Disable an interface remotely.

Is it possible to disable Insteon/X10 Interface and ZWave Interface remotely?

I have had instances where a device (either insteon or zwave) gets into an "infinite loop" of the device going on and then off ... on and off. The only way I have found to stop this is disable the Insteon/X10 and ZWave interfaces and then enable the interfaces.

I use the Indigo app on my iPhone and I would like to be able to disable and enable the interfaces using the app. Is this possible?
Can I write a PYTHON script or use built-in SERVER ACTIONS on a control page?

OR is there another way of stopping the interfaces remotely, using a trigger???

Thank you!

Have you tried creating an action group with a "Server Actions -> Reset Interface Connections" action in it?

Thanks for your reply!

I tried "Server Actions -> Reset Interface Connections" and this did not work.

After posting the message - I stumbled on a solution for ZWave using Python Script ....

pluginId = "com.perceptiveautomation.indigoplugin.zwave"
plugin = indigo.server.getPlugin(pluginId)
plugin.restart()

I was unable to find any way of disabling the Insteon/X10 interface using python script.

The Reset Interface Connections action is the closest thing we have to restarting the Insteon interface.

I would encourage you to figure out where in your logic you're generating the infinite loop - solving the actual problem rather than treating the symptom is usually the best course of action.

Indigo does its best to detect infinite loops, but it can't always (particularly when a script is involved). See the General tab in the Indigo Preferences for setting loop detection.
