Tonight my power supply crapped out. First time I have had a power supply issue. I heard some crackling on the house speakers and then nothing. I yanked the power supply and bench tested it and the voltage was lower than it should be. Fortunately, I have another power supply and was able to swap it out while I determine what to do with the bootie one.
In the meantime, I got to thinking - I use a plugin to check the status of other PC's on my network and can drive events to notify me if a PC goes offline. What do you use to test to see if the Homeseer box is online? Maybe a small app to run on another PC to email you if a ping to the HS box fails?
Looking for everyone's thoughts.
Thanks!
