Ping status in programs

[royceconnerley]

I like the remote access capability of the ISY. I use it when at work or out of town. Unfortunately, if my router or cable modem has a problem, I can't get to the ISY. If I could have the ISY periodically try to ping an an address on the internet, and if the site was not ping-able, momentarily turn off the ApplianceLinc powering my router and modem, the ISY could detect some failures and attempt to recover from them.

 

Something like:

 

If
       Time is  3:00:00AM
 And www.google.com is Down
Then
       Set Scene 'Router and Modem' Off
       Wait 5 seconds
       Set Scene 'Router and Modem' On

royceconnerley,

 

Very cool idea ... a great candidate for Trigger 2.0.

 

Thanks and with kind regards,

Michel

When will Trigger 2.0 be available?

Hello royceconnerley,

 

We are currently designing it based on all the feedback we've received. Thus I am not in a position to give you any concrete dates yet. I shall keep you posted.

 

Also, is your blackberry still causing a system hang? If so, please let me know.

 

With kind regards,

Michel
