I just released version 1.61 of the plugin for UI5 and 1.51 for UI4. I also updated the documentation here: Wake-on-LAN Plugin
The UI5 plugin works for both Vera 2 and Vera 3. New in this version:
[ul][li]UI was updated for UI5, adding the possibility to use it in basic scenes.[/li]
[li]Support for Vera 3 / Lite.[/li]
[li]Other minor improvements aimed at improving the user experience.[/li][/ul]
The UI4 plugin was tested only on Vera 2. I didn’t have a Vera 1 to test it on, but it should work provided that you install wol manually. On Vera 2 wol will be installed automatically at the first run.
New in this version: minor improvements for user experience.
For the next version can you please consider the following be included or modified; either add a date/time stamp to the “Status message” : or alternative, reset message to “” after n minutes. I would prefer the second option personally.
There was still no update pushed to my vera2 on 1.5.255.
Can anyone confirm that this updated was installed on his vera automatically?
I think this is quiet important that this works, otherwise only a few advanced users will profit of updates and not every common user. For example I am now wondering if any users of my plugins (virtual switch and variable container) are using the updated versions or if they are still using the initial release…
And yes, I think there need to be options to manually check for updates. But I also think there needs to be an option to deactivate automatic plugins. And if possible a third option “Ask before Installing Updates”.
If you installed the Latest Release of a plugin, when a new version is published, the installed plugin will be updated automatically.
e.g. In the attached screenshot the latest version of the GC100 plugin is 1.0. You can either install the Latest Release or the 1.0 version. Event though they’re the same version, when you select Latest Release the auto-update flag is set.
When you install a plugin directly from the UI, you install the Latest Release.
Perhaps if the dropdown item said “Latest Version (Auto update)” it would be clear to users how that option differs from the specific numbered releases.
If I’ve chosen a specific version is the only way (currently) to force an update to uninstall and then reinstall a newer version?
I have rewritten the wake on lan plugin and was wondering how I can upload it to code.mios.com (in a new branch).
The rewrite sets up all of the computers as child devices under the wake on lan controller. The child devices use the serviceid
“urn:upnp-org:serviceId:SwitchPower1”
and the schema
“urn:schemas-micasaverde-com:device:BinaryLight:1”
so that 100% of the various mobile clients can remote wake on lan.

It also allows unlimited number of computers.[/quote]
That is brilliant and a much need change to the current plugin. Hopefully MCVFlorin or Guessed can guide you as they can provide you access to code.mios.com to upload the plugin. Maybe even better to just make your plugin the default Wake-on-lan.
I see that your posts are limited, are you able to attach the files to this thread? If that is not the case, you can email me the files and I can post them on the thread if you want?
I made you project admin for Wake-on-LAN. Feel free to make any changes you want, but make sure to write at least some basic documentation on how to setup and use the plugin.
I don’t have UI5 so I am not sure what the differences are. For this version there is a single box that you put the MAC addresses in as a comma separated list such as
there is also a field for the computer name or you can leave it blank and the plugin will just create generic name and you can just edit the devices and give them a name and assign them to a Section/Room
Would it make sense to integrate the WOL plugin as an option in the ping sensor? It seems like the functionality of the two plugs are very complimentary, and then we wouldn’t have to have two devices in Vera for one computer.
