OpenNethome - an open home automation project

@Nasty76 - I am happy to host any plugins for NetHome on the NetHome GitHub site (https://github.com/NetHome). Just send me a mail, and I can help you to set it up.

Thanks lassiko! Really good to get some info and tips on RPi HW! I am looking forward to hear about the piups.

I am not sure exactly what happened in your situation, but the NetHome timers are purely event based, meaning that when an on or off time is passed it performs the switch action. If the NetHome server was not running when a time was passed and started later, it will not do anything about that. The r...

Oops... Yes, I know, it is not very user friendly in that regard. It is on my list of 1000 little things I should really fix. Will bump it up a few notches on that list...

Ahh, that was interesting information. I don't think this is a specific NetHome issue really, the RPi file system seems to be sensitive to power outages sometimes.

The most likely cause is that you still have some drivers from Telldus center somewhere in there. ...

Well, since iPhones does not seem to answer ping, it does not seem to be much idea pursuing this line further... If you want to experiment with the Items and add functions, they are available on GitHub as usual, https://github.com/NetHome/NetHomeServer/blob/master/home-items/core-items/src/main/java...

This is what I was afraid of. I looked a bit at what you suggested, but at least my iPhone5S does not wake up by a ping from RPi. As you say, it only answers arp-scan when it is active, as soon as it goes to sleep it stops. We will have to find an alternative way, otherwise this does not really fly....
