Restart Z-Wave Interface

Hi all,

yesterday at my parents' house there was a power black out.
MacMini restarted and everything was fine, but the Z-Wave interface had some problem (it was red in the left bottom corner); using the Menu, I restarted it.

I did a quick search inside Server Actions and I found something similar, to restart the Interfaces when needed.
I would like to perform this action after the black out. I saw there is a "power failure" trigger; when is this trigger invoked? Do I need an UPS to get this trigger working?

Do you have something similar?

Thanks
Marco

Re: Restart Z-Wave Interface

Unfortunately, both the power failure trigger and the reset interfaces action only apply to power line based interfaces (X10 and INSTEON). We need to change the verbiage to be more clear.

Although Indigo cannot detect a power failure without a power line based interface (INSTEON/X10), you can create an Action Group that performs the Z-Wave reset by having it execute the following embedded python script:

Code: Select all
pluginId = "com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.zwave"
plugin = indigo.server.getPlugin(pluginId)
plugin.restart()

Hi Matt,

thanks for the clarification.

Ok, then I will put the restart of the Z-Wave interface after the Indigo Server start (with a delay of couple of mins)

Thanks
