EG on PC & Webcore

Post by trickyrick » Wed Nov 14, 2018 9:05 pm

I have a couple pistons in webcore that start an event in EG they have being working for several months. I went on vacation for 6 weeks and now when I turn on my PC with EG the pistons no longer control the events. How do I trouble shoot. I havent changed any settings. One piston monitors power on a power outlet connected to a dryer. When the dryers power drops it triggers an event in EG. I see noting in EG

Yes, I use smartthings and the EG plugin using EG's webserver, was just wondering how you used webcore directly with EG or do you just use the EG plugin to send events to EG from smartthings ?

I have EventGhost installed in Smartthings as a SmartApp. I have that setup with the ip address of my networked computer with por 80 and Command prefix of ST. I have set up EG Plugin webserver like the attached
It was working

Not that it helps but mine is working fine. Has the IP of the computer changed or have you set it static ?

Mine wouldn't work without a blank index.html file and the path setup in the EG webserver HTML documents root folder pointing to it.


index.html:

<head>
<title>EventGhost Webserver</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>

Did you turn your smartthings hub off while you were away?

I had to turn the power off in the house last week and had similar issues after... Still not found the root cause

Nope I was using it while away. I did have the computer off with EG. When I came back I turned the computer on and changed the IP from Dynamic to Static and reserved the IP on the router but that souldnt have caused any problem its the same IP

Im pretty sure it was some sort of network issue. The host just wasn't receiving messsages for whatever reason. Glad it got resolved.
