Start the client with an initial command?

Hey,

Thanks for this tool, which I've just discovered. What I want to achieve is running pan & tilt commands through SSH. I've successfully managed to run the server and the client, and the command to pan & tilt, using the client interface. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to start the client and run a command automatically, without manual user input. What I'd like to do is something like eufy-security-client 'device.pan_and_tilt DEVICE_SN 0', so that it starts client and directly run said command, then exits. Is it something I can do with this tool?

Thanks! ✌️

Hi @AnthoPakPak,

at the moment this is not possible. Until now, this tool was only intended for interactive testing of the commands.

Marked as feature request.

This feature was implemented in the next release.

Hey mate!

Thanks for implementing this! 🎉

I've just updated to try it out. I've faced some issues 😕 I tried out some commands, like this one eufy-security-client -c device.set_motion_detection SERIAL_NUMBER true or eufy-security-client -c device.pan_and_tilt SERIAL_NUMBER 1, but whichever command always returned the help message (like this one). Which is weird because from what I see, the error should only be thrown when using an incorrect amount of params. And I think I use the correct amount 🤔

Am I doing anything wrong? Any advices? :)

Hey @bropat, not sure if you've seen my edit so here's just a heads up comment. Am I misusing the command? Could you maybe provide some example command please? :)

There was an error parsing the values of the properties. This has been fixed in version 1.0.0. The above examples of commands are correct.

Sorry mate but I don't get it. I've just tried every possible combinations and still get the same error message...

For example, this command eufy-security-client -c device.pan_and_tilt SERIAL_NUMBER 1 leads to this message device.pan_and_tilt <device_sn> <direction>.

I've triple checked that the tool has been correctly updated:

• eufy-security-ws is 1.0.0
• eufy-security-client is 2.2.0

Is it working on your side?

[bropat]

Tomorrow I'll check your example and let you know.

In your example, one option (-a for the arguments) is missing.

Correct example:

eufy-security-client -c device.pan_and_tilt -a SERIAL_NUMBER 1

or

eufy-security-client --command device.pan_and_tilt --arguments SERIAL_NUMBER 1

Oooh crap I didn't noticed that... 🤦‍♂️

Thanks a lot, everything works well now. I've just implemented the changes in my scripts and they're so smooth now! Awesome! 🎉
