Turn a switch on/off using the web-interface

 ! Attention !

You will destroy the original Web-interface with this startup-script!

Do this only if you are familar with some rescue commands on the linux command-line on ssh!

Uses

  • Hook it up to your car's door switch and open your car with your wifi enabled cellphone.
  • If you have Remote Start System installed on your car you can hook up the remote control of the system to your f.i.c.s. (fonera internet controlled switch) and turn ON/OFF your car from the internet
  • Open your house/garage door.
  • Turn ON/OFF your POOL PUMP.
  • Restart additional routers with f.i.c.s.


Parts needed

  • New/Safer circuit will be posted soon.

Router configuration

  • Log on to your router (192.168.1.1)
  • Go to Administration > Management
enable jffs2
web-interface - jffs2
web-interface - jffs2


  • Go to Administration > Services
enable ssh
web-interface - ssh
web-interface - ssh


  • Go to Administration > Commands
type:
echo 1 > /proc/gpio/3_dir
rmdir /tmp/www; ln -s /jffs/www /tmp
  • Click Save Startup
web-interface - save startup
web-interface - save startup


  • Now log on to your router using ssh
ssh root@192.168.1.1
  • type:
cd /jffs
mkdir www
cd www
wget http://wildblue.de/fonera/controlling_ac-loads/index
wget http://wildblue.de/fonera/controlling_ac-loads/on
wget http://wildblue.de/fonera/controlling_ac-loads/off
wget http://wildblue.de/fonera/controlling_ac-loads/blink
chmod +x on off index blink
new web-interface
new web-interface
Now you can control the switch simply by clickin ON or OFF from your favorite browser (i use my cell phone to activate the switch thru the web interface). Since my linux kung-fu skills are not developed yet, it took me some time to get familiar with .sh scripts.


Original Idea

http://www.cryptonoid.blogspot.com (f.i.c.s. Fonera Internet Controlled Switch)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKPsH34InMo (Watch the f.i.s.c in action - video)

Development

since im not very good in programming shell scripts can someone write a Shell script where the user will be able to schedule the f.i.c.s. to go ON/OFF at certain times thru the web interface.
