Best Way to Integrate W7 Computer

[NickW (Nicholas Wilde)]

@pstuart

I’d get the power status via a smart outlet. Just measure the on watts vs sleep watts to determine if its on / off / sleeping

Bah, I feel like this should be a simple ping that I can perform in the device type but it’s turning out to be harder than it should be.

To wake the computer, you will need to be able to send a WOL packet,
with the new socket commands, its possible, but not likely that this
packet can be sent to the computer to wake it up.[/quote]
I might be using my Raspberry Pi to send the magic packet. Do you happen to have a recommendation on how to communicate from ST to the RPi? A simple REST setup perhaps or some type of SSH implementation? Eventually I’d like to monitor the temperature readings of my RPi with ST.

@pstuart

To shut it down / sleep it, you need to set the power permissions or use
some sort of IP based app on the computer to receive a command to shut
down / sleep. But you have this already…

I’m accomplishing this with EventGhost’s Webserver plugin.

@chrisb

Could you create a Virtual Tile

I guess I can do this, but it just seems easier to do it via a device type.

@theedpope

Why not do a Device-handler that is nothing more than a pinger.

I was looking at using GET commands but I need to be able to do it on my LAN and I was having trouble with the HubAction command was giving me problems in my device type.

Any Documentation on "physicalgraph device HubAction"?

@geko, do you have a working example of this? I"m trying to do a GET command but get the following error in my device type. groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: script1409823233728390831521.sendHubCommand() is applicable for argument types: (physicalgraph.device.HubAction) values: [GET / HTTP/1.1 Accept: */* User-Agent: Linux UPnP/1.0 SmartThings HOST: 192.168.111 ] My code: ... private getReading() { def httpRequest = [ method: "GET", path: "/", headers: [HOST: "192.168.111:80", Accept: "*/*" ] ] def hubAction = new physicalgraph.device.HubAction(httpRequest) sendHubCommand(hubAction) }

I’ll keep you guys updated on what I figure out.
