Folks…
Have I got a product for you! Â Yes sir! Â Is your home automation system feeling a little ill? Â Maybe a little run down? Â Are your Insteon modules just ignoring you every now and then. Â Then I have the product for you.
With this special offer, I present to you SeanAdams Insteon Health Script…  The Script is available here: http://www.seanadams.com/ha/insteon_health/
First, You need a 2412U or 2413U powerline modem for this to work, a 2414U will not work. Â Second, this is a currently a command line application… Â So you will have to use the terminal application to run the script… Â ( Go –> Utilities –> Terminal).
For command-line beginners here is how to run it:
• save the script in your home directory
• Quit Indigo
• open Terminal
• type “sudo cpan -i Device::SerialPort” to install a required module
• type “chmod +x insteon_health.pl” to make the script executable
• type “./insteon_health.pl” to run the script
• follow the instructions to generate your device list
• type “./insteon_health.pl” to run it again
The astericks (*) are equivalent to “pings”, the lower the number, the better. Â A dash (-) appears to be “unable to reach”, or “Timeout”.
Currently, you will want to edit out the device listings for X10 devices, TriggerLincs, RemoteLincs, and Insteon Motion Sensors. Â The script does not handle X10 devices, and the other RF based Insteon devices probably won’t be awake when the script runs, and thus will cause a poor result for those devices.
Please note, I did *NOT* create this script. Â Currently support is offered here..
