thanks already for your script implementation.
Where do you run this bash script ?
On Home Assistant itself or another Linux PC/Pi ?
I can run the script for ex. under my /config/shell/ folder where I put the .sh file. (triggered by a HA script)
mosquitto_pub can be run from HA shell.
But where do you put the binaries then of plctool ?
- How do I ciompile these to binary from source on the HA host ? (I currently only have windows EXE binaries op openplc tools)
- Where to put these on the HA host.?
I run HA (OS) on a ESXi host.
If I type which mosquitto_pub then it says /usr/bin/mosquitto_pub
But I think /usr/bin is readonly and overwritten each time HA is updated.
I can put it in the /config/ branch which is custom and won’t be overwritten.
Or do we have to make a seperate docker to store these open-plc-utils ?
edit: I’ve found a solution already myself.
I’ve found windows and Linux 64bit binary files on: https://docs.insys-icom.de/pages/en_pl_config_slac.html
this contains “plctool”
I copied the Linux 64 bit binaries to a directory on my HA confg : /config/shell/
I mades these files executable with chmod 755
if I go into HA shell and now try:
shell: ./plctool -I -i enp2s1 18:A6:F7:57:B6:AA

using the -m parameter I can show the network info viewed from the specifiek source MAC adress/PLC.
for ex/

here is also TX and RX visible ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.home-assistant.io/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=10)
So now I can adapt your bash script for use with “plctool” instead of “plcstat_output” since the last one is not contained in the download package above.
thx again for your script, this will help me a lot for the bash script to process all regexped info and publish it with mqtt ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.home-assistant.io/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=10)
