Just a small script to implement a countdown timer on a Meross smart plug.
As an example of usage, I use it to turn off the filter of my aquarium so I have time to feed the fishes. Then the filter is automatically pushed back on at the end of the count.
Clone the repository. Edit variables in the docker compose file to add your Meross config.
Environment variable configuration:
| Name | Comment |
|---|---|
| MEROSS_DEVICE | Name of the device on Meross App. E.g: my_plug |
| MEROSS_CHANNEL | Channel number on the smart plug. E.g: 4 |
| MEROSS_EMAIL | Email of the Meross account |
| MEROSS_PASSWORD | Password of the Meross account |
Example:
environment:
FLASK_DEBUG: "1"
MEROSS_DEVICE: "Aquarium"
MEROSS_CHANNEL: "3"
MEROSS_EMAIL: "[email protected]"
MEROSS_PASSWORD: 'my_secret_password'Run docker compose
docker-compose up -d
Example of call
curl -i -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"interval":"10s"}' http:https://127.0.0.1:5000/countdown
The interval is composed by an integer followed by a letter "s" or "m" or "h" or "d" for second, minute, hour or day.
Example of updateInterval:
- 1d: stop the counter after 1 day
- 4h: stop the counter after 4 hours
- 30m: stop the counter after 30 minutes
- 10s: stop the counter after 10 seconds
Copy the service file. (Edit path in the script if needed)
cp countdown.service /etc/systemd/system/countdown.service
Enable and start
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable countdown
systemctl start countdown
