Wake on LAN Problem

Hi All,

I have a problem configuring the Wake on LAN plug in.

I follow the instruction of Wake-on-LAN Plugin but i don-t see the same window and command.

Any suggest or help is welcome

Thank you
Matteo

Solved,

I put also I WOL file and now it-s working correctly.

Great

Putting the I_WOL.xml isn’t necessary for the plugin to work correctly. Have you reloaded the dashboard after installing the plugin, so that the interface will be updated?

Now it seems showing correctly. I installed and refresh the gui. Set up the Mac address.

But when i click o run a scene is not working.

Any idea?

Thanks!!

You can look in the logs to see if there was any problem, but I will update the interface to show if the last command was successful, or if there was an error.

Here is the How To for watching the logs:
http://wiki.micasaverde.com/index.php/Logs

You must enable verbose logging first:
[tt]VerboseLogging.sh enable[/tt]

Then watch the logs for lines starting with 50:
[tt]tail -f LuaUPnP.log | grep ‘^50’[/tt]

Afterwards, disable verbose logging:
[tt]VerboseLogging.sh disable[/tt]

Hi,

I tried restart Vera but nothing is working.

I’m not an expert in SSH.

Can I ask you, if you have already released the new version. In case I would like to test it.

Thank you for your great work.

Yes, I updated the plugin to show the status message of the last operation. It will show the return code of the Wake-on-LAN program.

Return codes:

[ul][li] 0 - OK[/li]
[li] 1 - Error[/li]
[li]127 - Command not found[/li][/ul]

Hi,

Thank you for the update! I will trying it today!

What is the best way to update a Plug in? Can i delete the old wol file and then reload?

Should i delete hen the device and recreate a new one?

Thank you

@Teonobello,

The easiest way is to leave your configuration intact and ONLY reload the new files.
This way all coding and scnes that are in place will stay intact.

If needed restart the lua engine and/or powercycle Vera.

I have just installed Vera2 and upgraded firmware (12th July) . I have tried to configure the WOL. I get the new interface but when I try to create a new PC description and mac address for #1 nothing happens? The computer I have added does not appear in the list of 10 computers.

It does appear in the advance tab/variables against name0 and address0

Hi williaj,

I updated the plugin to be more verbose. Please replace the I_WOL.xml file, restart Luup and reload the page. Then try again to add a new item and check the status to see what’s the problem.

I copied down another copy of I_WOL from http://code.mios.com/trac/mios_wake-on-lanand reloaded it. I went into the existing WOL device I had problems with earlier and the additions had come through. I was thinking this was a reload issue but I had previously closed MIOs and/or reloaded many times.
For information: the I_WOL file I first tried was the one that was posted 3 weeks ago. I am not sure whether the one I just loaded was a newer version or not.

Thanks again for your help

I made the last post after I modified the file, so if you got it later you should have the latest version.

I have not been able to get WOL to work using Vera2. I can get WOL to work fine directly from my iPhone over the WAN using several different apps.
I have created a device
I have created a scene with just 1 command to WOL - nothing happens
I have created another scene with 2 commands 1 to power on my z-wave device attached to my PC . the second then waits 5 seconds then wake my PC on LAN - the z-wave power module comes on but WOL fails.

Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Does executing WOL directly from the plugin’s interface work?

No, it doesn’t.

If I use my iPhone connected to my home LAN WOL wor)ks - the plugin does not work.(I have a utility that can see the packet being received)

When I use my iPhone over the Internet WOL does not work I think this may be an issue with my modem/router.

I modified the plugin to cover more network configurations. Download this file, upload it on Vera, restart Luup and let me know if it works:

Hi, thanks for your help, unfortunatley it still doesn’t work but a WOL on my iphone does???

I did some digging and it appears that for ether-wake to work, both Vera and the target computer must be on the same wired network. I tested this and I can confirm. However, wol worked on the wireless network.

If your computer and Vera are on the same wired LAN, this could mean that maybe your NIC doesn’t support the Magic Packet sent by ether-wake. You should try wol. Do you have a Vera1 or Vera2?

Hi, I have a Vera 2 which is on the same cabled network.

My NIC will WOL if I use an iPhone app I have. It is also supposed to work over the Internet but I haven’t got that to work yet.

I am trying to get it all working on my LAN before I tackle the internet problem.

I hope this makes sense to you.

Thanks for all your help.
