Jon00 Remote Computer Control & Network Monitor (HS2, HS3 & HS4)

[jon00]

Scheduler.dll is a HS3 Library file.

All I can suggest is to restart HS3. There have been a number of problems with 3.0.0.181 so perhaps this is also related.

[CharlieWayne]

Restart did not change anything.

Do I need to submit a bug report or is this something you will take action on?

I had issues here with 177 & 181 and currently running 182.

I am also using a free auto starter program called RD from R2 studios. Works well with the touch clients that I manage with Jon's remote application.

Where can I get the .182

Looks like version 182 was pulled. 181 is still there. Here is the link to 185.

Note that I haven't tried 185 yet as I am on 182 (well and have bugzilla tickets open on it right now)

Just remembered too that you are running a VM of W2008 64 bit eh? Wondering if that could cause an issue? Have you run the application-script before?

Here I am running a W2003 32 bit VM inside of Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit. I use it only for my speaker dot exe and my Microsoft SAPI TTS voice fonts.

That said my HStouch HS3 clients are running embedded windows.

HS3 is running on Win7 Pro.

So I updated HS to the 1.85 and things started to work again. While looking for the status update on my HTPC machine, I noticed all the RCC files were gone as well the HS devices. Reinstalled all these and recreated devices, and things are running smooth now.

Question, How can you monitor mobile devices such as android or such, if your plugin requires client software?

[Pete]

Good news!!

You cannot run the client on non Wintel computers.

Pete is correct that you need Windows Computers for remote control, however it depends what you mean by monitoring. Any device that is connected to your Network (hard wired or Wi-Fi) should be able to be monitored for presence via the network monitoring feature.

[CharlieWayne]

Great.

So I was able to go through Network Discovery & Setup Page (http://192.168.1.XX/Jon00RCCNM.asp) and configure all our devices (mobile and hardwired) such as routers, cable boxes, tablets, smartphones, etc...

Created only Network Devices as we wont be able to run Client software so no sense in having those kind of HS devices.

Got a question about monitoring the state or status of these devices for the use of a Event Trigger. Lets use for an example and Smartphone, is it possible to use the Offline/Online status as a trigger?

I ask cause during event construction, I don't see any special triggers and if I try to use the general device status, I'm not sure what the values would be.

Thanks

Charlie

[jon00]

You just trigger on the device value for each network device. As per the docs on page 8 the device values will be:

1 = Device is online
0 = Device is offline
2 = Device is troubled

[CharlieWayne]

Sorry for the bother. I should have looked there first.

We do appreciate all your efforts and contributions.

Good news Charlie.

Here I have a mixture of devices and utilize Jon's monitoring for that stuff. I have also now changed the DNS names, IP and MAC address such that they make more sense to me when monitoring.

I use the remote client stuff primarily for the HSTouch stuff. It uses much of the Wintel based OS stuff. That said with a little bit of this or that you can use different OS's with it.

Here a quickie snapshot of the stuff.

[CharlieWayne]

I recall WiFi triggers on mobile devices being talked about before in the HS2, and was wondering now with timers in HS3 if this would now be a more viable application.

Basically every time the users mobile comes onto the LAN, have a timer reset. A event could toggle a virtual device Home/Away when the timer is greater than "X" time.

Anyone foresee any issues with this and what might be acceptable time fore the timer

Are you running it via an event? If so don't. This is triggered by the network intrusion script and only used for people who want to do their own scripting.
