Hi All,
I am using presence detection of bluetooth on smartphone devices. It all appears to work but I get this message from Presence in the log file:
PRESENCE: collectord lost connection to room centre_house for device Homer_Presence_BT
"centre_house" is my fhem server, running collectord. I also have a RPi in another part of my house, called "back_house_wired". This is the cfg file I have used:
[centre_house]
address=192.168.0.5
port=5111
presence_timeout=180
absence_timeout=20
[back_house_wired]
address=192.168.0.199
port=5111
presence_timeout=180
absence_timeout=20
Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or what the message is telling me?
Thanks
Homer
Hi Homer,
you say you run the collectord on your fhem server with the ip 192.168.0.5? Do you run also a presenced instance on your fhem server?. The collectord is just for collecting the results of several presenced instances. You define all your presenced agents in the collectord config file. When you want to use the fhem server also als agent for presence checking, please install also presenced.
Best Regards
Markus
Thanks Markus. I'll look into this - it should be running in the background but if this is the kind of error I would receive, perhaps it's not running or has crashed.
Thanks for your assistance.
Homer
