To use the Zensehome ZenseHome installation from outside, we need some "service manager" at the home LAN to send API commands to the Zensehome ZenseHome box.

This is a POC - Proof of concept Of Concept - It has various security problems and stupid static scripts - that could be improved and parameter paramized parameterized (so much...) |

Installing the basics
As I have an Ubuntu server (with PLEX) in the house already (located at IP 10.0.0.150), I add the webserver apache2 to the installation. :
| Kodeblok |
|---|
sudo apt-get install apache2 sudo a2enmod cgi sudo service apache2 restart |
then changing the default Apache2 config file:
| Kodeblok | ||
|---|---|---|

<VirtualHost *:80>
# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request's Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.
#ServerName www.example.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
DocumentRoot /var/www/html
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/www/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin/">
Options +ExecCGI
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl .sh .exp
</Directory>
# Available loglevels: trace8, ..., trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,
# error, crit, alert, emerg.
# It is also possible to configure the loglevel for particular
# modules, e.g.
#LogLevel info ssl:warn
ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log
CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined
# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with "a2disconf".
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
</VirtualHost> |
Adding Zensehome /expect scipts
In the /var/www/cgi-bin/ I place 2 files:
| Kodeblok | ||
|---|---|---|
| ||
#!/usr/bin/expect spawn telnet 10.0.0.110 10001 expect "'^]'." send ">>Login 32010<<\r" expect ">>Login Ok<<" sleep .1; send ">>Set 10604 1<<" sleep .1; send ">>Logout<<\r" expect ">>Logout Ok<<" exit |

#!/usr/bin/expect spawn telnet 10.0.0.110 10001 expect "'^]'." send ">>Login 32010<<\r" expect ">>Login Ok<<" sleep .1; send ">>Set 10604 0<<" sleep .1; send ">>Logout<<\r" expect ">>Logout Ok<<" exit |
And now its possible to turn on the Kontor Office light at the URL: http://10.0.0.150/cgi-bin/turnon-10604office.exp
And off at http://10.0.0.150/cgi-bin/turnoff-10604office.exphttp

As there is not output, the Apache will return a 500 Error. Theres room for improvement - https:// |

Access from outside
The next step is to make a port forward in my Icotera Router:
And now its accessible from the world!!

Here, we should consider to make some (at least) IP restrictions in the Apache. Currently, the whole world can potentionally turn the office light on/off
