  1. Thank You Again. I know I'm Pushing it. 

    You are not looking for field tester, are You😃

    I added UNVR on 192.168.10.8 and connection to the Control4 controller is become intermittent, It keeps dropping it. Can some one please provide an example or an idea of rule(s) on the network, I would have to create

    **192..1.1-10. Network equipment.
    **192..9.2-100... Office, House and Smart Home equipment. 
    **192..10.2-50 CCTV Cameras 192...10.2-39
    UNVR is 192..10.8
    Control4 Processor 192..9.1

    If you’re on the home or office network, can you ping the UDM?

    If not, you most likely don’t have any rules in place to allow that. 

    You are right, I can't ping it from processor. Yet I can from my PC, Investigating

    Update: I'm using the ping driver, Noticed.  it can only ping processor itself or google.com. In my case at least 

  3. Hi.
    I downloaded the UniFi Network Controller driver for control4, but for some reason Can't make it work. Keep getting Error: 0-no communication. 
     
    I have 3 Networks set on my Dream Machine.
    **1. Network equipment.
    **2. Office, House and Smart home equipment. 
    **3. CCTV Cameras 192...10.2-39
    Dream Machine Address is 192..1.1
    Control4 Processor 192..9.1
    I assumed Address should be my UDM 192.168.1.1
     
    Any Help, Please

  4. Hi, everyone. I'm currently working on choosing an alarm system for myself and my clients.  My main goal always set it and forget it.

    My main question: Is there DSC compatible Wireless motion  sensor with no delay.

    Most sensors I've tried, Short of ""Control4 and "ClareOne" has some logic in them to save battery power. Sensor thinks: "I just reported, so no need to report second time with in with in few long minutes" or  "Was it a motion or not, lets wait to confirm"  

    So far tried DSC, IQ, and ClareOne. My personal non security expert opinion 

    DSC- Pros: Solid with serial connection. Cons: It is takes time. 

    Qolsys - Didn't get to do much of testing, stopped on motion sensor issue  

    ClareOne: It failed twice, what I remember, with in few months(2-3 months)

    So what are you trying to do that ovrc can't?

    Get log before rebooting. Yet, this is a  different subject. I created this topic For timestamp problem, I can easily see many different scenarios  where I'm going to use it.

    Just a heads up, but you're better off using something that uses http command to check if the internet is online anyway

     

    The free ping driver runs the ping command, and it's fairly public knowledge that drivers running commands likely will break in the future (for security reasons, and probably because I suspect they are blocking commands which stall everything else)

    I agree with You. I'm looking at Generic TCP Command driver, I just can't buy them all. Yet at least. If You can suggest anything else I'm very open,  My feeling for Generic TCP Command if/then I figurate it out, it opens more doors. 

    As for ping Driver, It does what it promises yet at least, it didn't work for me. If Host is nor reachable variable doesn't get updated. I already killed all the screenshotted code, and there is a critical error in it, so if reused use caution.

    {}{}{}commands which stall everything else) these are new words for me

    I’m still confused as to what you are asking?  So if internet is off do what?

    Before I figured out "Free  Ping Driver" not going to work for this challenge, The Idea was to save Three Variables with ping results and send email with those results with timestamp attached to each of them, once internet gets back. The code on the screenshot is not final, but should give an idea.

    From my Archives.... (not my driver)

    This driver provides a timestamp text string as a variable to use in email and push notifications.

    Through programming you select when to set the variable.
    Then you can include the last set in an email, push etc.

    Ether I'm doing something wrong or it is 3.2.4 version or else??.

    Variables:

      TempHoldTimestamp (string variable)

    Macro: Test

      Save Timestamp

      Delay: 2sec

      Set Variable ->TempHoldTimestamp to the value of test room->Timestamp->Timestamp

    As results I can see current Timestamp in Lua output of Timestamp driver. but "TempHoldTimestamp" variable doesn't get the value. it is get overwritten. before  I had run the test macro, I vent to variable agent in put random characters in TempHoldTimestamp variable, It got empty after running macro

    There are lua commands for grabbing current time.

    https://www.lua.org/pil/22.1.html

    You could use that and save the info to an array/table 

    This is a very same website I've got from Chowmain support. Can You or some one Please point me to the direction where to start. Links, Pictures, Project Samples . I'm Working on 3.2.4 version.

    Thank You for taking your time.

  10. Here is a challenge I want to solve:

    Record events during  the day or internet outage then by end of the day or when an internet comes back send an email with recorded events WITH timestamps. So I need to record the time of the event...
    My research got me nowhere while in the middle of this road i found people reporting doing so with Variable manipulator and os.time() and os.date(). yet Chowmain Software tech support told me I can do it. Had anyone actually done it?????
     
    Now I'm looking at  Generic TCP Command Driver. Is there some sort of  GET command to the controller to get the current Timestamp and then save it to the variable. 
    I've been doing Smart home programming for 15ish years, just never got myself to go  beyond click and drag, Better late than never: now time to get typing or copy and paste.
     
    Yet,  it could be as simple as having an inexpensive device on local network with the driver what would have a current time as a variable

    Many thanks,

    I had a couple issues over the last week. I was able to get it working again by re authenticating my pushover credentials. When i had issues i watched logs and noted that my pushover messages were sending something like the last 20+ messages all at once and everytime it was triggered it would mass send again causing the IFTTT Maker driver to not trigger properly. I had to reauthenticate twice and its been a few days now with no issues. 

    Not sure if that helps. 

    In my case Pushover part has been working very well for months (more then 6) as close to the perfect as it gets, I actually like it better over C4 home assistant new driver. Seems to be faster. If I may ask: What is Your local network build of?? Also I would check if it wasn't me creating self repeating loop.
