APMS - Access Point Management Service

Button based power control for TP-Link EAP225 devices using an Raspberry Pi. On-off switches for Access Points in LAN.

Hardware

• Raspberry Pi (Pi 1 B Rev 2 was tested, but basically all Pis with Ethernet adapter should work)
• Push Buttons and LEDs (in my case four times)
• Housing + Wires
• (optional) PoE Splitter for Power support such as this one

Setup

Enter your Access Point credentials as env variables or in a .env file next to the executable.

Edit the build script and add the IP of your Access Point. Run the script to build and upload the apms binary.

Run the following command once on the Raspberry Pi to register the service:

sudo cp apms.service /lib/systemd/system/apms.service
sudo chmod 644 /lib/systemd/system/apms.service
sudo systemctl start apms
sudo systemctl enable apms
sudo reboot 0

Debug

Run the following command on your Raspberry Pi to see the debug logs for the service:

journalctl -e -u apms.service
