WR1043ND - Fine setup of QSS led as WIFI state led

[varma]

Hi everybody,

I setup my router to on-off the wireless LAN using crontab and using the QSS button.
I have a table that swithces off the wlan during the night at certains hours and turns it on in the morning, the evening and in weekends.
When I need wifi in other times I use the switch.
I would like that when the router boots the QSS led turns on only if the previous condition of wifi is ON.
Otherwise could be enough to force the wifi_on (or wifi_off) script at boot to condition the QSS led to the real state of wifi.
Both ways are good, but I dunno how to make them.

I'm using 1.5.6 Gargoyle

Theese are my scripts:

wifi_on, wifi_off, wifionoff are executables

Thank you very much

I hope somebody will like this configuration

I inserted in rc.local this few lines

Code: Select all

SW=$(uci -q get wireless.@wifi-device[0].disabled)

if [ "$SW" == "0" ] ; then
echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/tl-wr1043nd\:green\:qss/brightness
else
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/tl-wr1043nd\:green\:qss/brightness
echo timer > /sys/class/leds/tl-wr1043nd\:green\:qss/trigger
echo 3000 > /sys/class/leds/tl-wr1043nd\:green\:qss/delay_off
echo 2000 > /sys/class/leds/tl-wr1043nd\:green\:qss/delay_on
fi

I will let you know if this works

I am currently coding scheduled wifi service for addition to Gargoyle. The interface on a naked html page is done, but the backend work isn't finished. This is the idea:

weeklyTimer-S.png (21.22 KiB) Viewed 4924 times

I see in your crontab wifi goes off @ 0100, 0300, 0500 & 1000. My interface wouldn't allow that - there would have to be an accompanying on period between 0100-0300, between 0300-0500 & between 0500-1000. Is there some reason why you are explicitly taking wifi down at those hours instead of just:

Code: Select all

0 1 * * 1,2,3,4,5 /sbin/wifi_off

Also instead of 1,2,3,4,5, you could write 1-5

Of course I decided the policy to shutdown three times in the night.
Sometimes I watch movies via wireless in late night or I spend the night surfing the web.
Usually I get bed before 0100.
Sometimes I get over 0100 but my laziness doesnt allow me to exit my room to reach the router (10 meters walking in the night....too hard!)
So the routers shuts down the wifi for extra conditions at 0300 and 0500.

I didnt follow enough your setup (english is not my first language) but for sure I'm going to read it later!
It looks well, GUIs for windows users are always a good way to feel comfortable

Hope to see it as a plugin for the new versions!

Thank you for helping me to understand.

I will look into adding forced events like you have once everything is done.

and us lazy Mac people love GUI goodness too.
