HC3 check the internet connection and if connection is down then turn off wall plug and turn it on again

[janton 2]

Hi,

 

I managed to do this with HC2 (

) and added a block scene which turns OFF Fibaro wall plug and turns it again ON. 

 

I have connected Fibaro wall plug to internet modem which sometimes gets faulty etc.

 

So when Home Center realises that it has lost internet connection the modem gets re-booted. Of course there has to be for example 10 minutes waiting for modem to reboot and be up and running again before HC3 making again the internet checking test.

 

How to do this same with Home Center 3 ? There is no more Virtual Devices...

 

Any help is really appreciated

Hi,

 

thank you very much @Brors94 

 

 @tinman solution works great.

 

Should or need  I change the variables to my own ones?  It seems to work with pre-setted variables also (check connect). The QA replies that the internet connection is "True" with pre-setted variables also. 

 

All I need just to check if the internet connection is OK. No HC3 boot needed or other stuff. I made two block scenes that first one press the "check connect"button and if variable is "True" nothing happens and should not happen. Second block scene checks every certain timeperiod that if the variable is "False" then the scene will turn the wall plug power Off and On again.

 

I use DHCP network type in HC3 and my IP address is different then the pre-setted in the QA (below are pre-setted variable values). Also of course my hc3user and hc3pwd are different then the pre-setted values. Are those IP-address and hc3user / hc3pwd only needed if using the QA to other buttons then "check connect" ?

 

I mean these:

 

VARIABLE
TYPE
VALUE
hc3ip
String variable
192.168.199.77
hc3user
String variable
admin
hc3pwd
String variable
admin

yes, it must be the IP of your HC3, and your admin user and password.
