how do you actually use the plugin? i.e. how do you view the device information?

Is there a chance of having the script work with X10 instead of Insteon only?

Thanks

Hey what is the latest on the plugin to use my iPhone to create proximity events? I think this would be the best feature Indigo could have.

Thank you for the suggestions... I will bundle that up shortly, and make those changes.

If you would contact me via email (benjamin AT schollnick DOT net), and let me know what errors you are seeing, I can possibly assist in making this work.

But please keep in mind, case sensitive filesystem's are a big challenge....

A few updates to make this work on a Mac with a case-sensitive filesystem:

Plugin:
plugin.py - static_webpage_root = r"/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 5/IndigoWebServer/plugins/Find-My-iDevices/"

Web interface:
reqhandler.py - static_webpage_root = r"/Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 5/IndigoWebServer/plugins/Find-My-iDevices/"

I still haven't made this plugin work (probably my issue), but these will make it more universal.

I am not able to duplicate this issue. I'll send you the current version via email.... Contact me via email, and we can try to debug this...

Error (client) runConfigDialog() caught exception: PAXDialogControllerError -- Dialogs must contain at least one <field> element.Any thoughts on what I did wrong with this?</field>

Thank you! /Library/LaunchAgents was the culprit in my case.

Re: Indigo Security Script v4

Benjamin Schollnick — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 21:04:24 -0000

If you are running Indigo v5, then take a look at the Switchboard plugin. The Switchboard plugin is the eventual full replacement for the Security Attachment script....

It's more powerful, and more versatile...

Take a look at the public beta @ http://www.perceptiveautomatio...

Hi Benjamin, i have your security script working very well on several DS10A door switches. Based on the specs of your script I also bought some eagle eye motion detectors MS14A. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can't get them up and running. I suppose that it will also work that the device will come up with a device id in the event log, which I will have to define in the alarm matrix of your script? I tried several MS14A's but they do not appear in the event log in the first place. Do you have any suggestions ? Hope to hear from you soon. Greetings from the Neterlands. Paul Boekweg

I need a little bit more information, which version of Find my iDevices are you using?

I've installed your plugin by the preferences pop up refuses my username and password. I can use the same credentials at Mobileme.com successfully. Any ideas? I also receive this error.

Ben, I've successfully installed Find My iDevices and I'm getting a few errors. After some time I eventually got the preferences for Mobile Me dialogue but it refuses my username and password. I can launch another webpage and successfully log into MobileMe.com with the same credentials. Although I'm redirected to iCloud.com.

Re: Hvac Historical Usage for Indigo 4 (Professional)

bradley lewis — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 10:49:24 -0000

Yes, I'm very interested in Beta testing.

Re: Hvac Historical Usage for Indigo 4 (Professional)

Benjamin Schollnick — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 17:36:13 -0000

Yes, but I am working on the companion HVAC Usage Monitor right now... ( Venstar Thermostat Usage Monitor )
If you are interested, please let me know and I can add you as a beta testor...

Many of the web based tools are being partially updated since in Indigo v5.1, the web aspect is probably being updated into the plugin model.

Will you be updating this for Indigo 5?

Re: What does iTunes actually back up?

Benjamin Schollnick — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 10:08:15 -0000

iTunes will copy over content that was not in your iTunes library. So for example, the ebook, music video, etc, that you just purchased on your iDevice, would be transferred to the local itunes library (assuming you authenticate).

But iTunes should already contain all of your music, videos, etc, that are not backed up.

Backing up your iTunes collection, is as simple as copying your iTunes folder from the music folder (assuming you haven't relocated it).

Turboeclipse95 — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 09:55:30 -0000

Awesome - Looked all over the internet for this answer. So "Back Up" does not save your Apps, Books, Music, and Movies. How would you do that?

Re: Venstar Thermostat Usage Monitor

Benjamin Schollnick — Fri, 24 Jun 2011 19:21:19 -0000

The Thermo script is an attachment script, and is loaded automatically when the Indigo server starts. You should see an log entry that states "Attachment Script Thermo loaded", when the server starts...

paulsar — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:35:18 -0000

I'm sorry to ask a question so basic in nature -- I see the instruction to set a time/date action to run the reset script, but I don't see any comment regarding how the Thermo script starts. How is that script actioned in the first place? Thanks!

Re: Submissions, and Corrections

Hi,

Here an addition to http://www.schollnick.net/word...
"Waiting for index to be ready (100), Waiting for index to be ready (101), Indexer unavailable (200)".
You may want to summarize it. :)

TM wasn't enabled for some time until I got a NAS (Lacie Network Space II), which I had set up to backup all other macs (they worked fine). Long story short, I made my MBP (10.6.7) also to use the NAS as an encrypted TM target disk, but TM just couldn't ever finish the initial backup (~300GB). The logs said just "waiting for index". I had plenty of free space (450GB) showing up on my "backup" share in TM prefs. The sparsediskimage was almost every time corrupted after a backup attempt, Finder couldn't mount it.

The problem was that I had Quota enabled on the backup share and it was almost full (90% of 250GB). For some reason Finder/Lacie shows the total free space of the NAS, not that of the share quota. After increasing the quota, my TM backups again.

HTH,
SP
