indigo utilities discussion

Thanks for the explanation Karl! Completely clear..

Hi Karl,

This looks like a very useful plug-in. However, WRT the database backup function, I think I'm confused on a basic point. I get an error in the backup log about /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 6/logs/indigo_history.sqlite being missing. Indeed I have no such file anywhere on my server. What is this file and how is it created? The only Indigo database I know of is <My_House_Name>.indiDb in the /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo/Databases directory.

Thanks.

Hello Dave,

This is only useful when you use the SQL Logger Plugin (listed in the default Plugin list).

added:
you can ping a device (ip number or dns name), output is send to the log file


Karl

Nice work! It could also be handy to have it output something like 'success' or 'failure' to a variable for triggering actions.

It much easier to do that in a script. ...

Karl,

Trying to use the plugin per your suggestion and getting the error:

File "plugin.py", line 94, in startup
OSError: (2, 'No such file or directory', '/Users/house.roque/Documents/indigoUtilities/')

I remember having a similar issue with your piBeacon plugin because of the unique name of my user directory. Tried creating the directory manual, but didn't work.

Any suggestion?

JP

v 1.7.3

should fix this. This is the problem where I used userid to determine the home directory. and if that was not the same ...


Karl

Karl,

Thank you for the path fix. However, I ran into another issue. As per the enclosed image, the device states are not showing. I have reinstalled the plugin and tried many devices. None of states show.

Any suggestions?

JP

click on "Select device" that will refresh the states.

this is a thing I don't like about the indigo interface: in order to get the fields sequentially addressed one has to go through hoops. So if sometimes the user needs to refresh some of the fields to make sure the required data is populated properly

sorry

Karl
