I've been wanting to use the Pro line for a while, but all the experts said it complements my existing circuit breakers and that it does not offer the protection of a conventional one, so the only way to add the Pro's was by expanding my existing breaker box (which I was not eager to do).

Is this new product what allows me to replace them all and have a smart breaker box(provided I get the right amperage) and also replaces the need for a EM clamp? Or am I misunderstanding the use of this product?

Hey everyone,

I’m not a coder by trade, but I’ve always been pretty tech-savvy, and I have been absolutely loving Hermes so far. It's been able to not only help push my abilities, but actually get stuff done that I haven't been able to for ages (such as moving my entire stack into Docker (a small example of my level of understanding)).

One of my biggest use cases in Hermes is scheduling messages across my different platforms (mainly using the Beeper integration, but also the WhatsApp connection), because I like to keep an eye on what Hermes plans on doing. The problem is that doing this natively overfills my cron job tab, so I set out to create a dedicated dashboard plugin (and tab) where I can easily view, create, edit, and delete my scheduled messages without cluttering up my system cron jobs tab (Ideally in both the WebUI as well as the Gateway).

I decided to try and vibe code this plugin myself (supposedly according to Hermes guidelines on creating a plug-in). I put together what I thought was a really solid gameplan/architecture (which you can see in the plan.md file), and I've been using Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview to try and build it. I figured it would be a capable enough model to get me there, but honestly, even after a majestic failed attempt and restarting from scratch with the aforementioned solid gameplan, I still haven't been able to get a working prototype off the ground, since I'm unable to verify the code for myself.

I was hoping to get advice on how I can better use Hermes/Gemini or any other more suitable model (prompting techniques, specific workflows, or tool combinations) to actually get this across the finish line, or, better yet, someone who would be interested in using a solution such as this one and could help me finish this project.

I’ve pushed everything I have so far to GitHub here, so anyone can take look:  https://github.com/SmoothMarx/Hermes-Message-Scheduler

This is actually my first coding project, so if you end up contributing, please bear with me while I learn how to use GitHub and what all the different terms mean.

Thanks in advance, and I'm looking forward to the feedback!

PS: If you smell some AI in my text, it's because it helped me through the initial writer's block and gave me the outline for the post. I then filled in the details accordingly.
