Code for Energenie LAN Powerstrip

[whiteduck]

All,

Not implemented this yet but wanted to share something that could be useful:
https://energenie4u.co.uk/index.php/cat ... ct/ENER019

Found it cheapest at:
http://www.hitari.co.uk/energenie-lan-p ... ystem.html

You don't need this if you have RFXCom as I've seen elsewhere on this forum that you can control a cheaper unit via 433MHz RF.

However to control over the LAN from Linux the HOWTO states:
To login:

Code: Select all

$ wget --post-data 'pw=smartlab' 'http://nn.nn.nn.nn/login.html' -O foo.html --delete-after

To switch Socket3 ON:

Code: Select all

$ wget --post-data 'cte1=&cte2=&cte3=1&cte4=' 'http://nn.nn.nn.nn' -O foo.html --delete-after

To switch Socket3 OFF:

Code: Select all

$ wget --post-data 'cte1=&cte2=&cte3=0&cte4=' 'http://nn.nn.nn.nn' -O foo.html --delete-after

To logout:

Code: Select all

$ wget 'http://nn.nn.nn.nn/login.html' -O foo.html –-delete-after

Best regards
Ian

UK only?

No seen EU devices also… http://energenie.com/item.aspx?id=7557

Great, I ordered one, arrives in 2-3 days

[whiteduck]

Cool - let me know how you get on. I guess we should also poll the device to ensure Domoticz shows current status.

Damn, received the LAN Powerstrip unit today, but it does not show any signs of live on the LAN interface. it looks like it is DOA. Will ask for a new one next week.

[whiteduck]

Did you try resetting it - also may be the cable as the RJ45 is quite tight on this one - needs a straight through cable.

I have written a (basic) Bash script to control this - feel free to use and modify at your own risk
Note: I assume wget is in default path and do no error checks...

Firstly you need to define 4 dummy switches in Domoticz. I called mine Ener1,2,3,4
I then have four lua scripts - ener1,2,3,4 - the example below is for the first - just change the parameters for 2,3,4 - but I guess you could use a single script.

I put my installation under /root so modify this for your own setup.

script_device_ener1.lua

Code: Select all

commandArray = {}
if (devicechanged['Ener1'] == 'On') then
	os.execute('/root/domoticz/scripts/energenie 1 on')
end
if (devicechanged['Ener1'] == 'Off') then
	os.execute('/root/domoticz/scripts/energenie 1 off')
end
return commandArray

Then the Bash code looks like this - note this doesn't do any error checking!

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
exec > /dev/null 2>&1 # Redirect all output to null

IP=192.168.0.254
URL=http://$IP
SOCK=$1
CMD=$2
PASS=yourpass

if [ "$CMD" = "on" ]
then
 ACTION=1
else
 ACTION=0
fi

# Login first
wget --post-data pw=$PASS $URL/login.html -O foo.html --delete-after

# Send command
case $SOCK in
 "1" ) wget --post-data "cte1=$ACTION&cte2=&cte3=&cte4=" $URL -O foo.html --delete-after ;;
 "2" ) wget --post-data "cte1=&cte2=$ACTION&cte3=&cte4=" $URL -O foo.html --delete-after ;;
 "3" ) wget --post-data "cte1=&cte2=&cte3=$ACTION&cte4=" $URL -O foo.html --delete-after ;;
 "4" ) wget --post-data "cte1=&cte2=&cte3=&cte4=$ACTION" $URL -O foo.html --delete-after ;;
esac

# Logout
wget ${URL}/login.html -O foo.html --delete-after

exit 0;

Something to do would be to check the status of the sockets and update Domoticz if something else changes them to on or off.

Good luck!

It was broken, received another one today. This one is working

Great, this works fine for now, thanks.

My system runs on a Raspberry Pi 2. I have one of these Energenie LAN controlled adapters and here is another way of controlling it in Linux, using a utility I found.

1. Download and install the egctl utility written by unterwulf

Code: Select all

cd ~
git clone https://github.com/unterwulf/egctl.git
cd egctl
make
sudo make install

2. Create the config file:

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/egtab

enter one line for each device you have, in the format
devicename protocol ipaddress port password
for example:

Code: Select all

4way pms21 192.168.1.56 5000 pa55w0rd

Now ctrl-X and write the file.

3. Check it works

Code: Select all

egctl devicename

The response will indicate the current status of the switches

4. Using in Domoticz

You must always provide instructions for each of the switches 1 to 4
on = turn switch on regardless
off = turn switch off regardless
left = leave switch as is
toggle = change switch to the opposite state

eg: egctl 4way on off on toggle

In domoticz, create a dummy hardware device.
Create a dummy switch
In the "on action" or "off action" fields enter for example

Code: Select all

script:///home/pi/egctl/egctl 4way on left left left

Hope that helps!

Great, it works very well.

Thanks 4 that
