uhppote-cli

CLI for the UHPPOTE UT0311-L0x TCP/IP Wiegand access control boards.

Supported operating systems:

Linux
MacOS
Windows
Raspberry Pi (ARM7)

Raison d'être

The CLI provides a cross-platform set of command-line functions that allow direct interaction with a UHPPOTE access controller, as well as facilitating scripting for automation of routine tasks e.g. synchronizing controller system time across daylight savings changes.

Release Notes

Current Release

** v0.8.9 - 2024-09-06**

Added TCP/IP support.
Changed default controller timezone from UTC to Local.
Updated to Go 1.23.

Installation

An archive containing executables for all the supported operating systems can be downloaded from the releases page. Alternatively, operating system specific tarballs can be found in the uhppoted releases.

Installation is straightforward - download the archive and extract it to a directory of your choice and place the executable in a directory in your PATH.

`uhppoted.conf`

By default, uhppote-cli uses the communal uhppoted.conf configuration file shared by all the uhppoted project modules which is (or will eventually be) documented in uhppoted.

A valid configuration file is required only for system configurations where controllers are not findable on the local LAN (i.e. cannot receive and reply to UDP broadcasts) or for use with the ACL commands which do require a valid uhppoted.conf to resolve the door ID to controller + door number. For device commands the configuration file will used if present otherwise the internal default configuration will be used.

An alternative configuration file can be specified with the --config command line option, e.g.:

uhppote-cli --config ./uhppote.mine get-device 4726234734

A sample uhppoted.conf file is included in the uhppoted distribution.

Building from source

Assuming you have Go and make installed:

git clone https://github.com/uhppoted/uhppote-cli.git
cd uhppote-cli
make build

If you prefer not to use make:

git clone https://github.com/uhppoted/uhppote-cli.git
cd uhppote-cli
mkdir bin
go build -trimpath -o bin ./...

The above commands build the uhppote-cli executable to the bin directory.

card number
start date date from which the card is active
end date date after which the card is inactive
door1 Y,N or associated time profile for door 1
door2 Y,N or associated time profile for door 2
door3 Y,N or associated time profile for door 3
door4 Y,N or associated time profile for door 4
PIN keypad PIN value

uhppote-cli [options] put-card <device ID> <card number> <start> <end> <doors> [--card-format <any|wiegand-26>]

  <device ID>   (required) Controller serial number (or name)
  <card number> (required) Access card number
  <start>       (required) Start date from which the card is enabled, formatted as YYYY-mm-dd
  <end>         (required) End dates after which the card is no longer enabled, formatted as YYYY-mm-dd
  <doors>       (optional) Comma separated list of doors for which the card grants access. Time profiled access for a door can be specified as door:profile.
  <PIN>         (optional) keypad PIN code in the range 0 to 999999 (0 is 'none'). Defaults to 0 is not provided.
  --card-format <format> (optional) optionally enables card format validation (either any or Wiegand-26). Defaults to the
                         `card.format` setting in _uhppoted.conf_ (or _none_).

  Options: 
  --config      Sets the uhppoted.conf file to use for controller configurations
  --bind        Overrides the default (or configured) bind IP address for a command
  --broadcast   Overrides the default (or configured) broadcast IP address to which to send a command

  Example:

  uhppote-cli put-card 405419896 8165538 2023-01-01 2023-12-31 1,3,4:29 7531
  405419896 8165538 true

  uhppote-cli put-card  --card-format wiegand-26 405419896 1058400 2023-01-01 2023-12-31 1,3,4:29 7531
  405419896 10058400 true

NOTES

For a door associated with a time profile, uhppote-cli requires the time profile to be an existing time profile defined in the controller. The controller itself does not enforce this requirement but linking to a non-existent time profile counter-intuitively seems to allow access at any time of day.

  --timeout     Sets the timeout for a response from a controller (default value is 2.5s)
  --debug       Displays verbose debugging information, in particular the communications with the UHPPOTE controllers

  Example:

  405419896: time profile 29 created

NOTES

uhppote-cli requires the linked profile to be an existing time profile defined in the controller. The controller itself does not enforce this requirement but linking to a non-existent time profile counter-intuitively seems to allow access at any time of day.
uhppote-cli does not allow a time profile to define a link that creates a circular chain of time profiles. Again, the controller itself does not enforce this requirement but is indicative of a mistake in the definition of the time profiles.

`clear-time-profiles`

Deletes all time profiles from a controller.

uhppote-cli [options] clear-time-profiles <device ID>

  Example:

  uhppote-cli clear-time-profiles 405419896
  405419896 true

NOTES

Clearing all time profiles will allow access at any time of day to cards that were previously time managed. In general this command is intended to be used when redefining all the time profiles.

