[VD] Scene & VD Debug Watchdog 1.1

[AutoFrank 372]

Hi 

 

UPDATED 1.1

 

UPDATED THIS VD FROM A SCENE WATCHDOG TO A SCENE & VIRTUAL DEVICE WATCHDOG

Hopefully this will be a useful little VD to some users

It was inspired by a comment made by @tinman (I think) 

 

This VD Enables a user to scan all scene and virtual device DEBUG MESSAGES and trigger on predefined key words in the debug messages.

This may be useful to see if a scene develops an error or perhaps you are just looking for a keyword for a different reason

• All scenes and virtual devices are included by default
• Specific scenes and virtual device id's can be flagged to exclusion
• Separate watch lists for scenes and virtual devices
• A watchdog report is sent for all matches identified.
• Can be sent via email or smart message hub
• You get one email or message per id flagged ( not per watch word)
• It will send message if no match in either vd or scene is found (added in v 1.1)
• Suggested icon included below
•

Note: If you use the Smart Message Hub please add that scene ID into the exclusion list as that scene will be 
flagged by the watchdog after the first use.
  
This can be run on demand or on a schedule using Main Scene by @Sankotronic or similar.
I run it on a schedule once per day

 

Installation 

• Import the VD
• Configure the following as required

Please login or register to see this code.

• Place on a scheduler if required

 

The VD has a status label and when it was last run

 

        

 

and this is what the report looks like on pushover
