Would it be possible to maybe add the following options?

UJ:
Great plugin, it has redone how I run my many home computer with the WOL function. This plugin will probably pay for itself in six months.

Would it be possible to maybe add the following options?

1- Optional faster ping rate after a WOL signal is sent. That way you don't have as long to wait to see if the computer responded when you are remote.

2- Optional faster ping rate while a computer shows troubled.

No logging

It would be nice if one could disable logging for specific devices.

It would be nice if one could disable logging for specific devices.

This feature has been implemented as of version 1.1.2764.33101. To use, simply set the "Do not log commands from this device" HomeSeer device option.

Nice!

Thank You.

One more, and perhaps it's just something I've missed (again).
My Ultramon is checking devices once per minute. Each time, there is a log entry to that effect;

<TABLE cellSpacing=2 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD class=LOGDateTime1 noWrap align=left>8/9/2007 10:37:51 AM </TD><TD class=LOGType1 align=left colSpan=3>UltraMon Info </TD><TD class=LOGEntry1 align=left colSpan=8>Monitoring IP addresses in 192.168.2/24.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Is there currently any way to supress this? I'd prefer the log were populated with needed information, Errors, abnormalities, etc.

[RonSmeets]

Do you maybe have "Debug mode" activated?
It's under Options.

[Wadenut]

Debug is Off.

I don't have IIS or any other web server on the box just Homeseer.

It worked immediatly when I changed it to port 80 and set it up, now it seems I can change it back to the original port and it works.

Event Trigger

UJ,

This plugin is great, plus I'm learning how to script.
When I create a new event and select these condtions...
Current Trigger Type: Device Value Change
Device: ComputerABC
The condition choices for "Becomes" lists Offline, Troubled, Unknown and Online.
Can the Condition choice "Any" be added so that when "Device ComputerABC Value Changes to Any", it will trigger the action requested?

Thanks again
Frank

Printer server

Great plugin, but I have a question.

Where I can find the XBox and printer device type?
Can find the device type : router, laptop, server, tivo, Wifi , media server computer and camera but not pre-defined device types printer and Xbox.
How can i solve this problem?

This message is written on startup. The other "offline", "online", "troubled" messages honor the "Do not log commands from this device" option.

I hope to post an update to UltraMon tomorrow that adds the "Any Value" as a trigger. I'll also be removing the redundant trigger values as HomeSeer has other ways to calculate how long a device has been online or offline.

I don't overwrite the hspi_ultramon_devices.xml file in the HomeSeer2/config directory. You can either extract it from the zip file or delete that file and re-install the plug-in.

I just installed the update and I will be very busy rewriting all of my scripts. Actually, this has made things a lot easier for my purposes. Once I rewrite the scripts, there are a lot of events I can delete, making things a lot easier to manage. Thanks!
