running a script

[Alberto Stabile]

Dears, 

  there is a way to running a script via insteon-terminal? I just install terminal and it works very well but I can just only running in interactive mode. There is a way to run a csh or sh or python script directly from the linux shell?

Thanks, 

[Daniel Pfrommer]

At the moment there is no such feature in the main branch, as that was never intended to be used outside of an interactive context.

A while back I started work on a python-only version of the insteon terminal which would allow you to use the terminal utilities as a python library that you can import the standard way.

You can check it out at: https://github.com/pfrommerd/insteon-terminal/tree/experimental

It's not complete yet, but does have all the send/receive functionality of the old terminal, and allows you to modify the modem link database (it doesn't let you modify the device link database yet though). I hope to have some free time around Christmas to finish this up and get it to feature parity with the old insteon-terminal, so hopefully I will finish this up soon (fingers crossed).

Oh wow, Thank you Daniel for your work. Really yesterday with some tricks. So I have changed your code and using shell env.  I runned some script connecting my insteon device to ha-bridge. Unfortunately, ha-bridge cannot anymore connected to the google home. Hence, I have decided to buy the new version of the hub 2245... :(  Finally, your work is very precious 'cause i can still used it to run some debug and configuration on my domotic network instead of using the stupid insteon gui ;)

A curiosity: Do you get this job for free?

Try this:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set timeout 10

set cmd [lindex $argv 0]

spawn bash

expect "*#"

send "cd /usr/src/insteon-terminal\r"

expect "*#"

send "./insteon-terminal\r"

expect ">>>*"

send "$cmd\r"

expect ">>>*" {

        after 1000

        send "\r"

}

send "\r"

expect ">>>*"

puts "CMD_OK\r"

send "quit()\r"

expect "*#"

send "exit\r"

expect eof
