Hi BakSeeDaa,
I am also having problems with the scripts now.
I run it on a seperate RPi2 and used to work but now with (i guess because of that it stopped working) cloudkey firmware version 0.8.9 it does not work anymore. \
Code: Select all
pi@rpi2:~/domoticz/scripts/unifi-detect $ ./unifi_detect.sh
Running unifi_detect.sh 1.0.1
Exiting with a result code of : 401
pi@rpi2:~/domoticz/scripts/unifi-detect $
I have looked at the url, port and credentials and they are fine.
Do you have any info regarding the working status with CK 0.8.9 version and Unifi version 5.7.15.0

Update:
It does work!
My unifi password was not right anymore. CloudKey and unifi had different passwords (due to reset I had to do a while back)
I don't have an issue now
Sorry but also thanks!

When i run the script (without crontab enabled/configured) i get the following message:
There is no output so i don't know if the script is running. As Cellphones i used the name that is known in the unifi controller (android-macadress for example). I don't see my virtual switches turned on or off when the script runs (also when i run it under crontab i don't see them changing).
Can anyone help?
EDIT: after an hour i fixed the problem, turns out the unifi second site had a # in front..
Other question, how long does it take to turn the signal "off" i have the idea it takes a couple of minutes when the cellphone leaves the unifi controler (and turns the virtual switch off in domoticz) is there a way to speed up this process?

it takes 10 minutes for the wifi client list in the unifi to get updated if a device disconnects, I also sometimes have random disconnects while the device is connected to wifi, but it then doesnt show up in the list of connected clients. for that i added an additional bluetooth ping as a safety net (but not my whole house has bluetooth reach so sometimes still a false message)

I get: chmod: cannot access '/home/pi/domoticz/scripts/unifi-detect/unifi_detect.sh': No such file or directory
But the file is there, what am I doing wrong?

@Falken: file isnt there ls -l /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/unifi-detect
is it possible to check from arp in/from Unifi controller, like in asus APs, it works immediately when fevice is off from wifi

I added little feature, my devices are password protected and I added to script couple things:
Code: Select all
domoticz_ip=192.168.XXX.XXX # Domoticz IP or host name
domoticz_port=8080
dompasscode=YourOwnSwitchPassCode
domoState=$(curl --silent "http://$domoticz_ip:$domoticz_port/json.htm?type=devices&rid=$1&passcode=$dompasscode")
curl --silent --output /dev/null "http://$domoticz_ip:$domoticz_port/json.htm?type=command¶m=switchlight&idx=$1&switchcmd=$2&passcode=$dompasscode"

Hi BakSeeDa,
Hoping you can help me out here. I've been using your script without any problems for several months already. However, since a couple of days the script doesn't recognise my phone leaving or entering the house anymore. The stupid thing is that it's still working perfectly for my wife's phone.
I double checked the device ID and the unifi client name several times but nothing has changed. The only things that have changed is that I updated the unifi cloud key and access points and my phone (galaxy s8) has been updated to android 8. I don't know if this matters at all because I still see my phone being connected in the unifi client list under the same client name.
I also noticed that when I run the script manually, it DOES switch off/on for my phone, but not when it's running under Cron...
Any idea what this could be?

Today I started with this script because I have a Unifi Controller to and all works fine. First I had the same issue like you en with the following adjustment it works also with cron.
Edit the first rule of the script from:

Maybe it will works for you to

I am running this script on a Synology with Domoticz, where my Unifi controller is in Azure. I can successfully get the content; but the script seems to hang, it only sometimes flip the switch and the script doesn't seems to stop. . Anyone knows what to expect on a Synology ?

Hello, I do not know if there will be more people like me. Would there be any possibility of doing a scrip for windows?

Maybe my DzVents script runs on Windows!? Does not depend on Curl.

Let me know if it works on Windows!

Hi all, the script is working fine for multiple months already. However, I would like to have the passwords removed from the script. Is this possible? If yes, how can this be done? Thanks in advance for your reaction and ideas.

i changed two things in this awesome script for the following reasons.
First: Because it takes a long time (20+ minutes) before the wifi connected devices get removed from the "clients" list due to a known bug (wifi devices that disconnect, will first be moved to the LAN connected devices before they get removed from the list +- 20 minutes later) i made sure an extra check is build in that checks if the device is wired or not.
If it is not wired, the device is on the WiFi
If it's not in the list or marked as a wired correction it means that the device isn't on WiFi
Code: Select all
for i in "${!cellPhones[@]}"; do
onWifi=$(echo "$var" | head -n 1 | jq -r '.data[] | select(.hostname=='\"$i\"') and select(.is_wired==false)')
if [ ! -z "$onWifi" ]; then
newState="On";
else
newState="Off";
fi
if [ "$newState" != "${lastStates[$i]}" ]; then
lastStates[$i]="$newState"
switchDevice "${cellPhones[$i]}" "$newState";
fi
done
In order to get this to work you need to install "jq"
Second: I don't want my password to be in this script so i created a password file that only root can access.
followed by
In the script i cat the password file because the script started as user root ( sudo crontab -e )
Off course this unifi_passwd.txt file contains my unifi password
Code: Select all
unifi_password=`cat /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/unifi-detect/unifi_passwd.txt`

Hi RapTile,
Nice update, I'm also using it. However, you seem to be looking at the host names of the devices rather than the normal names (alias from unifi).
These host names are not unique.
Can I simply change this code ?
select(.hostname=='\"$i\"')
to
select(.name=='\"$i\"') ?
Or will this not work because the is_wired parameter is BEFORE the name and AFTER the hostname parameter in the unifi data ?

Okay, it works. I don't know how this jq works but it seems to utilize black magic.
