[DSF Extension] Exec On MCode (was: Shutdown SBC)

wilriker

Release 5.2.0

I am pleased to announce release of execonmcode 5.2.0.

This release uses the latest version of godsfapi and makes use of the filters option in InterceptConnection, i.e. it will only receive those codes the user is interested in. This will significantly lower the the required resources e.g. while running a job.

As usual the binaries can be found at GitHub Releases page.

@wilriker at what point in the bootup cycle is execonmcode ready? I created a custom mCode that I'd like to call at the beginning of config.g, but it says it's unsupported. If I call it separately, or at the very end of config.g, it works correctly.

Any thoughts?

wilriker

@oozebot I think that primarily this depends on when execonmcode is started relative to startup of DCS. Or maybe DCS will even delay accepting API clients until a certain amount of startup tasks have been processed. @chrishamm should be able to give more insights on that.

chrishamm

@wilriker If ExecOnMCode is installed as a DSF plugin (will be officially supported in 3.3), it's started by DuetPluginService which is started by multi-user.target. Note that v3.3 will introduce /sys/dsf-config.g as well which is executed as soon as all the enabled plugins have been started.

Previously plugins were started by DCS, so by basic.target AFAIR.

@oozeBot Either move your custom codes to dsf-config.g if you're on pre-3.3 and/or add a delay to the end of your config file to make sure ExecOnMCode has been fully started before they're executed.

@chrishamm @wilriker - thank you both. We are just about to begin testing the 3.3 betas. This may need to be postponed until after it is released.

wilriker

@chrishamm As of right now ExecOnMCode is a simple API client just connecting to the socket. It is not yet converted to an official plugin. It will be started by a user-provided systemd unit (or arbitrary other means) completely independent of DCS.

@wilriker
I once wrote you a PM in German. because I don't know if you understand what I am writing via google translator

@All
I would like to send an http command using the Mxxxx command.

Let's assume I've installed everything as shown in the video linked here.

What do I have to enter where and how around this line:

http://IP.Adrresse.Of.Shelly/relay/0?turn=off

to be able to send?

P.S or edit or next step
i installed the ExecOnMCode with help of the two videos. but the shutdown (poweroff) with M7722 don't work for me.
The Service is running:
Bildschirmfoto 2021-05-18 um 22.03.40.png

but in DWC i see this message:
M7722
Warning: M7722: Command is not supported

And the Raspi is still working/running.

On Terminal (connected with Raspi) i see:
pi@CCC:~ $
2021/05/18 22:24:53 Connection to DCS closed
2021/05/18 22:24:53 EOF
pi@CCC:~ $

@crazycreator So, if you want to make a simple HTTP/GET call I'd say you need a cURL or wget command:

execonmcode -mCode 1234 -command 'wget -O /dev/null "http://IP.Adrresse.Of.Shelly/relay/0?turn=off"'

If you want to put that into the ExecStart line of a systemd unit you have to deal with systemd's escaping syntax. That will be a bit ugly but doable. Otherwise you could move the wget call into a simple bash-script and call that - one for on and one for off.

CrazyCreator

Ok .. sounds good.

But actually the script is not running correct ... the error popup on web-gui is the only reaction when I send M7722. The Raspi don't shut down or restart after this M7722 command.

the terminal show what you see on my terminal screen in my last posting

pi@CCC:/usr/local/bin $ sudo ./execonmcode -mCode 7722 -command "poweroff"
2021/05/19 20:47:59 Connection to DCS closed
2021/05/19 20:47:59 EOF

I think that's the problem. But i have no idea how to fix this.
I did the installation exactly as shown in the video.

CrazyCreator

nobody answer me?

when i try the command in terminal, connected with the Pi, with additional parameter
i see this output

pi@CCC:~ $ sudo /usr/local/bin/execonmcode -mCode 7722 -command poweroff -debug -trace
2021/05/20 15:54:21 7722: poweroff

2021/05/20 15:54:21 [DEBUG] <Recv> {"success":true}
2021/05/20 15:54:21 [DEBUG] <Connect> Connection established

but the Pi don't reboot or shut down ... no reaction
on dwc the same ... no reaction

@crazycreator Can you check if the command poweroff does work on your system in the first place?

Also please check execonmcode version (parameter -version). It looks to me as if you are using an older version.

Run sudo poweroff and check what that does.

pi@CCC:~ $ sudo /usr/local/bin/execonmcode -version
2021/05/20 16:20:43 0x24142bc
pi@CCC:~ $

That looks like a bug in previous version and it may be that DCS is rejecting this client. Please get the version 5.2.0 of execonmcode from GitHub and try again.

CrazyCreator

@wilriker I used 5.1 so that I could imitate the tutorial 100%. now I'm back on 5.2

sudo poweroff

At least this time you used -poweroff which most likely is not a valid command.

CrazyCreator

@wilriker
but in shutdownsbc.service is used and in the video tutorial too.

What should I write / use that instead?

What else can I try to get the script to work?

wilriker

@crazycreator Just remove the dash from the start of poweroff then it should work.

CrazyCreator

@wilriker
you mean so:

pi@CCC:~ $ sudo /usr/local/bin/execonmcode -mCode 7722 -command poweroff -debug -trace
2021/05/20 18:47:03 7722: poweroff

@wilriker
When I send M7722 in the DWC Console I get the familiar popup with the message:
M7722
Warning: M7722: Command is not supported

But the Raspberry does not switch off or restarts!

When I send the M7722 command in the DWC console, I see the following lines in the terminal:

2021/05/20 18:47:47 Connection to DCS closed
2021/05/20 18:47:47 [DEBUG] <Close> Closing connection
2021/05/20 18:47:47 EOF

@crazycreator One note that I've found is that when rebooting or powering off the SBC from a custom mCode, DCW will report "Command not supported" as the API immediately shuts down. See this thread:
