Something is not working. Advanced Ping, replies, and status.

[shykitten55]

A while back I asked for help with pinging devices and determining their status.

It worked.

This is part of the flow.

But now the Modem is being marked as OFF-LINE, when it isn't.

The "gateway" is the mode, and the "uplink" is that the ADSL part is working.

This sends back that the modem is offline.

I'm at a loss to what is going on, as I am sure it used to work.

This is from the CLI:

 ping 192.168.0.254
PING 192.168.0.254 (192.168.0.254) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.0.254: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.592 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.0.254: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.633 ms
^C
--- 192.168.0.254 ping statistics ---
2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 1031ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.592/0.612/0.633/0.032 ms

So the PING does work.

Slight update:  (Not good)

I tried attacking the problem another way:

I changed the flow to this:

[{"id":"e51b8fc7.3495e8","type":"adv ping","z":"2d44537.f26082c","name":"","host":"192.168.0.99","x":370,"y":510,"wires":[["64f1bcff.b40354","5c76d67b.d966d"]]},{"id":"615b4f45.865558","type":"inject","z":"2d44537.f26082c","name":"Scan for machine status","topic":"","payload":"true","payloadType":"bool","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":"","x":150,"y":510,"wires":[["e51b8fc7.3495e8"]]},{"id":"64f1bcff.b40354","type":"debug","z":"2d44537.f26082c","name":"Topic","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"topic","x":560,"y":510,"wires":[]},{"id":"5c76d67b.d966d","type":"debug","z":"2d44537.f26082c","name":"Message","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"payload","x":570,"y":550,"wires":[]}]

And changing the IP address for each try.   Result:

5/23/2018, 10:01:28 AMnode: Topic192.168.0.254 : msg.topic : string[13]

Hmmmmm.....    Strange.

As I said, the modem IS online and from the CLI/Terminal, it replies to the PING.

Sorry folks.

I screwed up.

Apologies.
