From HomeSeer
The Direct Input Connector plugin creates HomeSeer devices for Joystick and Gamepad Buttons and Axis. You can break-down a cheap $3 gamepad, and use all the buttons/axes as USB or Joystick port wired inputs for HomeSeer.

- You can Enable / Disable any Joystick or Axis or button
- The plugin is notification based. There is no thread polling the joystick devices every 10ms...
