Heartbeat Program or Programs

[hart2hart]

I'm happy to report that I've moved from to NodeLink! io_guy, it is excellent -- can't believe I waited this long.
By the end of the day I'll have 3 Venstar, a DSC, and a General Date nodes.  I see the heartbeat devices for each node.  Do I check each heartbeat device or  pick one and check it?

 

Either way anyone willing to post examples of checking via the device with any timing issues etc accounted for? 

[io_guy]

You should do it for each device as it checks that the single device is alive, not just NodeLink.

Thanks io_guy.  Sorry I bothered all with this question but I  was looking for a post via Tapatalk on iPad and it located the thread with Paulbates response but said "Sorry, content not available" and had a date of 12/31/69 so I though maybe it got lost in a forum migration.  With PC it showed up as expected. 

One more question do I recall that ISYLink and potentially the equivalent in NodeLink does heartbeat check a different way?

[io_guy]

It doesn't have a heartbeat variable.  You could just trigger off a minute update.  

But if you're using another device with a HB don't bother.  You only need a single HB to tell you NodeLink is running.
