OK, I found this in the tutorial sections:
http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Email_0810

but duplicating it and clicking Test Command didn't seem to send email and the DCERouter.log didn't show any evidence of trying...

Same thing happened to me with the 2 Aug snapshot, image wouldn't build unless I did it twice, then it started working.

Users / Phone notification PIN not accepted(was When do Cellphone Notifications trigger)

« on: August 29, 2010, 12:54:38 pm »

Thanks Bulek, I now know that /var/log/pluto/DCERouter.log is the place to look for clues.

For some reason, cellphone notifications now work without me having done anything. I get the text to speech saying "tell me who your are, 1 for Blaine, 2, for Linda..." so I punch 1 and then it asks for my PIN. I enter the same PIN that I use for arming and disarming (4 digits) but it just keeps asking for my PIN again. I tried adding # or * on the end but it just keeps asking for my PIN. Is there a different PIN setting for telephone notifications?

Users / Clues for event handler to send email

« on: August 28, 2010, 09:44:16 pm »

Can anyone give me some clues as to how I can write some simple event handlers? I'm guessing that using the Respond to Events Wizard with Advanced Events is the way to go and I've managed to put up an alert on an orbiter when a PIR is tripped, but I can't do anything beyond that. For example, I'd like to send an e-mail when there is a Security Breach.

I'm guessing I start with choosing "Security Breach" as the event, and the device " =  CORE" and then I've tried looking at what the Advanced Wizard offers but there I'm stumped. I've looked at the wiki, and I've seen references to executing a command group but can't figure out how to define a command group anywhere.  Any guidance gratefully received...

cheers,
Blaine

I can direct dial on an orbiter without the 9. Added the 9 anyway on the cellphone notifications, but nothing, and the FreePBX call log suggests to me that no call was attempted. Could it be that no orbiters have phone numbers and the cellphone notification event is stopping before trying the other numbers?  Anyone else with a notification setup like mine that works?  Any logs I can check to track this to see what is happening?

Thanks for any clues anyone can give...

Users / When do Cellphone Notifications trigger?

« on: August 25, 2010, 11:30:53 am »

I'm running 0810 2 Aug snapshop and I have SIP working (I can direct dial out from an orbiter to my home landline). I put my home number in the same format in "Other Phone Notifications" (even though the table heading says Orbiter Phone #, which is a typo I'm certain), so it looks like this:


When I trigger a security breach, it plays on all the MDs and it appears in the security alerts log, but no phone calls are made. The FreePBX call log shows all my direct dial calls but no call attempts from the security breach. Did I miss something or is there some other log I can check?

cheers,
Blaine

Users / Re: Z-Wave vs X10?

« on: August 23, 2010, 05:45:15 pm »

Thanks for the reply Andrew. Sadly, I don't have any lighting controllers yet as I wanted to make sure I could get on with Z-Wave before investing in lots of kit. I have the Zeon stick with built-in inclusion conroller and I'm pretty sure it has sucessfully associated with the PIR (a HomePro ZIR 010). I'm just not sure that LMCE getting anything from the PIR. I looked at the wiki page for this PIR http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ACT_Homepro_ZIR010 and it talks about setting the device configuration with parameter #17 but I can't tell how to set the parameter, nor do I know what groups it is talking about when it says the PIR sends ON/OFF, UPDATE, or alarm to group 1, 2, or 3.  Can you enlighten me?  I've looked in /var/log/pluto/170_ZWave.log and I see this:

The two generic sensors that show up under the ZWave security interface are devices 174 and 176 with device template 1813 which appear in the list above but the log message suggests that with no custom event handler it will not fire events.  This, combined with the fact that this PIR comes up as two Generic Sensors, suggests that something is not right. Any clues as to where I can look next?

Can anyone out there give me a clue as to how to test if my Z-Wave PIR is working? Just a simple test to see if I can trigger an event with the PIR detects movement would be great...

I'm playing with adding multiple IP cameras to my system and have one camera happily working (thanks DragonK!). I've added a second camera with the same setup as a second child of the Motion Wrapper but I can't get it to work. Does each camera need its own motion wrapper?

So I deleted the orphan generic sensor, then all the children of Z-Wave, then Z-Wave itself, look at the device tree to make sure they were all gone, rebooted, plugged in the stick again and the wizard seemed to just do its thing without complaining (although it seemed to add the PIR as a lighting controller, possibly becuase that is the default mode for this PIR). Everything looks mostly sensible and I can see a Generic Sensor in the right place, but now there are two:



and two Z-Wave controllers. One sensor has the same device number as the one I deleted, so perhaps it didn't really delete (and a controller as well)? Should I perhaps delete the lower (original) numbered generic sensor?

Assuming this is now as it is supposed to look and I can figure out which of the sensors is really my PIR, how do I configure it as a security PIR, that is, to trigger a security alert when the security status is armed?  I can see the matrix in the Wizard->Security->Active Sensors page and I can see I can set a Sensor to "Security", which I assume means that in the given mode when the sensor triggers it generates a "Security" event, but how do I specify what to do when that event happens?

wow, something went really wrong here.. the device template says "Datagrid Plugin"...

it is also not a child device of the z-wave interface.. did you tweak anything manually or is this all the work of the wizard?

The wizard did leave it as a Datagrid pluging, but I when I saw the "Device Controlled by" was not set to anything I did change it thinking the wizard had not set it (it was a child of the Z-wave controller before that).

Should I delete this sensor, the Z-Wave device and its 3 children and try plugging in the stick again?

OK, I bought an Aeon USB Z-Wave Stick and a ZIR010 Z-Wave PIR.  Following the instructions in the wiki, I put the batteries in the PIR, pressed the button on the stick, blue light started blinking, pressed the bind button on the PIR, blue light went solid for a while, then back to blinking. So I assume the PIR is now bound to the stick. I took the stick to the core and plugged it in, it was recognized and the wizard did all kinds of magic and asked me to name the sensor but it also put up a message about an error.

The device tree entry for what I think is the sensor looks like this:


I can see Registered says No and State is OFF/0.

The Device data says
Port/Channel Number 2
InputOrOutput 2
DefaultState 0
EK_AlertType 1

In the Security Wizard, the only active sensors that show up are the IP cameras.

Can anyone tell me how I tell if the sensor is really added and working and how I can get it to appear as a sensor in the security wizard so I can set a security breach condition when the sensor trips while the security setting is armed?

thanks,
Blaine

If you buy this and it works could you update the wiki (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Category:Media_Directors) please?

If anyone else knows of currently available thin-ish client box that works well as an MD could you post it here?  Most of the entries in the wiki in the above category and in the MD Newbie categories are two years old and now seem hard to find.

OK, my laptop was connected to both the external network on the LAN and the LMCE network on the WLAN and I wrongly assumed that I could connect to the core on its external IP address as well as the internal, now working fine connecting to core's LMCE IP address.
