    You can do that with an HTTP request.

EventWatcher or DataYours can send to a file or syslog.

Rather than using SSH, just use an HTTP request http://ip_address:3480/data_request?id=device&action=delete&device=5

Yes. You could [url=http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,7288.0.html]use a syslog server[/url] or you could use SMB to mount a remote share to your log directory. Both of these options require significant changes to Vera that will be wiped with a firmware update.

A simpler method would be to write your own or modify the standard log rotation script, to copy/backup your log file to a remote server via sftp or scp. It will still be wiped by a firmware update, but, its just a simple bash script, so it wouldn’t be problematic to copy it back to Vera.

echo "SmartMeter Import_1: $Import1 Import_2: $Import2 Export_1: $Export1 Export_2: $Export2 Import_P: $ImportP Import_G: $GasImport HouseTemp: $LivingroomTemp TempSetpoint: $TempSetpoint Home_State: $Home_State" | /usr/bin/nc X.X.X.X 514 -c
The parameters are grepped/awked from the logs in the batch scripts. AFAIK no update killed this so far.
