is this feature available now on the device?]]> Using Twine to monitor a small enterprise data center http://www.minervakestner.com/discussion/246/using-twine-to-monitor-a-small-enterprise-data-center Thu, 20 Dec 2012 13:13:48 +0000 At work Paul Moorhead 246@/discussions Some functionality is missing though unless someone can advise me otherwise.
I need a daily (at least) heartbeat message so that I know the thing is working. Is there any way to create a time based rule? Not yet afaics
I would like to be able to insert data into my update emails, so, for example, if the temperature goes above 28C I want to know just how hot it is. I don't want to set a rule for every possible temperature, just have the email that's generated include the actual temperature at the time. the most flexible way would be to allow the use of !sensor value! as a macro in the email text where sensor value can be one of temperature, humidity, orientation etc.
Next I want to be able to use "not" in a rule e.g. the twine is "not" on its back - that's simpler than a rule to cover all the other possible orientations.
I would like to be able to set a "cleared" checkbox in a rule which sends another message when the situation is resolved. in other words if the rule is to send an email when the temperature goes above 28c, then a clear message would be sent when it went back below.
And the very last thing I want for Christmas is a current sensor to wrap around the main power line, so that if the power goes, then while the UPS is still keeping things alive I get a death squawk.

I just got my Twine and I love it! I'm going to order a bunch for my dev team for Christmas. Anyway, I didn't see a forum for posting feedback and don't know when that will be helpful to you.

Quick comments: Setup was effortless, worked really great!
Made a test rule, emails sent without a hitch but SMS's didn't go.

Just FYI... keep up the awesome work.

"Flip me over, I'll do it faster - I'll give you no indication what I am doing or whether or not I am actually making every conceivable effort to do it faster. Perhaps I'm just sitting here next to the old scratched up Serious Sam CD you use as a coaster. You could use me as a coaster, perhaps I'll message you when your beer is too warm. You'll never get the message though, because that doesn't really work. Did I mention you should update me? Hey flip me over, wait, no flip me back. I'm sorry, do you want me to go faster or slower? I bet you would love to have an ABOUT link to click to see which firmware I was on. Sucks to be you."

"I'm sensing frustration, which is odd, because I'm suppose to sense vibration - maybe you put my batteries in backwards."

"Knock, knock?"

"Aren't you gonna say who's there? Never mind. Remember that time you plugged me into a moisture sensor and sat me near your sump and waited for me to send you an email when the water level was high? Yeah, those were good times. Wait, what do you mean you never got the email? You didn't get the text either? Dammit, why the hell do I even bother trying to notify you then? Don't be bitter, it's not my fault, I need new firmware, flip me over."

"Whoa, is that a Raspberry Pi? Don't bring that in here, that's not fair. How can I compete with that, I mean, sure it cost less, does more and actually works, but I sense things. Like look, it's 75F in here right now - your fancy little trinket can't do that. Bah, I'm not impressed, just wait till I get my new firmware, then I'll show you something."

"Flip me over."

I thought my requested feature was pretty fundamental but clearly not so how is anyone else dealing with this limitation?

1. Batteries are fresh
2. LED lights up during network connection phase
3. Success on all wizard screens.

My Twine is not being "found" and I get a message stating "We're checking to see if your Twine is connected..." and a countdown begins from about 70seconds or so. No success when done.

Does the Twine have some sort of timeout where it disconnects from the network if it doesn't have a rule configured? I deleted the current rule a few days ago and today, when I tried to make a new rule, I simply cannot get the Twine to be recognized for a new rule.

Flipping the Twine over on its back doesn't seem to wake it up. With no reset button, just not sure where to go from here.
