Starting the server

Starts the server on port 12345 bind to IP 127.0.0.1 (default):

./funksteckdosen-rest-rs --port 12345

Starts the server on port 12345 without any IP binding:

./funksteckdosen-rest-rs --port 12345 --bind 0.0.0.0

Switch the socket

http://localhost:12345/pin/11100/3/0

• 11100 is the system code

• 3 is the unit code

• 0 is the command (off)

Run as service

• change path in funksteckdosen_rest_rs.service

• cp file to systemd

sudo cp funksteckdosen_rest_rs.service /lib/systemd/system/

• commands

# start
sudo systemctl start funksteckdosen-rest-rs.service

# stop
sudo systemctl stop funksteckdosen-rest-rs.service

# show status
sudo systemctl status funksteckdosen-rest-rs.service

• activate after reboot

sudo systemctl enable funksteckdosen-rest-rs.service 

• deactivate after reboot

sudo systemctl disable funksteckdosen-rest-rs.service 

Use Case

I control the sockets with my Home Assistant instance. For this I use the rest comand.

# configuration.yaml
#
rest_command:
        socket_2:
                url: http://192.168.178.123:12345/pin/11100/2/0

# automations.yaml
# light_living_room is a input_button from helpers
#
- id: 'socket_2_auto'
        alias: Light Living Room
        description: Red Lamp
        trigger:
        - platform: state
          entity_id:
                - input_button.light_living_room
        condition: []
        action:
        - service: rest_command.socket_2
          data: {}
        mode: single
