Domoticz

• switching on and off the virtual switch although the device was still in the network
• device not detected when its in sleep mode
• snmp device status did not update for about 20mins (when I disconnected the phone from the network)

1. Create a Dummy Hardware and add a virtual switch for it in Domoticz. Please have a look at the Wiki for how to do this.
2. Flash Asus Merlin firmware (it is really easy but please take care of the information provided at their website)
   1. visit the Asus Merlin website, download the latest firmware and extract it
   2. log into your router by going to its local address (for example https://192.168.1.1:8443), accept the certificate and enter your username and password
   3. click on the "Administration" panel on the left --> "Firmware Upgrade" --> "Choose File" --> select extracted file and hit Upload. It can take a few minutes for your router to upgrade and reboot. You have to manually power-cycle you router after the update has finished
3. start the SSH daemon on your router by logging into it and then going to "Administration" --> "System" --> adapt the settings according to the image:

   You can also choose another port, it doesn't matter, you just have to remember it for the next steps.
4. Also click the "Enable JFFS custom scripts and configs" badge
5. Click "Reboot" at the top of the page and wait until the reboot finished
6. SSH into your router
   • Windows: download putty
     • IP: your router ip
     • Port: port which you have entered above
     • Connection Type: SSH
     • Hit Open and enter your username and password which you also use to login into the router website
   • Mac or Linux-Systems: open a terminal and type:

     Code: Select all

     ssh -p 2222 router-username@router-ip-address

     Hit the Enter key on your keyboard. Type the router password (you wont see what you are writing, just type the password) and hit Enter again.
   • You have to type "yes" (without quotes) when there is the question if you want to add this device to the known-hosts file and hit the Enter key
7. You should now see a blinking cursor. Type the following (Enter after each line):

   Code: Select all

   cd /jffs/scripts/
   nano init-start

   Paste the following into this file and replace MAC-ADDRESS by the mac address you want to detect and IDX with the virtual switch ID which we have created in step a. (e.g. cru a PRESENCE "*/1 * * * * /jffs/scripts/presence_detection A1:B2:3C:D4:5F:67 27"):

   Code: Select all

   #! /bin/sh
   cru a PRESENCE "*/1 * * * * /jffs/scripts/presence_detection MAC-ADDRESS IDX"

   Press CTRL+O then Enter to save the file. Then CTRL+X to exit nano.
8. Now:

   Code: Select all

   nano presence_detection

   Paste this into the file and replace domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort with the right settings (e.g. domoticz:[email protected]:8080)

   Code: Select all

   #!/bin/sh
   
   mac=$1
   idx=$2
   device_present=Off
   domoticz_status=`curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
   type=devices&rid=$idx" | grep Status | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/[",]//g'`
   
   # look in 2.4GHz (eth1) network for device
   for x in `wl -i eth1 assoclist | awk '{print $2}'`; do
    if [ $x = $mac ]; then
           device_present=On
    fi
   done
   
   # look in 5GHz (eth2) network for device
   for x in `wl -i eth2 assoclist | awk '{print $2}'`; do
    if [ $x = $mac ]; then
           device_present=On
    fi
   done
   
   # tell domoticz the new device status
   if [ $domoticz_status != $device_present ]; then
    if [ $device_present = "On" ]; then
           curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
           type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$idx&switchcmd=On" > /dev/null
    else
           curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
           type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$idx&switchcmd=Off" > /dev/null
    fi
   fi

   Again press CTRL+O then Enter to save the file. Then CTRL+X to exit nano.
   
   If you have a protected switch (thanks user timop!) you have to replace the following three lines:

   Code: Select all

   replace
   domoticz_status=`curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
   type=devices&rid=$idx" | grep Status | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/[",]//g'`
   with
   domoticz_status=`curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
   type=devices&rid=$idx&passcode=switchPassword" | grep Status | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/[",]//g'`
   
   replace
   curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
   type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$idx&switchcmd=On" > /dev/null
   with
   curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
   type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$idx&switchcmd=On&passcode=switchPassword" > /dev/null
   
   replace
   curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
   type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$idx&switchcmd=Off" > /dev/null
   with
   curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?\
   type=command&param=switchlight&idx=$idx&switchcmd=Off&passcode=switchPassword" > /dev/null
   

   Where "switchPassword" stands you have to enter the password that you have set in Domoticz (Setup->Settings->Light/Switch Protection).
   
   Now we have to set the correct permissions. Enter:

   Code: Select all

   chmod 755 init-start
   chmod 755 presence_detection

   Then we test the script we have just created by typing (replace MAC-ADDRESS by the mac address you want to detect and IDX with the virtual switch ID):

   Code: Select all

   ./presence_detection MAC-ADDRESS IDX

   If there is no error after executing the script and I have not forgotten to describe a step and the device you want to detect is in your network, the virtual switch in Domoticz should change its state.

domoticz_status=`curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?type=devices&rid=$idx" | grep Status | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/[",]//g'`

in one line without a "new row" as it is in the original code.

You have the same problem in a couple of other rows also.

domoticz_status=`curl -s "http://domoticzUser:domoticzPassword@domoticzIP:domoticzPort/json.htm?type=devices&rid=$idx" \
 | grep Status | awk '{print $3}' | sed 's/[",]//g'`

I'm running this on my system and it is working great!

A big thank you to Surroot!
