Ping IP

[deanrparry 19]

How can I get the following to change value ONLY once if errorCode does not change rather than all the time?

I have it display a message on TV saying "Wife is Home" but it CONSTANTLY does it rather than just once... HELP!

-----------------------

tcpSocket = Net.FTcpSocket("192.168.0.11", 5555)

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

if errorCode == 0 then

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

fibaro:log("S3 - Ping Successful");

fibaro:call(1304, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", "Ping Successful");

else

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

fibaro:log("S3 - Ping Failed");

fibaro:call(1304, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", "Ping Failed");

end

tcpSocket:disconnect();

fibaro:sleep(10000);

-----------------------------------

very odd it has stopped working... not sure how reliable this pinging is... if i remove the additional if then it starts to work again... not sure if i can use the global variable instead? is that possible?

if Dean == 0 then

Robmac sorry to bother you but i assumed

if fibaro:getGlobal("Dean") == 1 then

end

would work but it seems not to? does that look right? i feel it is!?

tcpSocket = Net.FTcpSocket("192.168.0.11", 5555);

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

if errorCode == 0 then

if tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("Dean")) == 0 then

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

fibaro:log("Ping Successful");

fibaro:call(1304, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", "Ping Successful");

end

else

if tonumber(fibaro:getGlobalValue("Dean")) == 1 then

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

fibaro:log("Ping Failed");

fibaro:call(1304, "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", "Ping Failed");

end

end

tcpSocket:disconnect();

fibaro:sleep(10000);

this works for about a minute then seems to fall asleep and not work anymore any reason why?

Maybe you can try to add between the first and second line:

As far as I know, the errorcodes returned are:

2 = offline

1 = timeout

0 = data received
