LAN Monitor / Network Device  Monitor {v2.6} ------ to be used with Smart Message Hub {v 1.0}

Modified to to be used with Smart Message Hub

- Label check removed to simplify virtual device

4 simple steps to upgrade from v2.5 to v2.6

1. Import the new virtual device
2. Configure your SendMsg preferences 
3. Copy your v2.5 jsonNetwork table to v 2.6 and set UpdateData to 'true'
4. Set UpdateData to 'false' and that's it !!

 

LAN Monitor / Network Device  Monitor {v2.5} ------ has built in Notification Services

The main difference between 2.0 and 2.5 are the following

• Virtual Device ONLY - ( no need for separate scene, table updates are now done through VD)
• Global variable table is created automatically created for new users
• Added HC2 Popup service as an extra notification option

 

The following features are still available

• Individual LAN devices can be marked for Alert
• Alert Notification options configurable for HC2 email (default), pushover, or ALLINONE (@jompa68)
• One Alert will be received when device goes offline and another when it comes back online
• Online/Offline status is captured in global table that can be used to trigger other events
• Debug routine called vdCheck will verify that correct quantity of vd labels and format was setup
• Status/Error/Check feedback through the virtual device log console as visible through the Web UI 

 

I use this to monitor Internet, Unifi Security Gateway, HC2, Sonos API (pi), TV's, Sat Box, Apple TV, Droid Box, Alarm Panel, Alarm Gateway, Syn NAS Global cache device, Cameras, Tablets, Sonos players, Access points and phones. Alerts setup for Internet, USG, Sonos API, Access points, cameras, Sonos players, Alarm panel, alarm gateway and NAS. There are some nuances with some devices such as TV's and Phones.

== INSTALLATION: Upgrading from 2.0 ==
    - Import the LAN Monitor 2.5 VD and copy in device table from Update Network Table 2.0
    - Run VD with updateData  = "true" to update the Network table (default setting is false)
    - Run VD with updateData  = "false" to operate in normal mode
    - Update notification and frequency of update options

 

== INSTALLATION: First Time Users ==
STEP 1  - Import the LAN Monitor 2.5 virtual device
        - Populate the device table. Device, ip, port and enter alert = "1" for device notification

               - alert is user configurible per device

               - alert = 1 (enable alerts - alerts sent if it goes offline or comes back online )

               - alert = 0 (disable alerts for this device)

        - Select the notification options 
        - Run VD with updateData  = "true" to populate the device table
        - Run VD with updateData  = "false" to operate in normal mode

Step 2 (optional) - create labels to display device status in VD
        - Create one label for each device in the global variable table, use the default ID - Label1, Label2, etc. 
        - Enter Label Names (1, 2, 3, etc) to match order order of devices in Table (devices can be skipped but ID's must match)
        - Select Main  label to display one device when observing through Web UI 
        - If you want to use all labels you can use Set vdCheck = "true" to confirm correct quantity and format of labels.

Released Network Monitor 2.5

Virtual Device ONLY - ( no need for separate scene, table updates are now done through VD)

Global variable table is created automatically created for new users

Added HC2 Popup service as an extra notification option

 

Updated First Post  with changes and new instructions

[ipsofacto 8]

Excellent.  Really useful.   

 

FYI   I adjusted line 142

 

Please login or register to see this code.

This means you name specify the same text for each monitored item in jN.device (e.g. "AppleTV") as in each label you add to the VD (e.g.  Label: AppleTV and Id:AppleTV.

 

Same change need at line #165

 

i found it slightly easier to set up the relationships between the jN table held in the global variable and the VD ui items that way.

 

Thanks AutoFrank.

Thanks @ipsofacto for the feedback

I'm curious as why you wanted the label id' the same as the labels

normally the id's are pretty transparent to the device

 

btw, I'm working on the next iteration which is looking to combine the Network Monitor/Alert with TTS functionality and create a generic Messaging Hub to enable users to send HC2 feedback from scenes and vd's in a number of different directions depending on type, function, time and urgency among other things....

 

[ipsofacto 8]

Just making it easy to set up for me.  No longer need to get same sequence in table and vid labels.  Agree makes no difference to functionality.  Thanks for sharing the new version! Worked out of the box - great!

@ipsofacto

that makes sense , I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss a use case

 

I actually do the same myself, I have about 6 devices that I view and have alerts on the rest

I also have 2 vd's (i just changed the table name for the second) and I check at a different interval for devices such as my sonos players.

I'm interested if they go offline but it's not as urgent as my cameras, my sonos-api going offine or the wine fridge temp going up

 

in the next version, any TTS that fails will be sent as a message so the information always gets through some way,  even 'internet down' which will be sent via the popup notification as pushover, email and TTS won't work at that stage..

 

if you have any other use cases or wild ideas please send them on..

 

 

thanks

HI Frank

 

 

Looks really great and I learn a lot from you already, but I'm curious, can you share some of the use cases why you want to know those (LAN) statuses ?

Hi @Patrick

 

For some like my cameras or the sonos api, or sonos zone players I want to know so I can fix (did somebody plug something out ) 

For other devices like my sat box, apple tv, I turn these off at night and this info lets me know that they are back running

For my TV's it's a little different  - the remote has only one power button for both on and off so knowing the LAN status stops me turning it off when I really want it turned on.

 

I don't really need the VD labels as I don't manually watch for status.

I started to create this as a scene initially so I would get the alerts but fibaro doesn't support tcpsocket in scenes ...

hello

how can I make the labels so I can see if the internet is online ?

hi @Winnetoe

 

If the internet is the first one on the list then just create a label with ID of Label1 and a suitable title

If it is second call the ID Label2, etc

What is the meaning of the IP table of the following items?

 

 online = "0", alert = "1", alertTrack = "0"},

Hi @samuel

 

online and alertTrack are used by the scene to track states

 

alert is user configurible per device

alert = 1 (enable alerts - alerts sent if it goes offline or comes back online )

alert = o (disable alerts for this device)

 

I'll add this to the first post

 

Thanks

[samuel 27]

ok, thanks

 

What is the portnumber of the following items?

- sonos speaker 

- apple router

- internet

@samuel

 

I thought the internet was in the table supplied but it's just the google homepage

 

ip="213.233.153.244", port="80",

sonos is the IP of the player and port 1400

sonosapi is the ip of where it is hosted and port 5005

 

I don't have an apple router but if you use a network scanner on your home network and then scan the IP of the router for open ports you should a couple

I use Fing and nMap is another network scanner

 

 

 

[samuel 27]

I will do so, thanks. sonos, router and internet got already working

Just a thought, how can the hc2 send out a alert to let me know that the internet is down, if the internet is down. Doesn't it use the internet to send out notifications, when I am away from home? :0)
