Wake On Lan in Scene

[Hallamnet 17]

Hi all.

 

Wonder if anyone can help with this issue i have.

 

I have setup a plugin for WOL (Wake On Lan) so i can press a virtual button on my phone and it turns on a PC.

 

I now want to include this in to a scene so when i start the scene, the PC turns on with other devices. Ony wanted this since getting the amazon Echo service working with my setup. Idea is to walk in the room and say, Alexa, Turn on Cinema and all will just turn on and work.

 

Issue is, i can't add in the WOL plugin with a scene.

 

Has anyone managed to do this and if so, how?

 

Thanks,

 

Hal

If I look at your VD I see 1 button, so this should work from a scene:

 

fibaro:call(vdid, "pressButton", "1")

 

You have to change vdid to the id of the VD (can be found in the address bar of your browser)

SO managed to find the following scene but cant get it to run.

 

--[[
%% properties
%% globals
--]]

-- convert MAC adress, every 2 Chars (7-bit ASCII), to one Byte Char (8-bits)
function convertMacAddress(address)
local s = string.gsub(address, ":", "");
local x = ""; -- will contain converted MAC
for i=1, 12, 2 do
x = x .. string.char(tonumber(string.sub(s, i, i+1), 16));
end
return x;
end

fibaro:log("Start process");

-- MAC adress
local _macAddress = convertMacAddress("44:8A:5B:29:B3:9E");
-- Create Magic Packet 6 x FF
local _magicPacket = string.char(0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff);
-- Broadcast Address
local _broadcastAddress = "255.255.255.255";
-- Default port used
local _wakeOnLanPort = 9;

fibaro:sleep(750);

for i = 1, 16 do
_magicPacket = _magicPacket .. _macAddress;
end

fibaro:log("Magic packet successfully created");

fibaro:sleep(1000);

socket = Net.FUdpSocket();
socket:setBroadcast(true);

local bytes, errorCode = socket:write(_magicPacket, _broadcastAddress, _wakeOnLanPort);
--check for error
if errorCode == 0 then
fibaro:log("Successfully sent");
else
fibaro:log("Transfer failed");
end

-- clean up memory
socket = nil;

fibaro:sleep(1000);
fibaro:log("Please wait for the computer to startup.");

 

All is get is the following debug error.

 

[DEBUG] 00:01:02: line 16: attempt to call method 'log' (a nil value)

 

Can anyone help.

 

Thanks,

@Hallamnet do a search for the sonos plugin scene - I think you should be able to run the api commands to 'press' the button in the plugin for you, by utilising that work from before.

 

I'm just stuck on getting WOL to work for my PC at this stage

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

Unfortunately, this is not possible the way the plug-in works. There is no button number to use:-(

 

All works fine with the plug-in but want to get it working with a scene and i can use the HA Bridge with alexa.

 

Thanks very much though.

@hallamnet, no problem just an idea.  (i'm new to this so educated guessing :))

 

I was thinking that by calling the api of the HC2 (rather than a fibaro:call), you can call/'press' the button on the main interface of the plugin?  (in the thread iv'e linked below)

 

local http = net.HTTPClient() http:request("http://127.0.0.1:11111/api/plugins/callUIEvent?deviceID=" .. PluginID.. "&elementName=" .. event .. "_Button&eventType=onReleased", { options = { method ='GET' }, success = successCallback, error = errorCallback }) end

fibaro:call(vdid, 'turnOn') works for me

In HC3 you can add device: Other device -> Wake On Lan, which gets an id X.  In Wake On Lan you select the mac address of the PC you want to wake up. In a LUA scene you start it with fibaro:call(X, 'turnOn')

Sorry for reviving this old thread but I run into a bit of problems regarding this subject.

 

I created a VD on my HC2 to see if my server is online. The main loop of the VD checks every 5 minutes to see if my server is still running.

This works beautifully. Now I want to create a button that if pressed it will try to wake to server via WOL. Unfortunately my server is in the 192.168.1.XX range and my HC2 is in the 192.168.2.XX range

 

On my laptop I can use

Is there a way to put this in the script? I tried putting the broadcast IP to a different value but it does not work

I also tried the plugin but this also just scans in the 192.168.2.XX range. Putting the MAC in there did not boot the server

Ignore my ignorance. WOL does not work across different subnets.
