hc2-tools, implemented in go (golang) provides tools to, upload, download and interact with scene on Fibaro HC2 system.
The design goal of the tools where to be easily integrable into IDEs like Visual Studio Code (VSC) or others, to enable comfortable Fibaro Lua script development, testing and deployment. While there can be very different applications on how to use the tools, USAGE.md has examples on how the development workflow can be enhanced by using the hc2-tools.
It is in public beta; you are free to use it and improve it (do pull requests).
WARNING: THIS SOFTWARE CAN'T BE ERROR FREE, SO USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. DON'T USE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T MADE AN ACTUAL BACKUP COPY OF YOUR FIBARO HC2 SYSTEM. IF YOU DO NOT HOW TO DO THIS, PLEASE RECONSIDER TO USE THIS SOFTWARE ANYWAY. I HAVE DONE MY BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT THE TOOLS BEHAVE AS EXPECTED. BUT AGAIN ... USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. I AM NOT GIVING ANY KIND OF WARRANTY, NEITHER EXPLICITELY NOR IMPLICITELY.
You can download the binaries directly from the releases section. Unzip/untar the downloaded archive and copy the files to a location of your choice, e.g. /usr/local/bin/
on *NIX or MacOS. If you install only the binaries, make sure that they are accessible from the command line. Ideally, they are accessible via $PATH
or %PATH%
, respectively.
hc2-tools need access to your Fibaro HC2 system. You can configure and test your installation just by
hc2DownloadScene -u <fibaroHc2Login> -p <secretPassword> --url http://<ip.address.of.hc2> -i -t
This tests the connection to your Fibaro HC2 system and creates a config-file in ~/.hc2-tool/*
so that you do not have to reenter the information in subsequent to the hc2-tools calls.
Of course, you have to replace <fibaroHc2Login>
and <secretPassword>
with your credentials, and <ip.address.of.hc2>
with the IP or DNS of your Fibaro HC2 system.
To test the successfull configuration just use
hc2DownloadScene -t
which should get you the same result as above. All h2-tools use the same configuration file, so you don't have to configure the individually. Actually you could perfom this configuration steps, with any of the tools.
If you would like to learn about more about the technology in the background take a look at TECHNOLOGY.md.
hc2-tools requires golang version 1.13 or newer, the Makefile requires GNU make.
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. See deployment for notes on how to deploy the project on a live system.
There is no particular requirement beyong the fact that you should have a working go installation.
Install Go >=1.13
Download hc2-tools source by running
go get -u github.com/theovassiliou/hc2-tools
This gets you your copy of hc2-tools installed under
$GOPATH/src/github.com/theovassiliou/hc2-tools
Run make
from the source directory by running
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/theovassiliou/hc2-tools
make all
to compile and build the three executables
and run
make go-install
to install a copy of the executables into $GOPATH/bin
To test whether build integrates with your Fibaro system use
hc2DownloadScene -u <fibaroHc2Login> -p <secretPassword> --url http://<ip.address.of.hc2> -i -t

Now make your head-start by calling
hc2DownloadScene
which downloads all scripts on the Fibaro HC2 into the default created directory ./download/

Thanks to all the people out there that produce amazing open-source software, which supported the creation of this piece of software. In particular I wasn't only able to use libraries etc. But also, to learn and understand golang better. In particular I wanted to thank
- Jaime Pillora for jpillora/opts. Nice piece of work!
- InfluxData Team for influxdata/telegraf. Here I learned a lot for Makefile writing and release building in particular.
- Inspiration and motivation to develop this tool I got from the ZeroBrane Lua Development Environment.
- PurpleBooth for the well motivated README-template
This project has been developed as I was seeking for a way to upload scenes from my favorite development Lua development environment to the Fibaro HC2 system. Finally I came up with the idea to upload a scene whenever I do a git commit
. For this I needed a cmd line tool can be integrated as commithook
into the git repository.
With this I could solve two problems at a single time.
- Enforcing a version control system, e.g. git
- Automatically uploading the modified script
After implementing a first version, new ideas emerged, so for example retrieving debug messages where implemented.
