Can I trigger a device rescan via an event ?

[mikee123]

I would like to trigger a device rescan via an event or a script.
My Aeon Labs energy meter gets stuck every few days... this causes havoc in my system which gets unresponsive. I think to much gets stuck in the Zwave queue and blocks everything. Power cycling the device doesn't work. Rescanning sometimes does. I can create an event which checks if the power has not changed in a while, then trigger a rescan (if that's possible)

Hey Mike - almost two years later, I've got a similar scenario that would benefit from an automatic way of Rescanning a device, via an event. Did you find a workaround mate ?

No, I think the answer is its not possible. I occasionally have to rescan or power cycle, sometimes even exclude and re include. I learnt to live with it...

Hmmm, I wonder if there's a URL format that could be used to trigger this and/or similar commands and then that would be called from a script/event.

e.g.
http://ip/deviceutility?ref=152&command=rescan

I can't find any list of command line commands on the net, but the GUI does use a similar format.

Anyone else used a command line to trigger Homeseer commands ?
