This is a wrapper around the BOBCAT 300 hotspot and HELIUM APIs in order to monitor the status and performance of the hotspot.
2. Open a terminal window depending on your operating system and Move to the directory on your device
cd your_path/helium_watchdog
- OTA version change
- Blockchain sync status
- Rewards change
cache_name= your hotspot animal name like "alert_shadow_iguana"cache_address= your hotspot public blockchain address like "11q2UB9Cy9GsdHkHCn2K1F2LZLxDSfe9Xa4F3ir1NMfTZZ6bs7R"cache_ip= your internal local IP like "192.168.1.4"sleep= the number of seconds between checks like "7200"send_emails= flag it as "True" if you want to get emails when actions are taken / else "False"email_to= add your email address herelog= flag it as "True" if you want to write to a logfile when actions are taken / else "False"verbose= flag it as "True" if you want to see command line print outs when actions are taken / else "False"dry_run= use "True" if you want to just test the script by printing out what actions are taken without actually taking them / else "False"
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
- Change the "dry_run" value to "True" in secrets.txt
- Maybe also change the "sleep" value to "600" so you don't need to wait too much
- Run the script
python3 helium_watchdog.py
- Change the "dry_run" value to "False" in secrets.txt
- Change the "sleep" value to minimum "3600" (1 hour) but suggested is "7200" (2 hours)
- Run the script
python3 helium_watchdog.py
- just rebooting at a regular time interval
