[PLUGIN] SUS (SysLog UDP Sender)

Post by kamsvag »

I've got what I believe might be a fully functional syslog client for Telldus but I don't know how to test it.
I've formated the entire thing in the same way as the Pushover plugin and ziped the entire thing.
When I upload the plugin to my Tellstick it just keep loading and I get no hint of what's wrong.

In the zip file provided in the link below you'll also find a lua script that you need to add to get the plugin to work.

Anyone who knows where I'm failing?

and the Lua scripts seem to disappear for a while after I've tried to upload my package "manual upload"...

I would guess the Tellstick is occupied unzipping the package or something but knowing there is linux under the hood I guess it might prefer a tar ball or something. :/

No One who knows how the plugin should be packed for uploading?

I wanna wrap this plugin up so I can move on to the next challange and write a plugin to control IKEA Trådfri from within the Telldus Interface.

Ok, so I've got a little bit further now.

When I try to build my plugin i get the following response.

Here's a link to a folder on google Drive where the code is.
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1Fae ... DFqUHhqSUE

The 'SUS - LUA all devices.lua' is a complimentary LUA-script that utilize the SUS-plugin to send devicestatus updates.

This plugin is untested and so is the LUA-script. I haven't figured out how to deploy the plugin yet for testing.

The plugin is now compiled and I realy do thank the support staff at Telldus for all the excellent support they have provided setting up my development environment.
After my public GPG key has been deployed I'll be beta testing the plugin for a couple of days.

Ok, so there's a delay. I lost access to the local API and the device shows as offline on telldus Live, however I can ping the device and it responds to SSH.

I hope to get this resolved on tuesday as monday is a holliday. Telldus support has been nothing but excellent as they've helped me setup my computer for developing plugins for the Tellstick.

Cheers!

My event sender plugin for the Tellstick finaly works in Beta version.
Right now it's compiled with static IP address and Port number for the listener but once it's out of beta it will have configurable peer IP and Port number.

Configuration now works as well. I'll look into if Telldus wants to put the plugin available for anyone to use now that it works in every aspect as it was intended.

The plugin has now been submit to Telldus for them to make public.

Below is a LUA script that on device status change sends a message to the plugin. The message contains the name and status of the device.
I can't take full credit for the script since I'm not strong at LUA. I found a script earlier which I've modified to my needs.

Code: Select all

function onInit()
	local sus = require 'sus.Client'
	if sus == nil then
		print("Initcheck: SUS plugin is not installed")
		return
	else
		print("Initcheck: SUS plugin is loaded")
		sus:send{msg='Telldus LUA SUS is loaded'}
	end
	return
end

function onDeviceStateChanged(device, state, stateValue)
	local sus = require 'sus.Client'
	if state == 1 then
		status = "ON"
	elseif state == 2 then
		status = "OFF"
	end
	report = device:name() .. " " .. status
	print("Report: " .. report)
	local ret = sus:send{msg="SUS " .. report}
end
