I'm having trouble getting Smartphone Radar 1.1.4 to function as expected when parsing the Fing log.

From what I can see the plugin is processing the log correctly, but it is not setting the device state correctly for the device.

you are mixing 2 plugin is: finsgscan and smartphoneradar

the variable list is from fingscan. It has nothing to do with smatphoneradar -- besides both use Fing to get the data.

As they both use FING you must make sure that the fing output file(s) are at the right place to be used by both. there is some discussion on where to put it and how to start it to produce the right file(s)

Thanks for the reply Karl!

Are you saying that both plugins shouldn't read the same log file? I found that things would behave as expected if I have Smartphone Radar look at fing.data instead of fing.log.

[kw123]

you can configure booth that they read the same file / directory. give me a day, I will check.

use the following file path in smarthphone radar configuration. Then both smarthphone radar and fingscan should work peacefully together:

/Users/yourid/Documents/fing/fing.data

Hi Karl,

I'm pretty sure I have Fing working correctly - no errors in the Indigo log and the variable list updating correctly. 2 questions though:
1. I've changed the Nick-Names but can I change the names from ipDevice01 and so on to something more descriptive? Or is that set in stone?

2. You also say that Smartphone Radar can you the Fing log, and maybe this is a question from Travis, but I cannot see where one would use the Fing output inside Smartphone Radar.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

1. set fing log file in smartphone radar in config

2. the names ipdevicexx are hard wired. (that was limited by my python level when I wrote the plugin. )

1. set fing log file in smartphone radar in config

No option in the plugin config. I thought I had the latest version but the plugin is listed in Indigo as 1.1.3. I've seen 1.1.4 mentioned in the forums but try as I might, the last 30 mins, I cannot find the newer version.

EDIT: See screen grab.

select fing as router

select fing as router

I wish it was so simple. Like I said, is this only available in Smartphone Radar 1.1.4? And if so where can I find it? I've spent the better part of yesterday evening looking for the link in the forums and on the Indigo site in general and only turning up 1.1.3.

If it isn't because of the version then I've no idea why I'm not seeing the option to select Fing in the router drop down menu. Fing is working correctly on my Mac.

Thanks,

Simon

Eureka!

I am now able to use Fing.log in Smartphone Radar. Have to say I don't think I was being stupid here. I decided to read every message from the beginning of this thread and noticed on page 4 of 14 a post from bip.philippe with a download link and a comment that Smartphone Radar was modified to work with Fingscan. Blink and you miss the post/link.

All the other download links for Smartphone Radar across this website are still at 1.1.3 and do not have the option to select anything other than Generic or Apple/Time Capsule.

I'm posting this here as others are undoubtably going to come across the same issues as I have. (In fact I saw another post earlier with exactly the same questions as I had but without any solutions).
