Remote shutdown RasPi

[alexbk66]

It's very important to shutdown RasPi properly before disconnecting power - to avoid corruption of SD card. Would be nice to add ability to shutdown RasPi from HomeSeer.

But that is already possible ?

Is it?

I don't think that's already possible with the RaspberryIO plugin, but I will add the possibility to reboot or shutdown a RPi from HS as event actions.

Cool, thank you!

I added shutdown and reboot event actions in version 3.0.0.13, that you can install from the Beta section of the updater, or there is a remote install package available here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/oaivpev2nn...l_3-0-0-13.zip

Do we need to update the RaspberryIO Instance? Or updating Plugin on HS is enough?

I installed Beta 13, but when I execute the Shutdown event action - I get an error in log:

You need to make sure to use action corresponding to the instance running on your RPi, i.e the one called "RapberryIO Action - <InstanceNAme> ", see screenshot in my above post.

If that's not the problem:
What OS are you running on your RPi?

the Shutdown action actually run the following command:

/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/shutdown -h now 'shutdown from HomeSeer'

do you have a sudo in /usr/bin and shutdown in /sbin?

Thank you spud - selecting the instance fixed the problem. I have only one instance - so not sure why there's two in the selection?

because you probably enabled the local instance which runs on your HS3 machine. You don't need to do that unless your HS3 machine is also a RPI.

Is it also possible to add remote start? WOL or something else? Thank you!

No it's not possible because when the RPi is not running, the plugin does not run either.
