Hi all
im hoping to set up a watchdog from a security system to let me know if something happens to the security system,
i currently have the two systems communicating via RS232 so i can send the 3100 a string every 5mins from the security i just need to write the code for the 3100 to send me an email if the other system goes down.

sounds like a plan
DEFINE_START SMTP_SERVER_CONFIG_SET(SMTP_ADDRESS,'mail.amx.com') SMTP_SERVER_CONFIG_SET(SMTP_PORT_NUMBER,'25') SMTP_SERVER_CONFIG_SET(SMTP_USERNAME,'john.doe@amx.com') SMTP_SERVER_CONFIG_SET(SMTP_PASSWORD,'mypassword') SMTP_SERVER_CONFIG_SET(SMTP_FROM,'john.doe@amx.com') SMTP_SERVER_CONFIG_SET(SMTP_REQUIRE_TLS,SMTP_TLS_TRUE) DEFINE_EVENT Timeline_Event[TL_SECURITY_REPLY_CHECK] { If(nNoReplyForALongTimeFlag) SMTP_SEND(0:3:0,'jane.doe@acme.com','Security Alert','The security system is offline... again!',NULL_STR) }Which latest, V4 for NI or 1.x for NX?
Any ideas???
Thanks Greg
I have got the email part working already from inputs changing state, its just the watchdog part im having troubles with
The suggestions above will do exactly what you want. That is how you can send yourself an email notice based upon whatever code you write to monitor the security system.
I usually include this feature whenever I write security/fire/medical/access software. I pan on emailing the client, myself or both.
