I don't know if my UPS can do that. I bought it second hand and it did not came with software. I'll google it to see if I can find something.

Thanks for the suggestions.

My current idea is to use a Raspberry which I ping continuously. The Raspberry is not on the UPS so the ping will fail when the power goes out. And then I can send a message to myself.

Hello, Last week when we came back from holiday we were surprised by a warm fridge because we have had a power outage during our absence. I have a relatively old house and the electrical installation is somewhat sensitive (although recently renewed). So this gave me the idea that I should be able to...

As part of my Digital Home Server projet (see http://www.domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=6210) I made an xPL interface for the ELV Max! heating system. It will send an xPL message for each valve known by the Max Cube, and you can set the temperature as well by sending an xPL message. http:...

It actually has nothing to do with ELV Max. They control the radiator valves. But even if I turn off all the radiators, the central heating pump will keep circulating hot water in the pipes. So I'm basically warming up the walls. So I would like to shut off the pump by using a thermostat. But as I c...

Hi all, I control all my valves with ELV Max, and I would like to add a thermostat which I can control from my Digital Home Server. The requirements is actually very simple : - I only need to be able to start/stop the central pump, so I don't really care about temperature settings (which is anyway d...

Cool ! I noticed that the Btraced app wears down the battery very fast (one day max). Am I the only one ? or are there any recommended settings so that it would last a bit longer ?

I’m very proud to announce the availability of release 2.1.3.0 of my Digital Home Server. New is the multi-room audio feature, allowing to manage audio streams to multiple rooms. Sending audio to multiple rooms has a few specific challenges. Imagine that you walk through your house, and every time y...

On request, I created a command-line version of the xPLRFX application. Available for Win32 and Linux386.

In order to support the RFXtrx433 in my Digital Home Server (see http://www.domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=6210) I wrote the xPLRFX, an xPL gateway for the RFXtrx433. It's a standalone application, so it works without DHS as well. I now released the first beta version. xPLRFX is written i...

I finally found the time to release the next module : video surveillance. Actually a request from my wife so that we could keep an eye on our little boy when he's sleeping, and I would like to use this to show who's at the door when the doorbell rings. The module has the following features : - conne...

Hi, I have a raspberry pi at home and it's a really cool device. So I thought it would be nice if I could connect this to a rain sensor (like this one at Conrad : http://www.conrad.nl/ce/nl/product/187621/Regenmelder-in-behuizing-Hygrosens-CON-REGME-12-V-Herkenning-droogvochtig-of-mist). I did searc...

I'm happy to announce that the Digital Home Server 2.1.0.0 is now released, containing the home automation modules. You can check everything on my new website, that also contains the tutorial videos that show how everything works. The released modules are : ModHADevice : define the house, floors and...
