HUE HACK: Soft Link Button

Description

I go really tired of walking a flight of stairs to push a button on the bridge for the x time. So I though: if only I could use some web call to do that, hmmm Luckily we can!!!

Thanks to all the people in the references!!!

Contact tristan@monkeycat.nl!

Other nice stuff!

Rooting!

First pin2pwn your way into the bridge... see all the references for more detail information. This is a fast walkthrough! Read the references first!!!

Let's go! Open it up!

screw

Solder a header to it (or not, but makes life easier :-)

pins

Need on of these (1.50 euro :-)

usbserial

Make sure it's jumper selects 3.3v and connect it with some dupont wires,

USBSERIAL  <--> BRIDGE
GND        <--> 1 (GND)
TX         <--> 4 (RX)
RX         <--> 5 (TX)

Use a serial monitor/terminal app (I used the one build in Arduino) to look if you see any chatter. If so short it before it loads the flash... (look for the word bee ;-)

short

With a prompt. Make your own password on ubuntu (or some other distro that has that command) with the mkpasswd command. Pick MD5 if you want to login to the bridge with ssh. SHA-256 won't work.

mkpasswd --method=MD5

Example output password: toor

$1$trHrRIqN$2iZEbgsyCy12f6tNeKvO41)

if not using ssh you can use SHA-256

mkpasswd --method=SHA-256

Example output password: toor

$5$5ijpVxNPFB$2Viqp.XSTeIHOaV.AKs8Fx.oqytyr5qySFIbr5iza59

Whatever you choose set it up with (your own password):

setenv security '$1$trHrRIqN$2iZEbgsyCy12f6tNeKvO41'
setenv bootdelay 3
saveenv

Reboot... when finished. Login to the terminal

SSH

Only works with MD5 passwords...

cp /etc/rc.local /etc/rc.local.orig
echo -e "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 --syn -j ACCEPT" > /etc/rc.local
cp /etc/config/dropbear /etc/config/dropbear.orig
echo -e "\toption Rootl.Login '1'" >> /etc/config/dropbear

Telnet

Only use if you do not use SSH!

echo -e "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 23 --syn -j ACCEPT" > /etc/rc.local
echo -e "telnetd" >> /etc/rc.local

Reboot...

After this you can use either telnet or ssh into it... pfff ;-)

Setup!

Package Mananger

The alternative has less nice stuff :-)

cp /etc/opkg.conf /etc/opkg.conf.orig
# Alternative: echo -e "src/gz bsb002 http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ar71xx/packages" > /etc/opkg.conf
echo -e "src/gz bsb002 http://downloads.openwrt.org/attitude_adjustment/12.09/ar71xx/generic/packages/" > /etc/opkg.conf
echo -e "dest root /" >> /etc/opkg.conf
echo -e "dest ram /tmp" >> /etc/opkg.conf
echo -e "lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists" >> /etc/opkg.conf
echo -e "option overlay_root /overlay" >> /etc/opkg.conf
opkg update

Nano!

opkg install nano
echo -e "export TERM=xterm" >> /etc/profile

Wifi (optional)

cp /etc/config/wireless /etc/config/wireless.orig
opkg update
opkg install wpa-supplicant
nano /etc/config/wireless

Make it like this:

config wifi-device  radio0
	option type     mac80211
	option channel  11
	option hwmode	11ng
	option path	'platform/qca953x_wmac'

	list ht_capab	SHORT-GI-40
	list ht_capab	TX-STBC
	list ht_capab	RX-STBC1
	list ht_capab	DSSS_CCK-40
	option htmode	HT20
    
config wifi-iface
        option device   radio0
        option network  wlan
        option mode     sta
        option ssid     YourSSID
        option encryption psk2
        option key      YourPassword

Save & commit!

uci commit wireless

Python/Lua

opkg install python

Putting it al together...

Some extra: Toggling leds :-)

World Network LED

echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/bsb002\:blue\:portal/brightness
delay 1
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/bsb002\:blue\:portal/brightness

Network LED

echo 1 >/sys/class/leds/bsb002\:blue\:network/brightness
delay 1
echo 0 >/sys/class/leds/bsb002\:blue\:network/brightness

Always accept

echo "[btn_link,pressed]" > /var/hue-ipbridge/button_in

Just never release it :-) Possible to add it to: /etc/rc.local

Simulate bridge press

echo "[btn_link,pressed]" > /var/hue-ipbridge/button_in
echo "[btn_link,released]" > /var/hue-ipbridge/button_in

The Server

nano /etc/ButtonLink.py

Add the following code

__version__ = "0.1"
__all__ = ["ButtonLink"]

import os
import BaseHTTPServer
import urllib
import shutil

try:
    from cStringIO import StringIO
except ImportError:
    from StringIO import StringIO

class SimpleHTTPRequestHandler(BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler):

    server_version = "ButtonLinkHTTP/" + __version__

    def do_GET(self):
        f = StringIO()
        f.write("<html>\n<title>HUE Soft Link Button</title>\n")
        f.write("<body>Toggled!</body>\n</html>\n")
        os.system("echo \"[btn_link,pressed]\" > /var/hue-ipbridge/button_in")
        time.sleep(1)
        os.system("echo \"[btn_link,released]\" > /var/hue-ipbridge/button_in")
        length = f.tell()
        f.seek(0)
        self.send_response(200)
        self.send_header("Content-type", "text/html")
        self.send_header("Content-Length", str(length))
        self.end_headers()
        shutil.copyfileobj(f, self.wfile)
        if f:
            f.close()


def test(HandlerClass = SimpleHTTPRequestHandler,
         ServerClass = BaseHTTPServer.HTTPServer):
    BaseHTTPServer.test(HandlerClass, ServerClass)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    test()

Firewall rule

echo -e "iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 8000 --syn -j ACCEPT" >> /etc/rc.local

Persistence

echo -e "python /etc/ButtonLink.py" >> /etc/rc.local

Usage

Surf to

http://IP_HUE_BRIGE:8000/

to toggle the button...

Final Though

You're HUE bridges is rooted so you can probably do more fun stuff with it. Note that a factory reset will wipe any trace of any mod you made. It will survive an update (so far)

Well thats-sa-bout-it...
