Indigo Domotics

Forgive me if this is already answered somewhere but I couldn’t find it.

Is there a way to automatically reload a plugin on a certain schedule? For example, reload X plugin every morning at 3am.

Thanks!

Take a look at this post: Reload, enable, disable plugin via trigger action / script?

Set-up an Action Group as shown in the above post and then define a schedule to execute it.

Jon,

Thank you. Sorry I missed that topic.

Okay, so I understand the script now and how I would automatically reload a plugin. With that being said, I don't quite understand how to find the specific file path to correctly point to the plugin to make it reload.

My goal is currently to automatically reload the Better Email plugin since it seems that gmail will time out the IDLE. Would anyone happen to know what the script would look like to be able to do this?

Thanks.

If the plugin's ID isn't specified in it's docs (it should be just for this situation but sometimes isn't) then you can open the plugin by finding it in a Finder window, right-clicking it and select Show Package Contents. This will open the plugin bundle - select the Contents folder and then select the Info.plist file. You should see the contents in the quick-look pane, what you're looking for is the value under CFBundleIdentifier.

Code: Select all

plugin = indigo.server.getPlugin("com.flyingdiver.indigoplugin.betteremail")
if plugin.isEnabled():
   plugin.restart()


But I think you'd get the same results by using the standard Indigo actions to disable and re-enable just the GMail IMAP device instead of restarting the entire plugin.

Or disable IDLE and go back to polling.
