Simple IP Checker

[acho]

Hello,
Im very new to The Home Remote and need a simple help:

Id like to have an “Plugin” that is simply checking if a certain device is connected to LAN (either via MAC or IP )

Is such a simple “IP/MAC” Checker available pls ?

Thanks a lot

It would be a simple plugin that does a simple http “Ping” command. However, I am not aware if one exists.

Rather than create a plugin, I chose to just use the Android Tasker program to send the Ping. It is only a couple of lines of code in Tasker.

Hi,

I made exactly such a plugin a few years ago, this was also asked a few weeks ago on the forum. I used to curl command to a website that returns the ip address of the device… I then parsed the first 2 digits (in my case it was 90) for home/away ip address. It worked fine to show IP cameras url. I cant see the hrp in my emails but can probably find the hrp with the plugin if needed.

Has anyone been able to switch between local and remote access?

ipcheck.txt (905 Bytes) Hi Greg, Ive attached my simple code - as you will see a device opject is set to either “internal” or “external” depending on whether the first 2 digits of the ip is 90. You can adjust to suit or change the method easy enough. My original plan was to have 2 handsets, one for when im home and one cut down version for when im out - but i never finished the latter.

That would be great, I was not able to find it and also the code as such doesnt help too much as Im really new to The Homeremote - Still Im using it as the interface to my house based automated by Fibaro.

So if you have an plugin I just import ad it will allow me to change the picture of the “tile” based on “IP/MAC” online or offline would be fantastic

Thanks in advance
