Telnet interface

If you want to pass commands to Misterhouse over a remote interface, you can do so by enabling the Telnet interface.

Note: be aware that Telnet is a non-secure channel so be aware of the security implications if you decide to activate this interface.

By default MisterHouse will start a listening socket on port 1234.

In order to be able to actually use this socket, enable the telnet.pl code under 'common code'.

Once this is done and you make a Telnet connection, you will see a prompt that looks like this:

mh>

Depending on your security settings you may first need to authenticate using

mh> login

Now you can enter commands as you defined them in your code.
