Homeseer has released a manufacturer’s edge driver for that specific model which is out of beta and is supposed to have full functionality. They’ve only done a couple of models so far, so the community-created driver in this thread does have many more models, but is still in beta, and may not have quite as much functionality for some models. So you might want to give the other one a try and see how it works for you.
Also, there is a discussion in that thread of a bug in the app which is causing the turn on issue you reported.
