pimote

Control Energinie Switches from a Raspberry Pi

This module is based on node-energenie-pimote but it is structured as a class. Also the pins are set up and dropped each time. The original module has the problem that it stops working if the cli version is used while a long-term program is running.

Installation

For the pimote CLI

npm install -g pimote

For use as a module

npm install pimote

Command Line Interface [CLI]

Pairing a socket

1. Press and hold the button on the socket until the light begins to flash quickly
2. Run pimote pair N where N is the device number 1 to 4.

Switching on or off a socket

• To switch on a socket run pimote on N where N is 1 to 4.
• To switch off a socket run pimote off N where N is 1 to 4.

Switching on or off all sockets

• To switch on all four sockets, run pimote on
• To switch off all four sockets, run pimote off
