UltraMon3 (Network Monitor) For HomeSeer3

[Ultrajones]

UltraMon3 HSPI version 3.0.5978.29101 should fix that issue.

Fantastic. Thanks for the quick fix.

I notice that it takes a while to loop through just a few devices. Is the system polling the entire IP segment or just the selected (turned on) devices when sending out pings ?

Hello,

What is your definition of "takes a while"? On my system, a check of 256 IP addresses is taking about 35-40 seconds.

My plug-in takes the entire set of IP addresses that need to be check, then distributes them between processes that check if the device is connected to the network. In addition, my plug-in listens for certain network packets to determine if a device is just powered on or just powered off. This allows the plug-in to detect a change of state a little quicker.

New Devices

I am trying out the plugin and it took some work to get it going.. not sure it installed correctly the first time so I had to retry. I finally got it go (I think). I got the following errors, but seems to be finding items once I added the 3 subnets I use as single /24 since the /22 did not work.

I was surprised the HS items are not part of the devices... I added my Z-NET Remote Plus Interface but cannot figure out how to do any images. Do we just put in a request for standard images to be added to the plugin?

Thanks,

Michael

Hello Michael,

I have a similar request from another user to add at least 10 new device types. Please reply here and let me know what you're looking for. I'll get the new images added as soon as possible.

Thanks!

I would like to see the Z-Net, IP Thermostat, Harmony Hub, Generic Security System (I use EnvisaLink), SmartTV, Satellite, Cable or TV alternate Box (like Ruko)

Thanks,

Michael

Shutdown Service not working

Has anyone got the shutdown service to work? it just doesn't send the request. I get an error stating it failed to send.

I am running it on Windows 10. i also tried using psshutdown but i dont get an error int he log and it fails to work.

how do i go about troubleshooting this further?

same thing here, did you ever find a solution?

[macrho]

This wound up working for me: https://forum.sysinternals.com/psshu...26.html#147826 though I'm using shutdown service

Any plans on supporting HS3 linux for this?

+2 for linux support. I'm trying to migrate my HS3 setup from an ancient Win7 VM to a Raspberry Pi3 running Raspbian. I've moved everything over except for UltraMon.

Is there a way to get instant status for just one device ? ( my TV )

it would be the only way i could monitor if the device is on/off , because i use lgtv2mqtt ( https://www.npmjs.com/package/lgtv2mqtt ) to control my tv and there is no possibility to know if the tv is on or off like that

[MattL0]

my iphone takes like 15 secs too change his status..

the tv it is like 5 minutes..

and i can't see my echo dots or add them mannually

The plug-in checks for ping response. My LG TVs keep the network alive for a little while after the TV is off, so it takes a little while for UltraMon to stop seeing pings. You can alter the number of missed pings before a device is offline under options.

To get (relatively) instant indication of whether my TV is On or Off, I use smart outlets that report current consumption. They can report as quickly as a few seconds, if you want to flood your Z-Wave network with traffic. I have mine report every 30 seconds, which is quick enough for us.

Echos cannot be detected with this plug-in because they do not respond to pings. Jon00's script can pick them up from ARP.

[MattL0]

Thank you . The outlet seems a good alternative.

[Ultrajones]

I had to disable an option that would have noticed your TV powering on in the last plug-in update. It's being added back in this weekend's update I'll be posting. I'll also be enabling an option to just use an ARP response for those systems that don't support ICMP ping. My plug-in already does the query, but currently requires an ICMP ping response to consider the host to be online.
