FHEM on the Fritz!Box

(as of 2009-10-19)

Description for the Fritzbox 7170 from Achim

Flash the FritzBox with the Freetz firmware using the Fritzbox web-frontend. As we are not allowed to offer a FritzBox binary image for download, here is a mini HOWTO:
- Download http://trac.freetz.org/downloads/freetz-1.0.3.tar.bz2
- Bunzip2 and untar the package
- Copy dotconfig into the untarred directory as .config
- Call make
Copy the tgz packages apache (1MB), fhem (1MB) and perl (10MB) to the USB stick and attach it to the box.
Restart the box and connect to the box using telnet, e.g. with
```
        telnet 192.168.178.1
```
Untar the packages into a new directory on the USB stick, e.g.
```
      cd /var/media/ftp/uStor01/
      mkdir fritzext
      cd fritzext
      tar -xvzf ../fhem-4.6.tgz
      tar -xvzf ../perl-5.6.2.tgz
      tar -xvzf ../apache-1.3.41.tgz
```
For the following ascii file modifications the editor nano can be used which is contained in the Freetz firmware.

Adapt /var/flash/debug.cfg, and change the path to fhem:

      /var/flash # more debug.cfg
      export dTSB=1212687845
      /bin/sleep 120
      cd /var/media/ftp/uStor01/fritzext/fhem-4.5 && ./rc.fhem

Adapt fhem/rc.fhem, and change the path to perl, fhem, apache:

      #!/bin/sh
      # "RC" script for a fhem running on the Fritz!Box from
      # an attached usb-stick.

      cd /var
      ln -s /var/media/ftp/uStor01/fritzext/perl .
      ln -s /var/media/ftp/uStor01/fritzext/apache-1.3.41 .
      ln -s /var/media/ftp/uStor01/fritzext/fhem  .

      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/perl/lib
      export PATH=/var/perl/bin:$PATH
      export PERL5LIB=/var/perl/lib/:/var/perl/perl5/:/var/perl/lib/perl5/5.6.2/

      mount -o remount,rw /var/media/ftp/uStor01

      swapon /var/perl/swapfile

      # For CUL:
      insmod /lib/modules/2.6.13.1-ohio/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/usbserial.ko
      vendor=0x03eb product=0x204b

      # For FHZ:
      insmod /lib/modules/2.6.13.1-ohio/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/ftdi_sio.ko

      cd /var/media/ftp/uStor01/fritzext/fhem
      perl fhem.pl fhem.cfg
      cd /var/
      apache-1.3.41/apache apache-1.3.41/conf/apache.conf

Adapt your fhem.cfg. CUL can be used on /dev/ttyUSB0.
Restart the box

Unpack fhem45-on-fritzbox.tgz to the USB-Stick.
Attach the USB storage (stick) to the Fritz!Box. The Fritz!Box should recognize it. Now we have to modify usr/fhem/rc.fhem.
Login (via telnet) to the Fritz!Box with the WEB-Password
```
    telnet fritz.box
```
Change to the folder /var/media/ftp/*partition*/usr/fhem
Edit rc-cp.fhem with nvi
(i starts editing, ESC leaves edit mode, X deletes a character, :q! quits nvi without change, ; :wq saves and quits nvi)
and adapt the mount point. This is often MassStorageDevice-Partition-0-1. This script will generate some links, makes a copy of .../usr/fhem to /var/usr/ and starts "perl fhem-celica.pl fhem.volker.conf" in the background.
Run ./rc-cp.fhem in the directory usr/fhem
Note:After rebooting the Fritz!Box you will have run this script again.
