Telnet switch #8913

multiholle · 2017-08-10T17:13:15Z

Description:

New platform telnet switch. Allows to control a device with telnet commands for on and off. Can fetch the state of the device or work as optimistic switch.

Example entry for `configuration.yaml` (if applicable):

switch:
  platform: telnet
  switches:
    projector:
      resource: "host_or_ip"
      command_on: "PWR ON"
      command_off: "PWR OFF"
      command_state: "PWR?"
      value_template: '{{ value == "PWR=01" }}'

Looks great overall! Just a few small questions/requests.

Can we drop the optimistic configuration and just assume it's optimistic if there's no command state defined, or is there something I'm missing? For example, assumed_state can just be return self._command_state is None.

This should be debug level, correct?

Small nitpick, but single underscore prefix is preferred for normal internal methods.

Updated PR.

emlove · 2017-08-13T17:30:50Z

Good to go once the docs PR is up-to-date.

lwis · 2017-08-17T08:38:47Z

Should the encoding be hardcoded to ASCII? Doesn't it depend on what the host is configured to accept?

multiholle · 2017-08-17T08:46:06Z

Here it states that Telnet uses ASCII encoding: http://www.pcmicro.com/netfoss/telnet.html

Don't log this. Maybe a debug but not more.

pvizeli · 2017-08-17T10:24:55Z

I think if someone have a no ASCII Telnet device, he can make a PR for set encoding as options.

I'm quite busy at the moment. I'm trying to get back to the PR next week.

multiholle · 2017-09-13T06:24:32Z

@pvizeli @fabaff I updated the pull request.

elRadix · 2017-09-23T20:29:33Z

How can I use this addon when authentication is required in order to perform the on/off commands
and would I use this addon in order to replace my script with status of the switch ****

#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn telnet 192.168.1.61 2024
expect ">Ready"
send "\r"
send "Pass password \r"
send "Setrelay 34,1 \r" # switch ON
>Relay 34,ON
send "Setrelay 34,0 \r" # switch OFF
>Relay 34,OFF
send "Getrelay 34\r"   # switch status 
>Relay 34,ON
