Remote reboot URL

[jcbago]

Is there a way to trigger a reboot from an external source using a URL or some other method?

Remotely login and Reboot (Button down the bottom) on the System tab

Please explain then what you are trying to achieve and why from where or what?

jcbago,
I'd like to point out to you that the Meteobridge has built in remote access capabilities. It is very simple to use. First ensure you have a good password for the Meteobridge. Then enable the check box in the System tab to Allow login from the Internet. Then click on the Copy URL button and save that address for you to use to remote in. You don't need to open firewall ports. It just works and you can manage your Meteobridge from Meteobridge.com with that URL. You can then login from anywhere and reboot.

For some reason my solar and uv sensors periodically start reporting 0 regardless of the actual value. This doesn’t happen all of the time, but rebooting Meteobridge fixes this. I want to use my home automation system, which detects the issue, and automate the reboot to fix the problem. I can easily power cycle it, but I was hoping for a safer alternative.

And yes, I know how to reboot it from the UI and using remote logon, which has been my method thus far. However none of these options remotely (pun intended) answer my question. It’s okay if it can’t be done. I suspect that’s the answer since all of the suggestions keep trying to refer me back to logging in.

Thanks, but this doesn’t answer my question. I’ve known the magic for years. I guess I’m looking for voodoo. A URL to reboot the device called from an external system, in my case, my home automation system???

Now that we understand what and why you are trying to accomplish I think maybe we can construct an alternative solution. I have two ideas.

My first dea is to use home automation smart power outlet plug. Then reboot is as simple as programing smart outlet plug to power cycle the power to the Meteobridge.

But I think there is a way with the Meteobridge alone. Second idea... All you have to do is program an internal alarm condition and then trigger the restart. Give us more details on the trigger situation logic and maybe I can come up with the script.

Currently I am using the smart plug method, but it reboots and could possibly corrupt the database without a clean shutdown and restart.

Basically, my logic is simple. It tends to get stuck overnight, so at 8 am, I check the solar value. If it is still 0, then something is wrong.

Here you go, this should do it:

Script Execution - One-Time Alarm
Select Predefined Script -> Reboot
Raise: [hh] == 08 && [mm] == 00 && [uv0index-act] < 1
Clear: [hh] >= 08 && [mm] > 05
Script URL: http://templates.meteobridge.com/reboot.sh
