[solved] hyperion-remote: How to get LED status

humdinger · 23. Juli 2022

Hi there!

I'm using a small script to toggle my LEDs via hyperion-remote --enable|disable LEDDEVICE.

It would be very useful and simplify things if there were a means to get at the current status of the LEDs. But it appears there isn't, or am I missing something.

Should I open a feature request to add a --status [SMOOTHING, BLACKBORDER, FORWARDER, BOBLIGHTSERVER, GRABBER, V4L, LEDDEVICE] parameter to hyperion-remote? It could return "0" for "Off", "1" for "On", and "-1" for "Error".

Thanks!

hyperion-remote -l, --list

List server info and active effects with priority and duration

Code

    "cec": {
        "enabled": false
    },
    "components": [
        {
            "enabled": true,
            "name": "ALL"
        },
        {
            "enabled": false,
            "name": "SMOOTHING"
        },
        {
            "enabled": true,
            "name": "BLACKBORDER"
        },
        {
            "enabled": false,
            "name": "FORWARDER"
        },
        {
            "enabled": false,
            "name": "BOBLIGHTSERVER"
        },
        {
            "enabled": false,
            "name": "GRABBER"
        },
        {
            "enabled": true,
            "name": "V4L"
        },
        {
            "enabled": true,
            "name": "LEDDEVICE"
        }

Example:

Code: LEDDEVICE true/false

> hyperion-remote -l |grep LEDDEVICE -B 1
            "enabled": true,
            "name": "LEDDEVICE"

Code

> hyperion-remote -l |grep LEDDEVICE -B 1 |grep enabled
            "enabled": true,

Code

> hyperion-remote -l |grep LEDDEVICE -B 1 |grep true | cut -d: -f2 |cut -d, -f1
 true

Code

> LEDDEVICE=$(hyperion-remote -l |grep LEDDEVICE -B 1 |grep true | cut -d: -f2 |cut -d, -f1)
> if [ $LEDDEVICE = 'true' ]; then echo "LED on"; else echo "LED off"; fi
LED on

> LEDDEVICE=$(hyperion-remote -l |grep LEDDEVICE -B 1 |grep true | cut -d: -f2 |cut -d, -f1); if [ $LEDDEVICE = 'true' ]; then echo "LED on"; else echo "LED off"; fi
LED on

Code: Flatbuffers Server

> FLATBUFSERVER=$(hyperion-remote -l |grep FLATBUFSERVER -B 1 |grep true | cut -d: -f2 |cut -d, -f1); if [ $FLATBUFSERVER = 'true' ]; then echo "FLatbuffers Server on"; else echo "Flatbuffers Server off"; fi
FLatbuffers Server on

Thanks pclin, that works!

If anyone is interested, I use this to toggle the LEDs. I use this bash script:

Bash

#!/bin/bash
# Toggle state of hyperion LEDs


LED=$(~/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote -l | grep LEDDEVICE -B 1 | grep true | cut -d: -f2 | cut -d, -f1)


if [ $LED = 'true' ] ; then
    ~/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote --disable LEDDEVICE
    echo Turning LEDs OFF!
else
    ~/hyperion/bin/hyperion-remote --enable LEDDEVICE
    echo Turning LEDs ON!
fi

I can invoke this with my phone using e.g. the app RasPi Check.

I also created a submenu (Amber skin) to invoke: System.Exec(/storage/.hyperion/blinkenlights_toggle.sh).

Paths need to be adjusted, of course.
