Yes, i do.
i must write all of my credentials as i log in over ssh isn´t that right?
Also with the port i use!?!
Check if pimatic is running with shell
Yes, i do.

Also with the port i use!?!
do you log into ssh-port 8083?
or is this your pimaticport?
No, SSh via port 60.
But i check it with the port 8083 because i get this error.
8083 is the port for the frontend.
Now i write it in the script like 192.168.178.3:60
I also log in at the standard username and password for SSh Raspberry
Hello,
so, i must install sshpass… after i do that i have another error…
error [pimatic-shell-execute]: [ShellSensor#status-homatic] Error: Error getting attribute value for Status Homatic: ssh: Could not resolve hostname 192.168.xxx.xx:xx: Name or service not known
I have check the IP and Port and it is right.
Knows anybody this error?
Thank you
Have you enabled ssh on the destination Pi?
Why not using the pimatic api?
Hi,
yes, ssh is enabeld. Over my PC i connect via SSH (Putty) to both pi´s.
I also have install sshpass on both pi´s.
i corrected the skript because the error was the other port that i use.
after the hostname it must be a -p (port).
Now I have no error but the ShellSensor in Pimatic has only a empty entry all the time…
and i don´t know why!?!
@Heizelmann said in Check if pimatic is running with shell:
Why not using the pimatic api?
because i don´t know how!
I use the get command on my pis to push temperature values from one to the other pi.
I have try to get it to work with the REST API but with no success. Because in this case i have to call up if the programm is running or am i wrong?
ok, i have work a little bit with the API and i think i have a half success.
whenn i execute the command:
curl -X GET --user “user:password” http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:xx/api/variables/status-pimatic
i get the output:
{“variable”:{“name”:“status-pimatic”,“readonly”:false,“type”:“value”,“value”:“Online”,“unit”:""},“success”:true}
I created a variable in my pimatic with the value: Online and so far it works when i execute this at SSH (Putty).
But in what way can i bring it into my second pimatic in a variable or a VariableDevice???
Thank You
P.S. and sorry for my bad english
so here you also could use a shell sensor and cut the output of the json to true or success…
so your command for the pi1 has to look like this:
curl --silent http://user:password@host:port/api/variables/status-pimatic | cut -d":" -f8 | sed 's/.$//'
the result is when pi2 is online
true
when pi2 is offline
unknown
i think…not sure because i don’t have another pi to test
Shortly I can not give any code, but I thought off periodically sending an API PATCH request from one PI to the other by rule ‘when every 5 seconds then …’ and check the change on the other pi also by rule ‘when variable-x was not updated for 10 seconds then …’ or so.
Thank you @Heizelmann but it works like chris said:

Summary:
I make a variable on each pi and create a shell-sensor with the command chris has written.
For the GUI I make a second variable like $pimatic-status-heizung and two rules like:
when Status of Pimatic-Heizung-Online? = “true” then set $status-pimatic-heizung = "Online"
and at least i create a VariablesDevice to read the variable.
And now it works!
Thank You
Nice @Masterplayer .
Yes sorry i was a littel busy last days…
Because of my semester examinations…
But nice that it’s working now…
@Masterplayer @chris Shell scripts are uncomfortable for native users and mostly not understandable if you are not an UNIX developer. In my opinion there should be a built-in easy to use solution otherwise Pimatic is only from interest for developers.
