Yeah although the you do still have to manually associate the switch, you didn’t in the first version but that forced using only those switches…
Thank you! Was finally able to figure it out, and get everything working properly.
I’ve updated the app to 1.4 just to include some instructions to make this clearer
So I am stuck right now. I have the app installed properly and had the exe installed on the actual computer I am wanting to sync the status with ST and it was working fine. I then read that the exe needs to be on system that is on all the time so I installed it on my HTPC (Windows) and it constantly shows that my computer that I want to sync the status on is always offline.
Here are some screen shots of what I have setup. And I do have my correct access token and app id saved in the config.config
If you ping the IP from the command line does that work? Also check your firewall to see if you are allowing access to the app? I think your configuration is fine something else is blocking it… (My money is on your firewall, assuming you haven’t accidentally provided the wrong IP)
Sure you don’t have the wrong IP? Typically 192.168.1.xxx yours says 192.168.0.xxx
See if you can log into your router with 192.168.0.1 then see if you can log in with 192.168.1.1
Also, check out this tutorial thread I made to use Host Pinger and Event Ghost to achieve more PC control…
Depends on the router, different companies do different things
Nope. Not the wrong ip address. My router is 192.168.0.1. Running ipconfig from the pc I am trying to control the ip address is 192.168.0.19. I will start looking into Norton and see if there is something there not letting it communicate.
I am also unable to ping that pc from the one that I have Host Pinger on.
OK for some reason my PC that I wanted to monitor was setup as a public network and that was causing the firewall to be more strict. Changing the network to Private allowed communication between my network computers.
Glad you got it working!
The last section of the first post has some advice on debugging… this is usually because the IDE URL is incorrectly stated, have you changed the config file since you have been seeing this error?
I would also check that your access token or app ID have not changed, this will only usually change if you reinstall your app… but the issue are seeing is that it’s unable to connect to ST
It was because I reinstalled the app. Something went wrong when I was trying to install an app to power off the computer so I started from scratch and didn’t think about the config.config file needing to be updated.
Thanks.
Great have updated the first post with additional details for debugging.
Worth noting that iOS polls the Wifi every 60 minutes when sleeping. I’m using this as a WiFi presence detector for a number for iPhones. A CoRE piston simply notifies if the device is seen (and hasn’t been seen in that last 90 minutes).
Perfect for visitors in my case.
Also worth noting I have it installed a server that runs my cctv. Installed via task manager to run at startup. Works really well. Thanks for contributing.
No worries
Thanks for your idea!
I have a headless server running windows server 2012 R2 essentials. Is it possible to run this as a service without having to login?
Yes. Use Task Manager.
