Initial Commit of creating a homekit switch to toggle rules in pfsense

The script will toggle the disabled flag for any rule with a description beginning with a specified term. Script will also provide a state

Usage:

• ./toggle_rule enable
• ./toggle_rule disable
• ./toggle_rule state

Prerequisites

1. Pfsense needs to have a working instance of FauxAPI https://github.com/ndejong/pfsense_fauxapi

2. Need to have a working instance of homebridge running

3. Install the cmdswitch2 plugin https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-cmdswitch2

Installation Directions

1. Create a folder to house the scripts

2. Download the toggle_rule script into the folder

3. Download the FauxAPI python library https://github.com/ndejong/pfsense_fauxapi_client_python

4. Place the following files at the root of the folder (very important)

• __version__.py
• PfsenseFauxapi.py

Also, modify PfsenseFauxapi.py line 24:

Old: from .version import version

New: from version import version

5. chmod +x toggle_rule

6. In your config.json file:

   {
   "platform":"cmdSwitch2",
   "name":"CMD Switch",
   "switches":[{
           "name":"Kids Internet",
           "on_cmd":"/home/folder/toggle_rule enable",
           "off_cmd":"/home/folder/toggle_rule disable",
           "state_cmd":"/home/folder/toggle_rule state 2>&1 /dev/null; script_output=$? ; echo $script_output | grep 1"
           }]
   }
   

The state_cmd needs to be written exactly (with exception to the folder path). Basically, the state_cmd only looks to see if the switch is on. Toggle_rule will report an exit value of 1 if that's the case. I had to perform some extra steps to report back a 1 for the plugin

7. Modify toggle_rule:

    api_hostname = "pfsense_host"
    api_key = "fauxapi_key"
    api_secret = "fauxpai_secret"
    rule_prefix = "TEST"
