new fing version attached

added error catching in startfing

added start fing debug option in config

fingscan Warning getting data from indigo: bad variable ipDevice03 does not have a valid IP number>>192.168.86.237-changed<<\ deleting and letting .. and stopping plugin

statusDisplay date stamp was changed during reload of the plugin. e.g. during auto reload at 1pm, can be switch off in config) that is fixed now: no device state updated until 100 secs into the plugin running. this was due to data loaded from differnt sources during startup. after everything is loaded the inetrnal data is correct.

name of newly created devices are now: MAC-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx-Vendor info like: MAC-5C:87:xx:0A:xx:xx-Apple

fixed: 'Plugin' object has no attribute 'M2V' this happens when vendor loockup is disabled variables are now properly initialized

fixed: TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

1. bug fix: variable allaway_x was set properly but at next cycle reset reason: was one deleted line in python code

1. bug fix: dev states for email after new device event where not populated in time hence ip# and hardware info where not available in time. after some seconds they were populated this was introduced with the last update

1. some bug fixes
2. removed nickname info as this is not consistent and creates more confusion that it adds value

1. removed dead code (findmy , pibeacon, unifi interfaces)
2. fixed restore devices
3. fixed one py2->py3 i/o issue (in network scan, write to log)
4. streamlined menu structure
5. fixed lookup of vendor
6. status-date stamp is fixed at startup if datestamp is empty. previously it was changed once device changes state up->down .. now also initial datestamp is not 0 but proper datestamp
7. reload / restart of plugin is now configurable in config to be [disabled, start at 0:19, 1:19, 2:19]

1. removed dead code (findmy , pibeacon, unifi interfaces)
2. fixed restore devices
3. fixed one py2->py3 i/o issue ( in network scan, write to log)
4. streamlined menu structure

1. fixed error: File "plugin.py", line 2681, in writeToFile f.write(writestring.encode("utf8"))

moved network detection to front, in case config is started immediately, some varaibles are not initialized

fixed wake onlan decode() not ... error. was left over from py2 --> py3

1. changed password storage, was stored in mac keychain. that apparently does not work anymore. now stored in preferences file the plugin will convert to preference stored password automatically.
2. will require indigo 2022, py3

1. fixed: getfingData @line 3174: 'if self.fingStatus[kk] == "up" and self.allDeviceInfo[theMAC][u"status"] != u"up":'

fixed: getIgnoredMAC @line 2772: 'self.indiLOG.log(40, u"getIgnoredMAC file read:{}".format(xx))'

1. some cleanup for migration py2 --> py3
2. faster down --> up state change (up to 60 secs faster ), read from fing.log file did not work, only fing.data was used

ip broadcast calculatiuon was messed up was x.x.x.254 instead of x.x.x.255 error was: max_range = copy.copy(broadcast) # copy.copy is needed, otherwise broadcast itself is changed max_range[-1] -= 1

isolate a possible no network state in wake on lan, with try: // except the plugin will continue, but will not do wake on lan

added support for python3 fixed ''unicode' object has no attribute 'pid''

updated libraries etc for os 12.3 and indigo 2021.1

added upper() for reading ignored mac to allow aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff besides AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF in file ignoredMAC

Added features / changes in v7.32.65 @ 2021-2-18

1. fixed error message: fingscan Error error in Line# 788 ; error=list index out of range replaced with a more meaning full error message happens when fing is not (properly) installed or password is not set

Added features / changes in v7.32.64 @ 2020-11-24

1. added variables: nAwayX and nHomeX = number of devices in event group X being away / home) you can use that to trigger on eg 2 or more devices in the event group being home or away. eg: assume you have defined an event group X with 5 members set up trigger with "variable changed" nAwayX and becomes >1 it would trigger if it goes from 1 to 2 devices away, not from 2 to 3 and similar to nHomeX

added check (try, except) for datestamp in fing.data

added check (try, except) for datestamp in fing.data

added debug-log statements for startfing

set enableBroadCastEvents to defalut if not set in config

added several save prefs commands in code to make sure event defs are not lost

1. added check if vendor field is empty
2. added a lot of unicode ie u" instead of " and unicode() instead of str()

if a devices is not found (indigo return error), it is not auto-removed from events the user is asked to remove device from event list this should cover the casese where indigo has timeouts

