AlarmDecoder periodically phoning home to NuTech/AlarmDecoder server?

[DaVigster]

Hi folks,

Just curious if anyone knows for what purpose the AlarmDecoder software periodically makes connection requests to the alarmdecoder server at 204.10.16.18. I recently started running a AD2pHAT on a Pi Zero in an isolated LAN network and am seeing the dropped requests to connect to 204.10.16.18 on port 80. Perhaps it's looking to discover latest firmware available? I can look through the code at some point.

And guess it doesn't really matter anyway considering the alarmdecoder site has been down for some time now. And port 80 seems not open. Which is another issue in itself since I'd like to get at the docs, etc, to better explore capabilities of this new pHAT I finally received.

Thanks!

Cheers,
-D

It looks for firmware updates, but the site doesn't exist anymore Thanks, Kevin *Sent with Shift <https://tryshift.com/?utm_source=SentWithShift&utm_campaign=Sent+with+Shift+Signature&utm_medium=Email+Signature&utm_content=General+Email+Group>*
