Ping iPhone instead of GPS localization

[SDeath 63]

Instead of using the GPS localization which consumes enormous amounts of power from the iPhone, I want to let the HC2 ping every minute if it can find the iPhone on my local network.

And based on that set a value if somebody is home or not.

Since 3.486 os.execute doesn't work.

Anybody have an idea how to use that function?

This is what I want to do:

On the status log from the device. Similar as status updates from z-wave devices.

INteresting. In the top part of the window you mean? Nothing appearing there...

Here's my (very basic and similar to above) script:

tcpSocket = Net.FTcpSocket("10.0.3.104", 62078)

bytes, errorCode = tcpSocket:write("test")

if errorCode == 0

then

fibaro:setGlobal("RonaldThuis", "1");

fibaro:log("Ronald is thuis");

else

fibaro:setGlobal("RonaldThuis", "0");

fibaro:log("Ronald is niet thuis");

end

I also have a very basic block scripts which 'presses the virtual button' every minute. I sometimes DO see my global variable changing, but I see no log appear in the status window.

Also: does anyone know how long the tcpSocket:write() tries before it times out?

Thanks!

I am not sure as I don't have one, you can check with a port scanner.

Port 55000 works with Samsung TV and Galaxy just for reference

Try to find out what port your phone uses for sync with other devices.

This one you can use.

On Ipad i use "fing" to scan ip's and port

There's also an android version of this app.

Galaxy S3 1108/tcp

You want to use this as a virtual device button? (that has no triggers) in the current version (beta 3.506) NET library does not work yet in scene's.

You could make a scene which pushes the virtual device button every minute and use this code on a virtual device:

@Mark,

The code need to be entered in the string to send field in the Virtual device button

Is there a way to adapt this for more than 1 iPhone? So if my girlfriend comes over and I pop to the shop all of the lights don't switch off when I leave ?

So it could say something like

If john_at_home = 0 and kat_at_home = 0 then switch off the lights

Make a separate button (on the same virtual device) for each phone. You don't need a Target IP in the General settings of the virtual device. The script will handle this
