Configuration

STEP 1 : homebridge config.json file

Add this lines in config.json

"accessories": [
        {
            "accessory": "OrangeLiveboxInfo",
            "name": "Orange Livebox Info",
            "file": "/tmp/_homebridge-livebox-info.json",
            "serial": "042-04-000",
            "updateInterval": 60000
        }
    ],
ParameterNoteOptionnalvalue
accessoryName of accessoryNoLiveboxInfo
namea human-readable name for your pluginNoLivebox Info
file.json respons fileyesdefault : /tmp/_homebridge-livebox-info.json
updateIntervalis time in ms of data updateyesdefault : null

1. The index.js call <PATH of node Module>/homebridge-macosx-info/sh/homebridge-livebox-info.sh shell script. You can find this script in the repository in /src/sh directory 2. It’s possible that you can change the path of homebridge-livebox-info.sh in readUptime function on index.js script

async function readUptime() {
    const exec = require('child_process').exec;
    var script = await exec('/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-macosx-info/src/sh/homebridge-livebox-info.sh',
        (error, stdout, stderr) => {
            if (error !== null) {
                //this.log("exec error: " + ${error});
            }
        });
};

STEP 2 : Adapte homebridge-livebox-info.sh file in src/sh directory

  • You can change path of temporary .json files : JSON_DATA_FILE variable
#!/bin/sh

DIR=$(dirname $0)
TMP_DIR=/tmp
TMP_DSLRATE=_homebridge-livebox-dslrate.tmp
TMP_PHONESTATE=_homebridge-livebox-phonestate.tmp
TMP_TVSTATE=_homebridge-livebox-tvstate.tmp
TMP_WIFISTATE=_homebridge-livebox-wifistate.tmp
JSON_DATA_FILE=$TMP_DIR/_homebridge-livebox-info.json # path of .json respons file

function livebox_mon()
{
  $DIR/lbx_sysbus.py -dslrate > $TMP_DIR/$TMP_DSLRATE
  $DIR/lbx_sysbus.py -info >> $TMP_DIR/$TMP_DSLRATE
  $DIR/lbx_sysbus.py -phonestate > $TMP_DIR/$TMP_PHONESTATE
  $DIR/lbx_sysbus.py -tvstate > $TMP_DIR/$TMP_TVSTATE
  $DIR/lbx_sysbus.py -wifistate > $TMP_DIR/$TMP_WIFISTATE

  _time=`date`

  response=null
  key=null
  value=null
  response='{"updateTime":"'${_time}'",'

  while read line; do
    read -a fields <<< $line ;
    key=${line/%: *} ; key=$(echo "$key" | perl -pe 's/^ *| *$//g')
    value=${line#*\:} ; value=${value:1} ; value=$(echo "$value" | perl -pe 's/^ *| *$//g')
    if [[ "${key}" == "Upstream" || "${key}" == "Downstream" ]]
    then
      value=${value% *}
    fi
    if [ "${key}" == "UpTime" ]
    then
      value=${value% (*} ; value=${value// /}
    fi
    response=${response}\"${key}\":\"${value}\",
  done < $TMP_DIR/$TMP_DSLRATE

  response=${response%?}

  phonestate=`cat $TMP_DIR/$TMP_PHONESTATE | grep "'status'" | grep -v "{'status':"`
  phonestate=${phonestate#*\'status\':} ; phonestate=${phonestate// /} ; phonestate=${phonestate//\'/} ; phonestate=${phonestate/%,}

  tvstate=`cat $TMP_DIR/$TMP_TVSTATE | grep "'IPTVStatus'"`
  tvstate=${tvstate#*\'IPTVStatus\':} ; tvstate=${tvstate// /} ; tvstate=${tvstate%\},*} ; tvstate=${tvstate//\'/}

  wifistate=`cat $TMP_DIR/$TMP_WIFISTATE | grep "'Status'"`
  wifistate=${wifistate#*\'Status\':} ; wifistate=${wifistate// /} ; wifistate=${wifistate//\'/} ; wifistate=${wifistate//\}/}

  response=${response%?}\",\"PhoneState\":\"$phonestate\",\"TVState\":\"$tvstate\",\"WifiState\":\"$wifistate\"}
  echo $response > $JSON_DATA_FILE
}

livebox_mon

STEP 3 : Install & configure lbx_sysbus.py file in src/sh directory

lbx_sysbus.py is a Python 3 script that allows you to programmatically control a Livebox and explore control possibilities and other hidden information. It is an “experimental” tool.

  1. The script is written in Python 3. It also requires requests which greatly simplifies HTTP requests.
$ pip3 install requests
  1. Now you must change/adapt the variables to connect on Orange Livebox : URL_LIVEBOX, USER_LIVEBOX, PASSWORD_LIVEBOX and VERSION_LIVEBOX
URL_LIVEBOX = '<url of livebox interface configuration>' #example http://192.168.1.1/
USER_LIVEBOX = '<user admin>' #example admin
PASSWORD_LIVEBOX = '<user admin pwd>' #example p@ssw0rd
VERSION_LIVEBOX = '<LiveBox version>' #example lb4

STEP 4 : restart homebridge

Combine the two commands in a terminal to restart homebridge background process

  • launchctl unload ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.homebridge.server.plist
  • launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.homebridge.server.plist

This commands are only avalable for macOS
