Title: How to access the HG console
Post by: BitMac on June 15, 2015, 07:24:34 AM

I installed HG on a Raspberry and access HG remotely from a web-interface.
I often read about the HG console, but have no idea how to access this console.
(Sorry for this silly question, but I'm a newbie)

I'm not sure what you mean by "console".  The only interface to HG is via the web interface.  You can access HG to control modules via an Android or Windows phone, but that does not give access to configuration.

If you are looking to do some debugging, you might need to see the Mono output.  That can be done in Linux by stopping the HG process and launching it manually.  Alternately, you can modify the /usr/local/bin/homegenie/startup.sh script to direct the output to a file.  I would not recommend that be a permanent configuration as writing to flash memory regularly can reduce the life of the storage quickly.

Thank you for your answer.
That is what I was looking for.
I want to use it only for debugging.
