To use the Zensehome installation from outside, we need some "service manager" at the home LAN to send commands to the Zensehome box.
This is a POC - Proof of concept - It has various security problems and static scripts - that could be improved (so much...)
A Pre-requsite is reading / installting from Zensehome API interfacing
As I have an Ubuntu server (with PLEX) in the house (located at IP 10.0.0.150), I add apache2 :
sudo apt-get install apache2 sudo a2enmod cgi sudo service apache2 restart
then changing the default Apache2 config file:
<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>
In the /var/www/cgi-bin/ I place 2 files:
#!/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 light at the URL: http://10.0.0.150/cgi-bin/turnon-10604.exp
And off at http://10.0.0.150/cgi-bin/turnoff-10604.exp
