Livebox 3/4 control command line tool 1.5.3

Presentation

Allow to easily control Livebox 3/4 (internet box from Orange ISP) by CLI, easing home automation tasks.

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies (composer install, see composer if you need more details)
3. run php livebox/bin/livebox

Authentication

Some commands require authentication, some not. An authentication file in yaml must be provided :

configuration:
  # Optional: specify Livebox local DNS name or IP. Default to 192.168.1.1
  host: 192.168.1.1
  # Optional: specify user to use for connection
  user: admin

  password: pass

This authentication file can be passed by 2 different ways :

1. Just make a xxx.yml that would lie with the livebox tool. It will be automatically handled. Note: For this option, commands will be shorter (such as livebox wifi:switch on instead of livebox wifi:switch on --file=/path/to/yaml.yml) but in this very case you shouldn't put those 2 files in /usr/bin/, because this is not the configuration file place.
2. Make your YAML config file and explicitly pass it to commands.

Commands

As every Console component-based application, you can have detailled command list by doing livebox list Note: as stated above, all commands below take one --file option to pass a configuration file path
