 # FBSmartHome
 
-**fbsh-cli** - FritzBox SmartHome Console Client
+A small collection of usefull FritzBox SmartHome tools and scripts. Still in development and highly experimental.
+
+## fb-login-test.sh
+
+A simple script to test the user name and passwort set in file `~/.fbsh.config`. If the login was successfull an XML file with connected SmartHome devices will be printed out. 
+
+The config file for both script and client use the same syntax.
+
+	#
+	# PARAMETERNAME=VALUE  no space allowed except for the value.
+	#                      but not between parametername, = and value.
+	#
+	#
+	FBSH_USER=testuser
+	FBSH_PASS=anypassword
+	FBSH_SIDFILE=/home/username/.fbsh.sid
+	FBSH_HOSTNAME=http://192.168.0.1
+
+
+## fbsh-cli FritzBox SmartHome Console Client
+
+### Compilation
+
+On debian you need the libxml2 and openssl devel pakages for compilation. If you have a debian based distribution you can install them with:
+
+	apt install libxml2-dev libssl-dev
+
+Compile the source with make and run the binary. If needed manually copy the binary to a place of your choise. The Makefile does not support installation.
+
+	make
+	./fbsh-cli
+	
+
+### Configuration File
 
-## Configuration File
 To set some default settings and create the configuration file, just run the command.
 
 `./fbsh-cli -host http://192.168.0.1 -user SOMEUSER -pass SOMEPASSWORD saveconfig`
 
 The default configuration will be saved under `$HOME/.fbsh.config`. In addition the client will save a SID file `.fbsh.sid` which contains the last known SID (session ID). This file will also be located inside the home directory.
 
-## Check the Login
+Both script and the client will use the same config file.
+
+### Test the Login
 Test the connection with `./fbsh-cli connect`. The successfull conntion will look like:
 
     user@desktop ~/FBSmartHome $ ./fbsh-cli connect
     SID:989346018a2dca53
     user@desktop ~/FBSmartHome $  
 
-## Supported Commands
+### Supported Commands
 + saveconfig
 + connect
 + list
 + help
 
 
-## Currently Not Working
+### Currently Not Working
 + HTTPS is yet not supported
++ sending commands to switches and lights
++ readin additional data from devices
