |

| Ezlo DSC alarm panel plugin | Adds support for DSC alarm panels using the EnvisaLink 4 module. | Lua | Gateway | Firmware – 2.0 and up |
| Ezlo Ping Sensor Plugin | Monitors whether a specific device, service or website is reachable. You can trigger notifications or other meshbot actions if the entity goes offline. | Lua | Gateway | Firmware – 2.0.27. 1916 and up |
| Ezlo WiFi Device Generator | Easily create a virtual device capable of sending http commands to any physical WiFi device. This provides fast integration and control of generic WiFi devices without needing 3rd party plugins or logic engines. For example, you can create virtual switches to send http commands to node-red or IFTTT to control real devices on your network. You can control your virtual devices via dashboard tiles and you can also use them in meshbot triggers and actions. The plugin also lets you create shareable templates which other users can download and modify to suit their needs. |
