FTP?
Would this work on an FTP server path using a windows box? I'm looking at buying new cameras with PIRs. However, most cameras only send either an e-mail trigger (which is slow since HomeSeer can't check e-mail every second) or FTP notifications.
I can't figure out a way though to get HomeSeer to trigger on an FTP notification so I thought this plugin might work?

If you have no other files changing in the directory, try changing the filename to *.* which may work.

New or Deleted File NOT Detected
I am running HS3 Pro 3.0.0.97.
It seems that the FileWatcher Plugin works fine to see that a file has changed size but if a new file by the name in the configuration appears or is deleted then no action is triggered.
Is there a way to handle New and Deleted files?
Thanks.

No, only the actual files within a directory. Each sub directory would need to be monitored as well.

thanks Jon. In the case of monitoring a directory, are sub directories also monitored or should each sub directory get specified for monitoring. Sorry for all the questions. .I haven't yet given your plugin a try.

Hi Jon,
I want to monitor the log file of Barry Gordon's ProntoPAL program.
I want to trigger an event if a specific word occurs in the log file.
(not ANY changes.)
Is this also possible ?
Regards, Fischi

Right - Googling shows lots of issues with Office files due to their use of hidden files and then renaming.
Not Ideal, but you can monitor an entire folder using *.* to replace the filename and that seems to work.

Originally posted by jon00 View PostI thought I had rectified that issue with the latest version (1.0.2)....it is a known problem with the .NET routine that does this. What file are you monitoring?
I did more testing..
It will not trigger at all for a MS Word .doc or .docx file
It will trigger only once for a .txt file though.
Thanks

Great idea. I tried it today, the trigger works perfectly on file change.
Problem I have is that it double triggers. I tried delaying re-triggers but no help.
Is this something you have seen before?

Hi Jon. Thank you for continuing to support HS2. I wish more developers would follow your lead, since HS3 is still so bug ridden.
