Network Switch Control with SSH - jamesng - 17.06.2024

I'd like to SSH into our Unifi Switches to run a 1 line command to turn on/off a POE connected device.

While a POE reboot is is possible with the Unifi API, switching a port off for an extenede period of time is not - so SSH seems like a simple solution. This is the command that need to be executed

Code:
ssh admin@192.168.1.100

<enter password as prompted>

swctrl poe set off id 45

How does one SSH to the switch at 192.168.1.100 from a lua script?

If it helps, one can connect to the Unifi switch with a SSH key instead of a password.

Many thanks in advance

Kind Regards
James

Thanks for pointing me at that thread - I generated a key and using io.readproc(run) am now able to send SSH commands to the Unifi switch to control the POE ports.

Kind Regards
