If not, feel free to contact me for more information. I literally gave it away to the general public as is right. You can also type ifconfig en0 or ifconfig en1 for the configuration of a particular interface only (as someone said in their answers, en0 is typically the wired Ethernet while en1 is the WiFi interface). I was working on my PhD at the time and was hired by Honeywell to implement my design. This command shows you the list of interfaces along with their IP and MAC addresses (the latter one only if applicable). all are based on this simple technology.Īm I rich? Not even close. Store and forward, offline browsing, push technology, etc. There were many processes built off of this simple idea (it was pretty cutting edge when I first designed it). It's a VERY simple process that I developed back in 1992 when the Interwebs were still pretty new to most people. On Windows operating systems, you can determine your IP and MAC addresses by opening a command prompt windows (Start -> Run -> cmd) and typing ipconfig /all. The server puts any needed data in an xml (readable) and the thermostat (or quite a few other devices) hits that URL a few seconds later (the device told the server where it would pick up that info).Īll your device needs is a simple read-only connection to the outside world. If it needs to make a request then it gives the server a unique key. First get the boradcast address of your LAN (you can find that out using: ifconfig. What happens is the unit makes a report to the server. As long as the unit has permission to make an outbound connection it will work. The unit is allowed access to the Internet via your setup and the router. I can tell you exactly how I designed it. I'm the lead designer and project manager on the Honeywell systems.
