Re: Enable/Dissable a rule based on an external condition (internet on/off switch)

After a number of issues with the suggested syntax etc here is what I ended up creating. Please note I am using an EdgeRouter Lite with EdgeMax v1.9.0

1. I created a new "homeassistant" admin user on the EdgeRouter with SSH Keys for authentication (find the guides else where it is standard SSH keys on the homeassistant side and special steps for edgemax.

2. I created a script that takes some parameters on my Edge Router. The policy is ParentalControlRules and the rule I want to toggle is numbered 70 as per the "show firewall statistics" command.

/config/scripts/togglekidsinternet

#!/bin/vbash

retval=1

cmd=/opt/vyatta/bin/vyatta-op-cmd-wrapper
cfg=/opt/vyatta/sbin/vyatta-cfg-cmd-wrapper

if $cmd show firewall statistics | grep -q '^70.*\<disabled\>'
then

        if [ "$1" == "STATUS" ]; then
                echo "isDisabled"
                retval=1
        elif [ "$1" == "ENABLE" ]; then
                echo "Enable Rule"
                $cfg begin
                $cfg delete firewall name ParentalControlRules rule 70 disable
                echo "Commit"
                $cfg commit
                echo "Save"
                $cfg save
                $cfg end
                echo "isEnabled"
                retval=0
        fi

else

        if [ "$1" == "STATUS" ]; then
                echo "isEnabled"
                retval=0
        elif [ "$1" == "DISABLE" ]; then
                echo "Disable Rule"
                $cfg begin
                $cfg set firewall name ParentalControlRules rule 70 disable
                echo "Commit"
                $cfg commit
                echo "Save"
                $cfg save
                $cfg end
                echo "isDisabled"
                retval=1
        fi

fi

exit $retval

3. In home assistant I call the script via a command_line switch with the parameters STATUS, ENABLE or DISABLE

  platform: command_line
  switches:
    kids_internet_override:
      friendly_name: "Kids Internet Override"
      command_on: "ssh homeassistant@192.168.1.1 -q /config/scripts/togglekidsinternet ENABLE"
      command_off: "ssh homeassistant@192.168.1.1 -q /config/scripts/togglekidsinternet DISABLE"
      command_state: "ssh homeassistant@192.168.1.1 -q /config/scripts/togglekidsinternet STATUS"
