And for my disclaimer: By running this software, the author of etherlighter is not responsible for any damage caused by the use of this software. This is for educational purposes only.
- Make sure you have a UniFi device with Etherlighting adopted into your network.
- Find the IP address of the device you want to connect to. This can be found in the "UniFi Devices" tab in Unifi Network.
- Get your device authentication credentials under Settings > System > Advanced.
- (Optional) Add an RSA SSH key for passwordless authentication.
- Build it:
go build - Run it:
./etherlighter -device <ip> -user <username>- For usage:
./etherlighter -help
- For usage:
This program will establish an SSH connection to your UniFi device and execute commands that adjust the Etherlighting options. To achieve this, most of the operations involve writing to a procfs file (/proc/led/*) with different reverse engineered configurations. Searching the device's filesystem, you can find references to different scripts (e.g. in /etc/rc.d) that write to files in that directory.
