Terminal

Thu, 30 May 2013 17:16:09 -0700

Terminal is a Mac OS X native application, that comes with UNIX BSD. Netcat or nc can be used to set up a connection to a My Home gateway to monitor and analyze the automation bus traffic. Netcat (NC) is a convenient unix command to set up a connection with one of the gateways. The command to initiate a connection is nc <gateway> <port> as shown below. The gateway answers *#1## and wait for an additional command before disconnecting. HERE IS THE TRICK: the user shuld type *99*1## followed by ^D (End of File, or Control D). Note: typing CR will close the connection.

*99*0## opens a Command Session

*99*1## opens an Event Session

*99*9## opens a Scenario Session

There are several Unix (and Linux) commands that are useful to controls the devices in my home. These commands are available opening the Terminal application and typing the commands in one line.

Let's us start with the "curl" command that is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using one of the supported protocols (DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, POP3, POP3S, RTMP, SCP, SFTP, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, and TFTP). The command is designed to work without user interaction. For more info check the manual by typing man curl in a terminal window.

curl <gatewayIP>

It helps to check if the device HTTP service is working and it returns the following lines of text:

<HTML><HEAD><TITLE>My Home</TITLE>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" CONTENT="0;URL=iden.php">
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR=#FFFFFF LINK="#FF0000">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Which is a source of the http page with URL http://10.0.0.40

curl 10.0.0.40:20000

It helps to check the status of the SCS connection) and it returns:

*#*1##

=====================

curl -d *##*#13**15## -m 2 -s 10.0.0.40:20000

It returns the Model of the gateway:

*#*1##*#*0##*#13**15*44##*#*1##

44 is the code for the MH200N

=====================

curl -d *#*0*##*1*0*15## -m 2 -s 10.0.0.40:20000
