If you are having problems please use our support group for help:
If you receive an error running alarm.py or if the alarm dashboard is not working properly it is likely caused by a network or configuration problem. We have a alarm test utility that will help you diagnose the problem.
Power up, log into your Raspberry Pi and make sure you are connected to a network. You will reach the command prompt similar to this:
pi@raspberrypi ~ $

1. Check network connectivity
First lets make sure the network is working.
Type:
ping www.privateeyepi.com
You should receive the following:
PING privateeyepi.com (69.39.232.73) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from server310.webhostingpad.com (69.39.232.73): icmp_req=1 ttl=53 time=24.4 ms 64 bytes from server310.webhostingpad.com (69.39.232.73): icmp_req=2 ttl=53 time=23.8 ms
Press CTRL-c to stop the ping
If the ping command gave an error, then:
- make sure your network cable is connected to the Raspberry Pi
- reboot the Raspberry Pi
- if you are using wireless then re-check you wireless configurations
2. Check your configurations
Make sure you have configured the following on the www.privateeyepi.com website:
- GPIO
- Locations
- Zones
- Zones linked to Locations
- Email addresses if you want email
Follow these instructions carefully:
Check that your username and password is configured in globals.py file
If you want email alerts make sure you have the SMPT details configured in globals.py file.
Refer:
3. Download and run the test application
If the ping was successful then download our test application to diagnose further.
type:
sudo wget www.privateeyepi.com/downloads/alarmtest.py
Edit you username, and password as you did above for the globals.py
sudo python alarmtest.py
You will get a dump like below, and if a problem is detected the program will direct you to where the problem is.
