Hans,
I presume you monitor within utils when the last data set was generated by CMX so that the Status led is red green or flashing red. Is there anywhere that this status can be read as occasionally my Pi locks up (and so does not TX an Alarm). It is only sometime later that I notice and would like to send a message to my phone.

My only other option at the moment is to occasionally read the date/time of the uploaded realtime.txt file (from another pi) and message my phone (using Pushover) :geek:

Mike,

The green/red led is a signal governed by the Gauges software on the realtimegauges.txt, it is not something special from CUtils (could do but I didn't ;) ) It is something like a three(?) minutes concluding there has been no update and turns red, when it comes back (three minutes waiting out of my head) it turns green again.

There is no api by which you can ask or set its status.
If you want control you have to determine a status on your own criteria and show something.

Hans,
OK thanks...
Didn't want to repeat any work!

Sorted by reading the date stamp in realtime.txt every 15 minutes from another pi and ensuring it is different ..... :mrgreen:
