Command to turn on the machine

[bubez81]

Hello, very interesting work!!! One question, it's possibile to only turn on the machine?

[mmastrac]

@bubez81 There's not currently a turn-on command, but that's a great idea for a new subcommand.

As a workaround, you can ask for a beverage that requires parameters and not provide them, while also passing the --turn-on flag:

cargo run -- brew --beverage hotwater --device-name [...] --turn-on

Great, the solution works perfectly.
I was wondering if you also noticed this:
I believe that something has changed for some time, perhaps a firmware update, but in my opinion the machine can no longer receive more than one command at a time.
Let me explain better, before you could have a connection from one device at a time (only the iPhone app or only from the PC) now if the connection from the PC remains open it is not possible to send a second command, so if I am monitoring the machine status I can't send the command to make coffee until I stop the command to monitor (ctrl + C)
es: if I have this

FWIW, I have never been able to connect to a machine multiple times w/Bluetooth. I've noticed that the machine will actively refuse a second connection, in fact. Earlier in the development of this project I was stumped a few times by the official app staying connected over bluetooth!

I think that for this particular case, there would need to be some sort of arbitrator process that either re-broadcast a bluetooth signal, or proxied the bluetooth signal to wifi and allowed for network connections instead.

I'd be more than happy to discuss a design for opening up a websockets server from the process and allowing multi-plexing that way!

@bubez81 I added a new status command that takes --turn-on as a parameter, so you won't need to use the fake brew command. It appears to be working, so I'll close this issue for now!

Thenk you!! meanwhile i integrated your software into my system in homeassistant ;)

[mmastrac]

That's super-cool. If you open-source it, let me know and I'll link it in the README :)

[bubez81]

Oh it's very simple, in home assistant I add this command_line shell_command:

prepara_espresso: /Users/michele/longshot/target/debug/longshot brew --device-name 8bb8f40d-4437-3e11-9fee-97d8c0584a48 --turn-on --beverage espressocoffee --coffee 30 --taste strong

accendi_delonghi: /Users/michele/longshot/target/debug/longshot brew --beverage hotwater --device-name 8bb8f40d-4437-3e11-9fee-97d8c0584a48 --turn-on

and then I create a card in Lovelace and call the service as a button:

          - type: custom:button-card
            layout: icon_name_state2nd
            tap_action:
              action: call-service
              service: shell_command.accendi_delonghi
              data: {}
              target: {}
            name: Accensione
            show_icon: true
            show_state: true
            icon: mdi:coffee-maker

Cool! I might link your comment here to the README to demo how you can integrate it into HA if you don't mind. :)

[bubez81]

sure! perfect!
