It could be that the url you use actually is a playlist with urls to the real streams. I can't remember for sure, but I think that this will cause LMCE to expand that playlist into its own playlist, thus presenting each real stream url as its own item in the playlist.

You should send the command to the Media Plugin instead, using the MH_Play_Media command. This way, the router will be aware of the media and the orbiter will show it as well.

AutostartMedia=0

This disables the MD part of the machine, thereby making it a core and not a hybrid.

Good idea, but instead of executing commands directly, I would instead suggest a more generic approach/improvement.

Create a new DCE command like "Send Notification". This command would be sent to some (new) device/plugin that can be configured to send notifications using several means. One option could be gtalk, another could be email. This way, you have a common method to send notifications as a result of events, and you don't have to go through all events if you decide to change from gtalk later on. You would just change from gtalk to email in the configuration of the notification device/plugin.

On the other hand, I don't see any problem with experimenting with different ways to send notification, that will be required no matter what route we go.

Have you checked the DCERouter.log file for "power usage changed" events? You probably have, just wanted to make sure 

I can't recall what the current code does - I know there are some special code to make things work more transparent (like asking for reports automatically, like metering reports for instance). Not sure if that applies to this particular device.

For the next release, I think we will use a ZWave driver based on the open-zwave library. The code is available in ZWave-OZW in our source tree. Myself and hari have been working on this for a while now, and I use this code now instead of the standard ZWave code. It works very well, but does not have some of the automatic setup that the old code has. Not sure how much of that we will add though. So to summarize, if you want to invest your time into this, I suggest looking at the new ZWave-OZW code

Often it is a question about latency and not bandwidth. I don't know if the 802.11n or newer standards improve on latency, but afaik radio will never have the same low latency as wired networks.

But as hari said, please try it and let us know - we are interested in learning if it works.

I will take care of it - open a ticket and commit a fix.

This seems to be an error in the event plugin. Can you tell us what events you have defined for Temperature Changed and what criteria you have used?

I'm not really sure. I think that maybe you need to set this up in the "Wizard | Security - Video links" first.

Sorry about that, I've committed a fix. It should be available once posde has run a new build.

The motion wrapper shouldn't be needed for the advanced camera, no, but it depends on whether the camera itself supports motion detection. I haven't tried the two together though, so no guarantees

I wasn't able to reproduce the bug in my setup, so I'm guessing a bit here. I committed a possible fix that should be in the next update.

No, I was looking for a gdb stack trace.
First, look in /home/coredump/1/ for files named core_Advanced_IP_Camera*
Then:

Code:

cd /usr/pluto/bin
gdb Advanced_IP_Camera /home/coredump/1/core_Advanced_IP_Camera_xxxxx

Where you replace xxxxx with the newest file.

This should load the debugged (gdb) and the dump file. Then type "bt" (withouth the quotes) and press enter.

This should give you a stack trace.

Thanks.

Ok, fair enough.

Just a clarification on the ports, in case anyone reads this later on.
Do not forward port 1701!! Doing so allows bypassing the security of the VPN completely.

In my setup I forwarded ports 500 and 4500, and also enabled "IPSEC passthrough" on the router.

I have used my mobile data carrier for testing, but I can't guarantee that all providers are the same..

I would first see if there is any settings related to VPN in the modem.

I don't do any special setup in LMCE for VPN, the standard setup done through the web-admin is enough.

That said, I did struggle to get my router to cooperate, and imho I think that is were most people have problems too. To support this theory even more, I am unable to get a VPN connection from my office, but from other networks it works fine.
