    The code in your link was messed up when they updated that forum some years ago. I've rehashed it to give it a chance of working but I suspect you may still have trouble getting it to work. Running it in the Lua test window would be your starting point after reading the
    push over api doco.

    Another alternative is to use Telegram with the Telegram plugin.

    -- Refer to pushover documentation: -- https://pushover.net/api local pushToken = "YourPushOverTokenHere" local pushUser = "YourPushOverUserCodeHere" local pushTitle = "MessageTitle" local pushMessage = "MessageContent" local snapshotFile = "/tmp/camera_snapshot.jpg" local pushPriority = "1" -- Sound could be: pushover bike bugle, cash register, classical, cosmic, falling, -- gamelan, intermission, magic, mechanical, pianobar, siren, spacealarm, tugboat, -- alien, climb, persistent, echo, updown, none local pushSound = "gamelan" -- Link to the BlueIris videostream of that camera local pushUrl = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mjpg/ShortCamName&user=XXX&pw=XXX" local pushUrlTitle = "Camera Name" -- This points to one of my BlueIris managed cameras local camera = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/image/ShortCamName?q=50&s=80&user=XXX&pw=XXX" -- Get the snapshot from the camera local out = assert(io.open(snapshotFile, "wb")) local _,data = luup.inet.wget(camera) out:write(data) assert(out:close()) --Send PushOver request local curlCommandTab = {} table.insert (curlCommandTab, 'curl -s') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "token=' ..pushToken ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "user=' ..pushUser ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "title=' ..pushTitle ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "message=' ..pushMessage ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F attachment=@' ..snapshotFile ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "sound=' ..pushSound ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "priority=' ..pushPriority ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "url=' ..pushUrl ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "url_title=' ..pushUrlTitle ..'"') -- The .json suffix requests that the response be in JSON format table.insert (curlCommandTab, 'https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json') local curlCommand = table.concat (curlCommandTab, ' ') print(curlCommand) local handle = io.popen(curlCommand) local result = handle:read("*a") handle:close() print (result) -- Delete temporary snapshot os.remove (snapshotFile)

    @toggledbits sure won't miss my MSR antics, but I do! What's the point of beta testing if you cannot first crush the everlivin' life out of something while probing its deepest, darkest recesses.

    Indeed, first thing I inquired about after joining HE Forum a few years back was "Can this thing tie in with X10?" (A: Yes and, more pointedly, no.)

    I would love to visit here more often, but must confess you guys are so awesome you've left me nothing to BREAK!

    Thanks! I have this on my roadmap, so it’s really appreciated. I’ll also work on a script/plugin to easy remap from one controller to another, since I’ll definitely need it.

    I havent needed Socat, just using Z2MQTT in a docker, and it connects to the vera just fine over network.. I ended up retiring the vera in the end in favour of UZB and Z-Stick, as some functions and security didn't work, but basic z-wave works well.

    Today I moved my last device from Vera to HomeAssistant. I do have mixed feelings about it. For all it's flaws and performance issues, it had a very easy interface to get started in and for the average person, could do most of what they needed. Started using PLEG but never got very far with it since I had to spend hours relearning it every time I wanted to add a new automation. Reactor was a breath of fresh air for the Vera and I am eternally grateful for all the assistant I have received from Patrick over the years including some beta code for my Leviton scene controllers and my Venstar thermostat. MSR allowed me to tie my Vera and Home Assistant together while I slowly migrated off Vera and had way more capabilities than I could ever master.

    As I get older, my wife keeps telling me that if I die she is selling the house because she cannot run it. That has given me some incentive to simplify my environment so I have gone to only Home Assistant. Would have stayed with MSR if I could have figured out how to get the addon to work in HA, but in the end was easier to move everything to HA and eliminated one more component.
    Thanks to all the people that have offered assistance on this community as well as the old Vera forum before EZLO.

    Have a nice Vera Plus available if anyone is interested. In the Seattle area but will ship. Make me an offer.

    @htcheng Out of interest what type of Vera are we talking about here? Ditto what sticks were you using?

    It won't work. You are attempting to use a GEN3 device (Vera3) with a GEN5 or higher device (UZB).
    Z-Wave is backwards compatible but what you are endeavoring to do is the opposite.

    @akbooer Thanks again, I will poke around a bit. I have not explored anything with HomeKit yet, but it was something on my list.

    Like @Crille I have an electrical meter with a P1 data port. I use a DIY ESP8266 reader that I described some time ago in this thread. Since writing my post I have changed the software on the ESP, the version I am using now publishes the meter data approx every 10s as a json.

    A good wifi solution for the whole house if lacking a dataport is to use a Shelly 3EM. It is a three clamp meter that can measure all three incoming phases, assuming you have that. I have a few of these for measuring both single and multiple phase consumers, e.g. a two-phase water heater. It reports both energy, power, voltage and current per phase.
    The only downside I can see is that the clamps are a bit big, so some space is required to get them in place around the incoming power lines.

    Thanks for the pointers. I’ll try to look at plugs directly, maybe there’s a stick somewhere.

    I do it in startup Lua, so I don't forget. It also makes it easy to go in and change it when I want it back on (my feeble memory doesn't have to remember the precise spelling of the setting).

    I've been working on a mechanism for this, but unfortunately, there are many cross-platform issues (e.g. how WIndows does it vs Linux, whether it's doable in a docker container or not, etc). Every environment is a little different.

    As a workaround for bare-metal Linux, there is a script in tools called msr_inet_check.sh that can be run by cron (as a non-root user). It will ping various sites and create/update x_reactor_system_extra.inet_ok on the Reactor System (reactor>system) entity.

    I have no such solution at the moment for Windows or Docker. In my own house configuration, I just use the flag from the entity for the Vera's Reactor master device.

    @therealdb the files seem to be deleting by themselves. The plug-in itself though is still unstable though, I observed some new behaviours. I will post on the thread I started about the counter.