`get-time-profiles`

Retrieves all time profiles from a controller, optionally storing them in a TSV file.

uhppote-cli [options] get-time-profiles <device ID> <TSV>

  <device ID>   (required) Controller serial number (or name)

   ... set time profile 105
   ... set time profile 2

   WARN  profile 51  - linked time profile 50 is not defined
   WARN  profile 75  - linking to time profile 75 creates a circular reference [75 75]
   WARN  profile 150 - 'To' date (2021-04-01) is before 'From' date (2021-12-31)
   WARN  profile 151 - segment 1 'End' (09:31) is before 'Start' (11:31)

NOTES

set-time-profiles does not clear existing time profiles from the controller i.e. although not recommended, profiles in the file can link to individually defined existing profiles.
There is no requirement for the profiles to be in any particular order e.g. uhppote-cli is capable of creating a time profile that is linked to a profile that is defined after it in the TSV file.

  > uhppote-cli get-event-index 405419896
    405419896  24

`set-event-index`

Sets the current event index on a controller. The event index is a convenient user value that is typically used to store the ID of the most recently retrieved event. It is not automatically managed by the controller.

uhppote-cli [options] set-event-index <device ID> <index>

  <device ID>   (required) Controller serial number (or name)
  <index>       (required) ID of event to set as the event index.

`set-pc-control`

Enables or disables remote host access control.

If remote host access control is enabled, the access controller expects the host to communicate at least once every 30 seconds otherwise it reverts to local control of access using the stored list of cards (the communication is not required to be a 'set-pc-control' command - any command is sufficient). If the access controller has reverted to local control because no message has been received from the host for more than 30 seconds, any subsequent communication from the remote host will re-establish remote control mode again.

uhppote-cli [options] set-pc-control <device ID> <enable>

  <device ID>   (required) Controller serial number (or name)
  <enable>      (optional) Enables remote access control if `true`, disables it otherwise. Defaults to `true`.

3&4	Door 3 can be opened if door 4 is closed and vice versa
1&2,3&4	Door 1 can be opened if door 2 is closed and vice versa, Door 3 can be opened if door 4 is closed and vice versa
1&2&3	Door 1 can be opened if 2 and 3 are both closed, door 2 if 1 and 3 are closed and door 3 if 1 and 2 are closed
1&2&3&4	A door can only be opened if all the other doors are closed

                  - 1&2&3&4

                  Because the ampersand (&) is a special character the interlock needs to be enclosed in quotes
                  e.g. uhppote-cli set-interlock 405419896 '1&2,3&4'

ACL commands

The ACL (access control list) commands manage access permissions across the set of UHPPOTE controllers configured in the conf file. The following commands are supported:

grant
revoke
show
load-acl
get-acl
compare-acl

ACL file format

The only currently supported ACL file format is TSV (tab separated values) and is expected to be formatted as follows:

Card Number From  To  Workshop  Side Door Front Door  Garage  Upstairs  Downstairs  Tower Cellar
123465537 2020-01-01  2020-12-31  N N Y N Y N Y Y
231465538 2020-01-01  2020-12-31  Y N Y N N 29 N N
635465539 2020-01-01  2020-12-31  N N N N Y N Y Y

Field	Description
`Card Number`	Access card number
`From`	Date from which card is valid (valid from 00:00 on that date)
`To`	Date until which card is valid (valid until 23:59 on that date)
`<door>`	Door name matching controller configuration (case and space insensitive)
`<door>`	...
...

The ACL file must include a column for each controller + door configured in the devices section of the uhppoted.conf file used to configure the utility. Permissions for a door can be:

Y
N
time profile ID (e.g. 29)

An example ACL file is included in the full uhppoted distribution, along with the matching conf file.

`grant`

Grants access permissions to a single card across the set of configured UHPPOTE controllers. The grant command extends the functionality of the device put-card command to set the access permissions across multiple controllers using door names rather than the device specific controller + door ID's. The granted permissions are added to the existing card access permissions.

NOTE: The date range during which a card has access is automatically widened to accommodate the earliest from date and latest to date across the controllers.

uhppote-cli [options] grant <card> <from> <to> [doors]

  <card>        Card number to be granted access
  <from>        Date from which the card is granted access, in yyyy-mm-dd format. Access is 
                granted from 00:00 on the 'from' date.
  <to>          Date until which the card is granted access, , in yyyy-mm-dd format. Access
                is granted until 23:59 on the 'to' date.

`revoke`

Revokes access permissions for a single card across the set of configured UHPPOTE controllers. The revoke command extends the functionality of the device put-card command to revoke the access permissions across multiple controllers using door names rather than the device specific controller + door ID's. The revoked permissions are removed from the existing card access permissions.

  uhppote-cli [options] revoke <card> [doors]

  <card>        Card number to be granted access