fixed mac to vendor look up plugin exit when disabled

added suppression of variables SQL logging, available with indigo 7.4.1

added loggin statement in case empty or bad data is read from indigo prefs file for EVENTS data

fix: Error error in Line# 535 ; error=global name 'fingVersion' is not defined

Error error in Line# 535 ; error=global name 'opsys' is not defined

1. enabled service scan menu point for catalina.. 3rd time is the charm .. and thanks to David for patiently helping debugging

enabled service scan menu point for catalina

1. enabled fing v 5.x for OSX catalina (>=10.15) you MUST install fing version 5.x for this either download https://www.fing.com/products/development-toolkit use OSX button or use /Library/Application Support/Perceptive Automation/Indigo 7.4/Plugins/fingscan.indigoPlugin/Contents/Server Plugin/CLI_macOSX_5.4.0.zip

1. moved most of initializing code (reading from config, starting fing ..) into thread loop. that enabled time.sleep() to edit config
2. added check if mac number is properly defined in events, or deleted ..added check for "error in Line '2074' "

fixed issue at startup when password is not defined will give user 200 seconds to finish config , then manual reload is required

added auto delete of variable if not comple, and recreate

1. added attrib change for fing.bin to enable running under catalina
2. converted to std indigo logging will require indigo 7.3 or higher

When network defs are not present now sets default in startup, so that you can set parameters in config after start

bugfix key debugMother not found in dict and one other bug (trigger unifi devices changes exception)

ipDevsOldNewIPNumber is set when a device changes its ip number contents: devName/mac#/oldIP/newIP you can use it with items= (indigo.variable["ipDevsOldNewIPNumber"].value).split("/") then items[0] = devName items[1] = mac# ...

v7.29.32

added support for indigo broadcasts
messages are like:

{'pluginId': u'com.karlwachs.fingscan', 'data': [{'name': u'fing-rpi-16-attic-zerow', 'id': '39359595', 'state': 'status', 'valueForON': 'up', 'action': 'event', 'newValue': 'down'}]}

indigo 7.1

error in Line '5297' ; error=''lastFingUp'' fixed

indigo 7

added options to ignore
- specific MAC - in menu select add MAC to ignore list -- no action, update will be done for these devices or variables in the plugin, if you delete an ignored indigo device it will not be recreated, you can added them back with remove MC from, ignored list in menu - any new device -- no newly discovered devices are added. If you delete a indigo device, it will not be added back

removed mother devices

indigo 7

fixed variable init not defined

indigo 7

version 7.27.25 had variable FingEventDevChangedIndigoId removed. put back in

indigo 7

the plugin now supports: send wake on lan packets to ipdevices. It has to be set for each device individually. It "costs" ~ 0.3 secs per device and cycle

Added expiration timer to fing up --> down--> expired - set for each device individually in device edit The info for down / expired is delayed by xx seconds to the plugin. In case fing gets new UP info about the device the timer gets reset. In a test an iphone 7 and X stayed up for 24 hours w/o inetrruption when WakeOnLan was enabled too.

indigo 7

added variable FingEventDevChangedIndigoId that shows the ID of the last changed device in an event

indigo 7

as the current method to get the MAC to vendor look up is not working anymore (killed by web site), this version will make a copy from the official files on the IEEE web site and will lookup all MAC numbers locally. It requires a one time download (repeated every 10 days) then all look ups are done locally. ~ 2 Mbyte in total are used to store the info. the DCIT used is ~ 1Mbyte for ALL mac/vendor info

set refresh rate in config (# of days between refresh 0=off/7/14/21/30)

The files are stored in /Users/youruserid/indigo/mac2Vendor/

indigo 7

now supports 3,4,5,6..16 bits of network scope

indigo 7

just a version # fix

i 7

bug fix: - fix menu if > 5 devices in event , config not saved

added: ==network range now any combination of network start address (eg 192.168.1.64 / 7 : 192.168.1.64 .. 96 range to 192.168.0.0 /16 = 192.168.0.0 .. 656536 range) default for most is 192.168.1.0/24 = 168.192.1.0..255

== sorting of devices in event print is better

indigo6

1. fixed events: in the names "-" was replace with "_", there was an occurrence where it was not done properly you should check all events defs and make sure they are consistent

2. added back in network type = how many ip numbers should be scanned eg. 0...255 or 0..64
