ServerlessNabaztag is a firmware allowing control of the Nabaztag/tag directly via the web, without an external server (a web server is needed only for downloading the firmware and the mp3s).
With this firmware, you can connect at http://<YOURNABAZTAGIP>/ and completely control your rabbit with a very simple web interface, as show in the following screenshot:
All the commands can be called with a single HTTP requests from an external program/script, example:
$ curl http://nabaztag/wakeup
In examples/check_mail.py, there is a script that turns on the nose when you have unread email and changes the lights color according to the weather forecast.
- Unplug the rabbit, press the button on its head and hold it while you replug your rabbit. When all the lights are blue, you can release the button
- On your computer, connect to the wifi network created by your rabbit (the name should be Nabaztag<XX>)
- Go to the configuration page at the following address: http://192.168.0.1
- At the bottom of the page, in General Info, change "Violet Platform" to http://nabaztag.joe.dj/vl
- Click on Update settings and wait for rabbit to reboot.
- You can now connect to the IP of your rabbit, configure and control it. (note: if your rabbit IP is assigned with DHCP, you have to discover the IP address. Usually you can check the assigned IP from some page on your router)
- Create a folder "vl" an a website
- Download the file vl/bc.jsp
- Copy the file "bc.jsp" to the web server into the "vl" folder (note: it's not a Java Server Page, it's a binary file)
- Download the mp3 files from https://github.com/andreax79/ServerlessNabaztag/tree/main/vl
- Copy the mp3 files in the "vl/config" directory on the web server. The resulting directroy structure is the following:
- Unplug the rabbit, press the button on its head and hold it while you replug your rabbit. When all the lights are blue, you can release the button
- On your computer, connect to the wifi network created by your rabbit (the name should be Nabaztag<XX>)
- Go to the configuration page at the following address: http://192.168.0.1
- At the bottom of the page, in General Info, change "Violet Platform" to the url of the vl directory (without http://, example: 192.168.0.1/vl)
- Click on Update settings and wait for rabbit to reboot.
- You can now connect to the IP of your rabbit, configure and control it. (note: if your rabbit IP is assigned with DHCP, you have to discover the IP address. Usually you can check the assigned IP from some page on your router)
- Control the rabbit via HTTP API
- Configure via web interface
- Fetch the current time from a time server and play the corresponding sound every hour
- Fetch weather from open-meteo
- Autonomously wake up at go to sleep
- Respond to ICMP pings
