alanchow Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 HI guys, To celebrate our partnership with Houselogix ( are giving away a FREE Ping driver. This FREE ping driver (unlike the ping driver on the Control4 online database) performs a real ping on any device/service IP address or hostname and returns the results as a variable (percent loss) and also fires one of three eventsDevice OK (0% loss)Device Intermittent (anything between)Device Offline (100% loss)Upon receiving these event notifications you can program the system to power cycle the device connected via IP controlled outlets (like the Belkin WeMo or APC PDU's) to bring them back to life.Note this driver will only work on OS versions 2.6 up and can be downloaded from our website. wappinghigh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanchow Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 This seems to keep coming back to haunt me. As such i have now created a driver that will do this properly. Have tested this over 4 months and it reboots upon internet outage only and is autonomous. So much so that i have had to use the Chowmain logger to keep tabs on it.
