Usage

About

fritzctl is a command line client for the AVM FRITZ!Box primarily focused on the AVM Home Automation HTTP Interface.

It should work out-of-the-box with most FRITZ!Boxes running a recent FRITZ!OS version. It has been explicitly tested with

FRITZ!Box	FRITZ!OS
FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7390	06.51, 06.80, 06.83
FRITZ!Box 6490 Cable	06.63, 06.83, 06.84, 06.87, 07.00
FRITZ!Box 7490	06.83, 06.90, 06.93

Windows

Windows binaries can found in the windows directory.

From Source

fritzctl is go-gettable. Set up a go environment guided by How To Write Go Code and then run

go get github.com/bpicode/fritzctl

As Library

Example:

package main

import "github.com/bpicode/fritzctl/fritz"

func main() { 
	h := fritz.NewHomeAuto(
		fritz.SkipTLSVerify(),
		fritz.Credentials("", "password"),
	)

	err := h.Login()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	h.Off("Socket_Bedroom")
	h.Temp(18.5, "Heating_Bedroom")
}

Reproducing binaries

Versions >= 1.4.16 can be checked for reproducibility. There is a ready-to-go Dockerfile which prepares an appropriate environment. Of course, the setup instructions can applied to any other build platform. To reproduce a release, prepare a docker image with the help of build-args

docker build -t fritzctl/build docker/build \
   --build-arg go_version=1.9.2 \
   --build-arg fritzctl_version=1.4.16 \
   --build-arg fritzctl_revision=v1.4.16

Building the binaries is done in the container phase:

docker run --rm -v fritzctl_build_folder:/root/go/src/github.com/bpicode/fritzctl/build fritzctl/build

The above command will create a docker volume fritzctl_build_folder containing the binaries. Those can be checked for equality with the distributed ones.
