Automatic Restart or Reboot Home Center lite

[Ramon 1]

Dear Community,

 

I have a problem regarding a Home Center lite. After a week the Sensors cannot be armed anymore. As soon as I manually reboot the device everything works fine again. I would like to have a solution so that the HCl reboots automatically. For the HC2 I found some nice LUA Code. I was wondering if this is also possible with a HCl compatible HTTP request. 

Thanks in advance for your help

In my example the admin: password is 'only' representing the administrator login and password, so this has to be exactly YOUR login information.

I am running 4.134 Beta and can confirm it runs correctly.

 

By doing the following I can get my HCL to restart on a schedule as a virtual device

 

To do this:-

 

First off create a  Virtual Device by going into Devices and selecting 'add or remove a device' the select 'To add the Virtual Device'

In the general tab name the Virtual Device   Fibaro Restart

Add the device into what room you would like it in

Enter your HCL IP address (if you dont know it, look in the configuration tab)

TCP port is   80                            **Previous guides mention it could be 1111 however port 80 works for me under this firmware**

 

Select the Advanced Tab

Scroll down to the bottom

Label:- Restart

ID:- Restart

Check the Main button on the right

Enter the below information into the text box **Ensuring you add your own ip and admin:password infomation as explained below)

 

 

GET /api/service/reboot HTTP/1.1
Host: ***.***.*.**                                                        (Replace the stars with your Home Centre Lites IP address, find this in configuration if you dont know it)
Authorization: Basic
****************************************************              (Replace the stars with your admin:password example myaccount:mypassword coded in base64) get this here

Please login or register to see this link.

 

Ensure after you enter your admin:password in base64  that you press enter twice (this leaves two spaces) and then save.

 

In my example i used myaccount:mypassword as my user and password if you are using the base64 code program correctly, it would give you this as the result:- bXlhY2NvdW50Om15cGFzc3dvcmQ=

 

So presuming my ip is 192.168.9.9 a working example would be **ensuring to hit enter twice after your base64 code / username&Password**:-

 

 

GET /api/service/reboot HTTP/1.1

Host: 192.168.9.9

Authorization: Basic

bXlhY2NvdW50Om15cGFzc3dvcmQ=

 

 

To then create the scene to trigger you can do the following:-

 

Go to your Scenes tab and select add new scene

 

Select 'Add scene using graphic blocks'

 

Click on the '+'. 'Timers > 'Days of week'

 

Highlight the days you want your HCL to reboot and the exact time you want it to reboot, I reboot each morning at 01:00

 

Change the 'And' already populated to 'Then'

 

Click on the bottom '+' > ' Scenes' > 'Room you selected earlier where your HCL is located' > 'Fibaro Restart'

 

Save your scene

 

You can test by manually running your scene in the scene tab by pressing play on the scene (also ensure the scene is turned on to to allow the scene to run as per your schedule).

 

I hope this helps some of you.

Hi, unfortunatly, the procedure you have described doesn't work for me. :-(. I'm running the 4.130 version.

Nothing happens when I click on the button "Restart"

This works for me and i even tested it with HC2 (v.4.134 beta)

 

GET /api/service/reboot HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.9
Authorization: Basic

bmV3YWdlc3lzdGVtc2x0ZEBnbWFpbC5jb206TW9ycGhhZHJvbjE5

 

Port 80 for the virtual device.

 

And yes, there are 2 lines below the code. When i change the view to LUA the code for username:password appears on the same line with the Authorization: Basic and it is easier to add two more empy lines below the code.

 

The scene is as it is shown in the cookbook of HCL and it works on days of the week and hours. And yes, do not reboot the system if a scene for auto on or auto off of a device (say boiler) is triggered, because it will not work and it will not be OK to leave the device working all night or not start the boiler and in the morning you will end up with no hot water

 

I hope this was helpful.

 

Cheers!

Hi,

You can test this, (for version 4.130 or more) :

 

Please login or register to see this spoiler.

 

Change your VD ip:127.0.0.1 and port:80

And you MUST enter two empty line at the end of the above string!

Seems like it's not working anymore either, unless I do something wrong:

Worked! The issue was to change:

POST -> GET

Settings -> Service

11111 -> 80

0x0D0x0A0x0D0x0A at the end

 

The rest is still the same.

So I am really confused by this thread and what works for latest build. I have the following:

 

Please login or register to see this code.

 

Now I generated the password as :

 

[email protected]:password

 

In the virtual device I put 192.168.1.110 and port 80...nothing seems to be happening....what am I doing wrong here?

Hi
Import the file and change the IP address and password.
Be careful not to change spaces and the 2 empty lines at the bottom.

After praising, I noticed some days my VD on schedule restart is not working some days is working. I had recreated the VD & scene plus tested manually to ensure the string are correct then make it run on schedule...intermittent status begins

 

So now I have to schedule myself to check if it was restarted daily on schedule.

 

Schedule to check on schedule... *faint*
