Setup SSH button commands to hyperion-remote server, examples how to setup and activate SSH

hello,

How do you know if the correct syntax is used in a command?

i get no return from Hyperion and log shows nothing wrong in syntax, but enable/disable command still doesn't work.

if i use the command hyperion-remote --off then it works fine. So command is recognized by Hyperion server.

never mind, its working but i was looking into the webserver:8090 to see if the command worked, but port 19444 and 8090 of hyperion are obviously not aware of change in settings so the other doesnt see changes.

anyway it works so now i can control Hyperion with SSH commands on app.

i wanted to disable the BLACKBORDER if watching movies without the black bords.

maybe this helps someone also finding out syntax in hyperion-remote with SSH commands

pi@HyperBian:~ $ hyperion-remote --instance "First LED Hardware instance" --disable "BLACKBORDER"

hyperion-remote:

I managed to use the SSH service ( port 22) from Raspi >> [you have to activate SSH first in config of Raspi,] to control Hyperion-remote trough button commands.

i used this option because without Home assistant ( way to much fuss) you can also easy control Hyperion with the android app:

Raspberry SSH

under here you see a screenshot which commands i use in Hyperion.

in short to set-up:

• Activate SSH in raspi-config
• Download Putty
• install putty or run it
• With this tool you can see if the syntax of your commands is okay, if not you see errors
• log in on your Raspi port 22
• type: hyperion-remote -h
• choose the commands you want and try them in terminal of Putty
• if they work ( i"ll show a example below) install Rasberry SSH or Raspberry SSH lite
• configure the buttons, green button in right top of screen means the SSH connection to the SSH Raspi server is made
• Try the button, Hyperion-remote server will reply with errors if syntax isn't correct.
• have fun!

This method with SSH is direct control.

you can control Hyperion as follow:

• the webserver:8090 port options, IP 192.168.xxx.xxx:8090 make a setting and save..
• The hyperion-remote server on SSH, port 19444, commands coming from SSH is NOT visible in the webserver environment , i found that out while configuring..

and probably more but i am not using that options.

TIP: i f you want to controll Instances with SSH commands, make sure they are activated in the webserver first!

SSH button syntax examples:

1. sudo hyperion-remote --instance "name of instance" --enable "BLACKBORDER"
2. sudo hyperion-remote --instance "name of instance" --disable "BLACKBORDER"
3. sudo hyperion-remote --on
4. sudo hyperion-remote --off
5. sudo hyperion-remote --brightness "1"
6. sudo hyperion-remote --brightness "100"
7. sudo hyperion-remote --instance "name of instance" --enable "LEDDEVICE"
8. sudo hyperion-remote --instance "name of instance" --disable "LEDDEVICE"
9. and so on..

can you change topic title into:

Setup SSH button commands to hyperion-remote server, examples how to setup and activate SSH

Quote from Lord-Grey

There is no need running the commands under root.
You can execute the commands without "sudo"

Thanks Lord-Grey for the topic change.

The sudo I will remove but I tested and that the rest of the syntax is okay 👍

this isn't completely true: you can see the changes of status but only in Dashboard, each instance has his sliders and they react to the SSH commands.

-blackborder

-capture device

-smoothing

etc you can see the slides go ON and OFF when giving a SSH/button command

except when you are changing a setting in a instance, you can't see the change in webserver.
