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.

    Check out the new built in email command for the latest netlinx firmware:
    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?

    I know 4.x had it - haven't tried it on the NX yet, but hopefully they still have it.

    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.
