I found out that my PC setup with two monitors was pulling around 50 watts even when it was powered off. I made some flows that detects when the power is off and shuts off the electricity. I have a button on the wall that toggles the power on/off. What is needed Homey App: Better Logic App: Simp…

I use the app Netscan to ping port 139 of a PC. I do that every 10 seconds to determine if I need to power down the lights of the desk. This way you know if a PC is running or not. We have 2 PC’s next to eachother so I can even see wich PC is up and running Very handy. WARNING! Be sure to turn off …

@Willybits , The App is incompatible in V2.

No it is not, I am using it in V2 Netscan :0.3.1

@Willybits , when i want to install the app it says the app is incompatible with your software. [image]

And u downloaded it from the appstore without editing the app.json file for wrong compatibility?

It has been on my homey for over a year now, so I have not installed it on V2 myself. Shame it has not been updated for people to use it on V2 then

Ok, fair enough. So it runs on 2.0 when u got it installed before upgrading to 2.0. When alr on 2.0 the app has wrong compatibility and won’t install.

I’ll have a look, for Smart Presence it was (almost) just enough to up the compatibility…

If you have a netgear router you can use the netgear app to monitor if a pc is on or not. And you can also use it to wake the pc with WOL. I use it to switch on/off my son’s docking station to save power when the laptop isnt used.

For netScan it’s enough to up the compatibility. @Btwvince did a PR already in January. You can download the app here and install in through the CLI.
