Ping local IP, trigger for scene?

[Spindel 3]

Is there a way to ping a local static IP and start a scene when that IP is not connected within HC2? 

 

I have a unit that tends to drop out of the network from time to time, a reboot fixes it and I want to use a wall plug to turn off/on when that happens.

Assuming it's a HC2 query, the following Network Monitor I wrote may help

I hope to have a HC3 version in the next few weeks

Do we end up on the occasional goose chase (for this situation)?

As I understand you want to verify with HC2 that some device doesn't lost connection, right?

Ping command is not supported by HC2 Lua, but if you can send any HTTP query to this device then you can do it.

Correct! 

 

I don't know about th Http query, the device is a google nest hub max.

 I have Google home where I do same as you requested.... don't know if nest supports same query. (depends on which port is open)

Let me know if you want me to post mine Google Home connection test VD to try if it helps you?

Google harmony guys in this post I have provided the native function from Fibaro

It's worth a shot, yes please!

I'm sorry, I don't understand?

Here is it

 

please change IP according to your setup and add your code in IF statement (marked red) in VD's main loop.

Currently I check connection every minute, change according to your need.

 

local res,googleHome,tcpSocket=0,{"off-line","on-line"},Net.FTcpSocket("10.0.0.162",8008)
res=tcpSocket:write(string.char(0x16));tcpSocket:disconnect()
if res==1 then
  -- add your code, device on-line
else
  -- add your code, device off-line
end
fibaro:debug("[res="..res.."] Google Home is "..googleHome[res+1])
fibaro:call(fibaro:getSelfId(), "setProperty", "ui.Label1.value", googleHome[res+1])
fibaro:sleep(60000)

 

By the way, I'm about to purchase Google Next Max (10" display) so could you please let me know if it works.

or I need to find a new solution.

 It works! (but...)

 

It senses my local IP as online (on-line shown in VD) when I import your VD and it also senses when I pull the plug (off-line shown in VD).

 

However, I think it somehow blocks my Nest Hub since it can´t connect to my network when the VD is imported. I tried removing the VD and rebooting the Nest Hub and it connects directly when booted.

This is very weird... while Nest not connected it cannot create communication.

Any how, I think the solution is when it is off-line you're switching the power Off/On, right. So please add fibaro:sleep(xxx) as long as it takes to Nest to connect back to network (plus several seconds to be on safe side)

Let's see if it works.

Another idea, as far as I know there are two addition ports that could be used: 8009, 8443.

Try that also

I actually tried without adding any code after if/else just to check the connection without doing anything. Do you think that could mess it up?

I tried some changes and now it seems to work nicely.

 

New port and a little sleep did the trick. You can see my power consumption graph below.

At first my sleep probably was to low (60s) so it couldn´t connect. 120s seems to work and is good enough for me, maybe I´ll try a lower number later on.

@AutoFrank did you ever invest time to create a HC3 version of Network Device Monitor?

@Drewb if not, maybe look overhere:
