ESPEasy tools

This is a set of simple but powerful command line tools for scripting updates, and for backup and restore of configuration settings and ESPeasy rule files

Security

Some warnings apply:

  • Be careful not to use these tools in a multiuser environment. The ESPEasy device password may display with something like ps f -ef while commands are in progress.
  • Protect your $HOME/.espeasy credential files as well as your home directory from access for other users.
  • Make sure you have physical access / can powercycle your ESPEasy devices. In rare cases a power cycle is needed for updates to work, or if a formware upload does not complete

Installation and setup

Prereqs

You will need:

  • A bash shell environment (Linux, MacOS, WSL does not really matter)
  • curl, jq and gzip must be available
  • A working mail command is needed if you want backups sent somewhere else by email

Copy scripts

The espeasy* scripts will normally be copied somewhere in your $PATH, for example:

cd tools
chmod a+rx espeasy*
cp -v espeasy* /usr/local/bin/ # you may need sudo command in front

Credentials

You will normally set up a $HOME/.espeasy file as follows for the ESPEasy password. This is not needed if the CURLARGS variable is set up in your shell environment from somewhere else. In that case, create an empty file.

#
# espeasy logins
#
CURLFLAGS=""
CURLARGS=${CURLARGS:-"$CURLFLAGS -u admin:password"} # change password to yours

Then make sure this file is readable by your user only (chmod 600 $HOME/.espeasy)

This assumes that the same ESPEasy passwords apply on all devices, but you can also do something like env CURLARGS="-u admin:otherpasswd" espeasy.... if some devices need another password.

Backup / restore

Single device

ESP device backup for a single device can be done to your current directory as follows:

$ espeasybackup 192.168.202.62
PROG: Backup list has 1 nodes: 192.168.202.62

espeasybackup: Backup 192.168.202.62 esp.css --> 20240827-205701-MitsubishiIR-12-esp.css ... OK

... and restored as follows:

$ rm *.css # sometimes causes problems
$ espeasyconfig 192.168.202.62 20240827-205701-MitsubishiIR-12*

The restore destination must be same ESP device type

Multiple devices

If you add the -a option, the peer device list will be used to find your ESP devices, and also add any well known ESP MAC addresses found in the local arp table (arp -a)

$ espeasybackup -a  192.168.202.62

cron jobs for backup

You may want to back up your ESP devices regularly to a remote place. This is a way to find all ESP devices from the peer list of some og them (-a option), compress into a .tar.gz file (-Z option), and email that to a mail account (when MAILTO defined in the environment):

20 06 * * 6  env MAILTO=admin@mydomain.net /usr/local/bin/espeasybackup -a -Z 192.168.202.52 192.168.202.62 192.168.202.64 > /tmp/espeasybackup.log 2>&1

New firmware deployment

To upload new firmware, you specify a firmware file and as many IP addresses / hostnames that you want to update with that same hardware

$ espeasyupdate  -f ESP_Easy_mega_20240826_IR_ESP32c3_4M316k_LittleFS_CDC.bin 192.168.202.242
espeasyupdate: Updating 192.168.202.242 ...
espeasyupdate: 192.168.202.242 already has 'Custom IR for AC - 20240822-1'
espeasyupdate: Firmware on file (ESP_Easy_mega_IR_ESP32c3_4M316k_LittleFS_CDC) different from device (ESP_Easy_mega_public_IR_ESP32c3_4M316k_LittleFS_CDC). Use -f to force update.
<META http-equiv="refresh" content="15;URL=/">Update Success! Rebooting...

The -f option is needed if you want to switch from one firmware file to another, or repeat installing a git build already deployed.

These facts are tested from the ESPEasy device as follows:

# IP is hostname or IP address
curl -s "http://${IP}/json"| jq -r '.System."Git Build"'        # normally skipped if already deployed
curl -s "http://${IP}/json"| jq -r '.System."Binary Filename"'  # normally skipped if binary file is different
