That's your choice. Others of us may like to automatically update our hubs based on rules related to the latest update version, if it has remained unchanged for several days, etc.
i was looking at integrating the new fw update stuff with my own modified version..
there is a typo/bug in your code
you call the new input paramter here
input("fwUpdatePollRate","number", title:"Poll rate (in seconds) for FW Update Check (Default:6000, Disable:0):", defaultValue:6000, submitOnChange:true)
}
fwUpdatePollRate
but reference it as a differnt name elsewhere fwUpdateCheckPollRate
if(fwUpdateCheckPollRate == null)
device.updateSetting("fwUpdateCheckPollRate",[value:6000,type:"number"])
if(fwUpdatePollRate > 0 ) updateCheck()
}

Thanks, I'll get that corrected.

For those that do not want to install your new app to notify here is a rule machine 5.1 rule to do the same.. the trigger is custom attribute. You cannot use notification app as you know as that does not support custom attributes.

Not that I don't appreciate your work.. I just need finer control over the contents of the html attribute to have it display what I want and fit into the hubigraph tile I have on my dashboard.
Not a problem, customization of the output (along with the desire to combine multiple hubs into one output) is one of the reasons I wrote
I don't believe there is a one size fits all. Target is to try and hit the sweet spot for 80-85%, and then help those that want a more custom solution.

To paraphrase The Beatles “Hold my hand”
Remember, I am an old fart. How the sam hill (sorry to any Sams here) do I use this? Read almost every post, and now I feel like I missed a few days of school.
This is a driver, so it needs to be associated with a device. Which one?
No chuckling please. This smart stuff is really stretching my capability.
It’s a virtual device driver, i.e. it is the device it defines.
-
Install device driver
-
Create a virtual device.
-
Assign it a name and then at the drop down list where you select the device driver use the Hub information driver you installed.
-
This device then becomes available for dashboards, RM, etc. For instance you could then put the Hub temp on a dashboard, just as you would put the temp of a temp sensor on a dashboard.

And, if you use the HTML device and corresponding tile, it puts all the useful information in a single tile.

Thanks for that I setup dashboards a while back with individual tiles and had not noticed the HTML attribute. That is much nicer.

What a nifty device... And using your hub monitor app really is the icing on the cake.

Hi @thebearmay
Just thought I'd pass on that I had defined a rule to notify me when a hub update was available as shown in you superb driver.
Guess what, notifications duly arrived on my phone. Brilliant.
Thanks again for this.

A couple things.
First, I could have sworn it had been discussed early on but what kind of numbers should we generally be concerned about (levels, that is)? Maybe add these as a suggested default value?
Also, is there an event that can be used as a trigger for when an update is started?
I posted my thoughts on CPU load as an edit on the first post some time back, but as for the rest everyone's setup, app/driver, and risk tolerance mix is different so it's difficult to say what is a good number.
For my hubs I'm using these numbers as alert levels, but they may or may not be acceptable for your use:
Max Temperature 140 °F (60 °C) - my C7s generally run between 98 °F-112 °F (36.7 °C - 44.5 °C) but will spike to as high as 141 °F (60.5 °C) at reboot
Max DB Size 80 - my production hub is generally in the neighborhood of 24-38, with my dev hub usually around 12-20
Min Free Memory 250000 - production hub usually drops to around 415000 a short time after reboot and then slowly drops over time, dev hub drops to about 520000 after settling in from a reboot and then very very slowly decreases over time
Assuming you mean an update of the hub firmware, I haven't seen anything directly but there are a couple of attributes you could look at and trigger on a change after update (firmwareVersionString, hubUpdateStatus).

My thinking was, to get out a command to Fully Kiosk to load a different screen while updating so no body interacts with the dashboards during the process.
Thank you for the other info.
The only thing I can think of there is if you would ping the hub and get a timeout error returned....
Installed this great app today and was concerned because my C-4's temperature reading was 68C/154.4F. A quick device surface scan with my IR Thermometer gives a 95.5F reading and the device's surface temperature does not feel hot when touched. No idea what to do with this information, everything else seems OK.
