security sample v1_65A.scpt.zip

This is the newest version of the Indigo Security Script…

This now includes code that will check for out of date heartbeats (ie. Defective Units, or low/out of Battery) and either warn via Growl, Indigo Log File, or even Email!

Some of these changes were suggested by Scott Buchanan… And some where added after examining the Battery Dead Notify script from the Perceptive Automation User Contributed Scripts web page.

version 1.5 Changes

- Added Heartbeat inactivity detection (5/28/2008)
- Growl Support for Heartbeat inactivity detection
- Email on Heartbeat inactivity
- Added optional switch (Update_Heartbeat_After_Actions) to allow heartbeat to be updated after every action.

Added the following variables:

- Inactivity_Heartbeat_Watchdog
- Update_Heartbeat_After_Actions
- SE_IBeat_Address
- Send_Email_on_Inactive_Heartbeat

The new properties are:

property Inactivity_Heartbeat_Watchdog : 7200
– The maximium number of seconds before a warning will start appearing for an alarm heartbeat. If you receive an inactivity warning, please check the batteries, and test the contacts. The Deafult is : 7200 seconds = 120 Min = 2 Hrs before a inactivity warning will start logging.

property Growl_Notifications_List : {”Opened”, “Closed”, “Check Alarm”} — List the Growl notifications that you wish to use

– Advanced Settings
property Send_Email_on_Inactive_Heartbeat : false
– Send an email if the security Heartbeats have not been detected within the Watchdog value.

property SE_IBeat_Address : {”example@example.com”, “example2@example.com”}
– Send Email(s) to the following addresses, seperated by a comma.

property Update_Heartbeat_After_Actions : false
– Update the heartbeat after every action. Normal behavior is to not update Heartbeats after an action occurs. This forces the heartbeat to update after every action of the device.

Please feel free to use the script, I have just tested the email functionality…. And I have been using this script for the last few days, without any issues…

security sample v1_50A.scpt.zip

Folks,I promised that I was working on this, and here is a screen capture of the proof of concept of Indigo working via FrontRow.

What you are seeing right now, is just a display of the status of the devices in Indigo.I still have significantly more work to do on it, including figuring out the best way to handle the storage of the user / server credentials, and other issues…But, we are certainly closer than we were a few days ago.

Here’s the v1.00 revision of the Indigo Security Script sample.

The Changes included here are:

* Fixed bug in the Chime code that would not reset the Chime_Last_Sounded_ms value properly.
* Added the date back to the XXXXX_Last_update value.

Security_Script-100.zip

Here are two templates in Pages for users of SmartHome’s Home Automation tools…

They need some clean up, but I whipped them up fairly quickly….
(The Control Linc shows it’s roughness).

If you modify, or fix them up. Please let me know… (and send me a revised copy)

this is truly disheartening. today is the glorious first day of construction on the long awaited retaining wall project in our backyard. it’s been 18 months since we started bidding this. we finally hired a local guy, unlicensed, but who has done many jobs in the neighborhood. we trust him, we like him, and he is half the price of the inflated companies who go through the city.

i am spending the next three months in ny working, which is bad timing on this because we’re just starting work, but what can you do?

so, the geek side of me wins out and i decide one way to feel connected to the whole thing is to use network cams to see the work while i’m in ny. so i install some, and they work perfectly, of course. rather fun all in all. i thought i would feel creepy about it, but i don’t. just another gadget.

well, day one on the job and i call up the server from work and what do i see?

unbelievable. this guy is actually pulling open the window in the guest bedroom. me, guy that i am, from philadelphia, believe in god and all that, i think: oh, maybe he needs to get at an electrical socket. no, there’s one out there by the pool heater, i told him that… hmm, oh, wait– he’s locked in the back yard. the gardner left and locked the gate and this guy doesn’t have a key. but.. still, looks really… suspicious. i send an assistant over to the house to unlock the gate… which is already unlocked when he gets there. he asks the guy if he needs anything, anything in the house? nope, everything is fine.

f*ck. this guy is totally casing my house.

i have full motion video of him from two cameras–as soon as i logged in and saw him, i loaded my indigo control page and hit a control that sets the cameras to record for 1 minute–he tried both windows and tested the sliding door. i called alberto, the guy i hired, his boss, and told him. he fired the guy on the spot (i have video of that, too!) and was really apologetic, but man oh man. this was the last thing i expected to see. day one. sigh.

share other indigo success stories!
