[RELEASE] Device Watchdog

bptworld · January 25, 2019, 7:54am

I just ran some tests and I can't reproduce the problem. If I set the level to 75, no devices show up. Set it back down to 45 and 2 devices show up on the list.

One thing to note, if you add devices to HE after setting up the battery monitor, you need to go back into the app and toggle the 'all devices' switch off and then back on or it won't see the new devices.

I haven't added any devices since installing the app. All of my devices were already set up before I installed the app.

Let me try toggling it back on and see if it works.

I'm stuck with this status:

Devices that have not reported in for 3 hour(s)

Oops!

Something went wrong. Please hit 'Done' and come right back here again.
Still working on what causes this sometimes!

Ok, hit 'done' to go back to the previous page...wait 30 seconds and click the button to go back to the report. If you still get that screen, go back again and regenerate the report.

Going to attempt a rewrite today, hopefully improve the reporting.

Mate
Would you consider write an update function on the app?

I believe made his code for this public available? @Cobra can you confirm/deny please?

Cobra · January 28, 2019, 12:54pm

An early version is on my github but it can be found in any of my drivers/apps.

Somel · January 28, 2019, 1:00pm

Thanks mate

bptworld · January 28, 2019, 1:22pm

All my apps already check to see if there is an update available. Just scroll to the bottom of each app.

Somel · January 28, 2019, 2:08pm

Which version was it implemented?
I have 1.07 and I see nothing for it at bottom of the page?
What I'm expected to see?

bptworld · January 28, 2019, 2:12pm

1.0.8 had the new footer with links

current version is 1.0.9

Somel · January 28, 2019, 2:13pm

So I'm two versions behind hence the importance of such feature.
Thanks for adding it.

bptworld · January 28, 2019, 4:36pm

New version on Github...

V1.1.1 - 01/28/19 - Under the hood rewrite, better reporting. Also added NEW Device Watchdog Tile for use with dashboards

This is a cool app

What do you think about an option to flash a light or turn on a device or something like that when there is an error (no activity or low bat)?

Maybe I can mod the code and try it out

mike · January 31, 2019, 12:16pm

I had my hub slow down today. I installed this app a few days ago. I've since paused this app, and rebooted the hub. I'll report back if the slowness returns, or otherwise.

I liked the report and it helped me solve a dodgy device, so I'd like to get it going again.

bptworld · January 31, 2019, 2:16pm

Good idea...new version on Github

V1.1.2 - 01/31/19 - Added ability to turn on a device when there is something to report

kv1 · January 31, 2019, 2:47pm

@bptworld

WHAT????????????????????

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mike · February 1, 2019, 12:47am

I paused this app yesterday (child app), and just got a message today. So the pause button is not working.

bptworld · February 1, 2019, 1:44am

Thanks for that. Should be all set now. New version on Github

V1.1.3 - 01/31/19 - Fixed Pause and Disable/Enable not working.

kv1 · February 1, 2019, 3:43am

Is the proper way to install an update to just copy / paste the code from GitHub back into the apps code panes ? Is that the right way to do it?

Thanks!
