ObserverIP Reboot

[langenet]

Does the reboot not work for you? Just wondering why you power cycle it instead of just issuing the reboot?

Looks like an old thread, but I noticed my observer IP locked up. Firmware 4.6.1. Polling every 5 minutes. Have a Zwave applicance module on the way to enable a reboot every few nights.

I use this with my IP ofcourse:

&nhs.GetURL("192.168.1.141","/msgreboot.htm",0,80)

Thanks, I think I can get that to work....

What does your script look like? I used:

hs.GetURL("http://192.168.0.221", "/msgreboot.htm", False, 80)

but it didn't seem to help.

I put this in a script that runs every night at 11:57 PM. So far so good........

Thanks for letting me know.

I never responded back but I too have been doing the same around midnight or 1am and also have had no issues.

The following is the URL that will initiate a reboot of the OIP:

http://IP_ADDRESS/msgreboot.htm

A standard GET call to this will start the reboot.

Thanks,

I'll test it out.

I completely understand that. My intention is to run an event every night before the OIP quits responding rather then waiting for a no response then cycling the power. I understand this is not ideal (the OIP shouldn't need to be rebooted at all), but this could start working today for no cost. Ordering a Z-wave outlet would take me a few days to get and cost me as much as a OIP does. I'm still going to test the firmware upgrade again, then I'm going to try to find over firmware to roll back also. Having more options is only to my advantage.

Preemptive strike!

Here's the problem I see with the HTTP reboot.... if the OIP is frozen then the HTTP call WILL NOT work...... the method most people have been using is a z-wave plug to do a power cycle as if the OIP is frozen then NO http call is working which is also the cause of the plugin not working.....

Yes this would be great thanks for looking into it. I know it's nothing with you plugin so please don't think I'm blaming you on anything. I'm hoping an OIP firmware will fix it sometime, but for now having a HS event call an HTTP reboot command every night at say midnight should temporarily fix all my issues. I have to much automation based on day/night and temps based on this plugin/weather data to have this fail. Which it has started doing now that I upgraded OIP firmware.

Again not a plugin problem.

There's the button in the browser yes. It's just a matter of figuring out the correct http url structure to call... as I have time I'll try and figure it out, or if someone else does great. I've also sent Ambient Weather a request asking for the direct URL hoping save time.

It would be a nice addition to the plugin. To have the plugin work correctly with my WS-1550-IP in local mode only would be even better...

LOL... yeah it would be nice... but the plugin works fine it's the OIP module that has the issue. I hear the WeatherFlow plugin and system works well?
