I configured a HS4 server (windows) to my sister.
I need to check if it is working or stopped.
I created an event (on my sister's HS4) triggered every 5 minutes. The event simple is an immediate command like:
This turn on a virtual device on my HS4 system (not in the same network!). On my HS4 system I have two events: the first turn off the virtual device if change to on, the second event check if the virtual device still OFF for more than 7 minutes, send me an email to alert me that my sister's HS4 system could be down.
This work well but I have to share my myhomeseer user and password into the command.
On my HS4 system I created a specific user and password for that, created a dynamic dns (the router port is opened).
If I am out of my network I can control my HS4 system:
It works but I need to insert user and password.
But if I use this immediate command (from my sister's HS4):
This not work.
What I'd like to do is a ping every 5 minutes from my sister's HS4 to my HS4 system.
Some Idea to have something like a whatcdog in order to check if an remote HS4 system is working?
