PROGRAM:

NAME


uhome - tests whether or not you're home, based on device presence

SYNOPSIS


uhome [-f|--file FILE] [-q|--quiet] [-t|--tries TRIES]

OPTIONS


-f, --file FILE filename containing list of IP addresses to test, one per line,
default is ~/.uhome/addresses

-q, --quiet Suppress all output

-t, --tries TRIES Number of times to ping each IP address, default is 3

DESCRIPTION


This utility will iterate over a list of IP addresses in FILE (default
~/.uhome/addresses), and ping(8) each one of them up to TRIES times. If any one of those
responds successfully, then you're deemed "home" and uhome exits successfully, with 0.
Otherwise, you must not be home, and uhome exits with 1.

EXAMPLES


Look up your phone's IP address, either on your router, or in your Phone -> Settings ->
About Phone -> Status -> IP Address.

Add one or more of these to ~/.uhome/addresses.

Run:

$ uhome

uhome → Yep!

$ uhome

uhome → Nope!

Couple this with some logic:

$ uhome && nest-home || nest-away

Put this in a cronjob:

*/5 * * * * uhome && nest-home || nest-away
