A Unfolded Circle Remote Two Integration Library in Go

⚠️ DISCLAIMER This is Work in Progress and might not yet be functional.

This Unfolded Circle Remote Two integration driver written in Go implements is written as generic as possible to be used with any kind of device to control.

Currently this repository implements a driver for the following devices:

• DeCONZ
• Shelly
• Tasmota

Intergrations implemented using this library:

• Denon Audio/Video Reveiver

Device / Clients

Generic Client

The generic client is not functional. You need to implement your own Client for the device you want to control

Deconz

Run with ucrt deconz

This client currently implements Light entities for discovered DeCONZ Lights and Groups and Sensor entitites for selected DeCONZ sensors.

Shelly

Run with ucrt shelly

This client currently implements Switch entities for discovered Shelly Devices. It uses MQTT to discover and control Shelly devices.

Tasmota

Run with ucrt tasmota

This client currently implements Switch entities and Light entities It uses MQTT to discover and control Tasmota devices.

Currently on the following Sonoff device types are supported

• 0 Sonoff Basic results in a Switch entity
• 4 RGBW results in a Light entity

Note The light entity does not really suport RGBW. So currently, as a somehow working workaround, when setting the brithness is set to 0, the entity changes between RGB & W Settings.

Use "ucrt-amd64 [command] --help" for more information about a command.

As a Container

You can start the Integration as a container by using the released container images:

Example to start the DenonAVR Integration:

docker run ghcr.io/splattner/goucrt:v0.1.7 denonavr

To keep the setup data persistet mount a volume to /app/ucconfig:

docker run -v ./localdir:/app/ucconfig ghcr.io/splattner/goucrt:v0.1.7 denonavr

For the mDNS adventisement to work correctly I suggest starting the integration in the host network. And you can set your websocket listening port with the environment variable UC_INTEGRATION_HTTP_PORT:

docker run --net=host -e UC_INTEGRATION_HTTP_PORT=10000 -v ./localdir:/app/ucconfig ghcr.io/splattner/goucrt:v0.1.7 denonavr

As a custom-installed driver on the Remote

Since firmware v1.9.0, the remote can install an integration driver directly as a .tar.gz archive - no separate host needed. goucrt's deCONZ, Shelly and Tasmota clients each build as their own installable archive; see the Core-API's custom driver installation docs for the full format and the remote's sandbox environment.

Build all three archives:

make custom-driver-archives

This produces custom-driver-dist/{deconz,shelly,tasmota}-custom-driver.tar.gz, each a statically linked linux/arm64 binary at bin/driver plus a generated driver.json and the client's icon at the archive root. Released versions are attached to each GitHub release alongside the container images.

Install one in the remote's web-configurator: integrations, Add new, Install custom, and upload the archive. Or via the REST API:

curl --location 'http://$REMOTE_IP/api/intg/install' \
  --user 'web-configurator:$PIN' \
  --form 'file=@"deconz-custom-driver.tar.gz"'

Setup data persists across restarts in the remote-managed $UC_CONFIG_HOME/$UC_DATA_HOME directories - nothing to mount, unlike the container image. mDNS advertisement and self-registration are disabled automatically in this mode (see Environment Variables below): the remote already knows how to reach the driver from the installation itself.

Configuration

Environment Variables

The following environment variables exist in addition to the configuration file:

Variable	Values	Description
UC_CONFIG_HOME	directory path	Configuration directory to save the user configuration from the driver setup. Default: ./ucconfig/
UC_DATA_HOME	directory path	Directory for a driver's own application data, separate from user setup data. Default: same as UC_CONFIG_HOME. goucrt itself doesn't write anything here yet; it's exposed for driver code to use.
UC_DISABLE_MDNS_PUBLISH	true / false	Disables mDNS service advertisement. Default: false
UC_INTEGRATION_HTTP_PORT	int	The port this integration is listening for websocket connections from the remote. Set automatically by the remote when running as a custom-installed driver; always takes precedence over UC_INTEGRATION_LISTEN_PORT/--listenPort when set. Default: 8080
UC_INTEGRATION_LISTEN_PORT	int	Same as UC_INTEGRATION_HTTP_PORT above, kept for backwards compatibility. Use UC_INTEGRATION_HTTP_PORT if you can - it's the name the remote itself uses.
UC_INTEGRATION_INTERFACE	host/IP	Host/IP address to listen on. Set automatically by the remote when running as a custom-installed driver. Default: all interfaces (0.0.0.0)
UC_INTEGRATION_WEBSOCKET_PATH	string	Path where this integration is available for websocket connections. Default: /ws
UC_RT_HOST	string	IP Address of your Remote Two instance (disables Remote Two discovery via mDNS for registration)
UC_RT_PORT	int	Port of your Remote Two instance (disables Remote Two discovery via mDNS for registration)
UC_ENABLE_REGISTRATION	string	Enable driver registration on the Remote Two instead of mDNS advertisement. Default: false
UC_REGISTRATION_USERNAME	string	Username of the RemoteTwo for driver registration. Default: web-configurator
UC_REGISTRATION_PIN	string	Pin of the RemoteTwo for driver registration

When running as a custom-installed driver, mDNS advertisement and self-registration are disabled automatically (there's no way for the sandboxed process to receive CLI flags, so UC_DISABLE_MDNS_PUBLISH/UC_ENABLE_REGISTRATION can't be set either) - neither serves a purpose there, since the remote already knows about the driver from the installation archive.

Development

The generic client is in pgk/client/client.go. In order to implement your own client, you have to implement the following functions:

// Client specific functions
// Initialize the client
// Here you can add entities if they are already known
initFunc func()
// Called by RemoteTwo when the integration is added and setup started
setupFunc      func()
// Handles connect/disconnect calls from RemoteTwo
clientLoopFunc func()

See Denon Client Example in in pkg/client/denonavrclient.go

Todo's

• Implement all available entities
• Handle command calls
• Allow for attribute changes
• Allow for driver regisration
  • Make it more robust
• Allow for driver authentication with token/header
• Documentation, how to use, how to implement your own device
• probably way more

Verifying

Checksum

Checksums

wget https://github.com/splattner/goucrt/releases/download/v0.1.3/goucrt_0.1.3_checksums.txt
cosign verify-blob \
  --certificate-identity 'https://github.com/splattner/goucrt/.github/workflows/release.yaml@refs/tags/v0.1.3' \
  --certificate-oidc-issuer 'https://token.actions.githubusercontent.com' \

  --signature https://github.com/splattner/goucrt/releases/download/v0.1.3/goucrt_0.1.3_checksums.txt.sig \
  ./goucrt_0.1.3_checksums.txt

You can then download any file you want from the release, and verify it with, for example:

wget https://github.com/splattner/goucrt/releases/download/v0.1.3/goucrt_0.1.3_linux_amd64.tar.gz.sbom
wget https://github.com/splattner/goucrt/releases/download/v0.1.3/goucrt_0.1.3_linux_amd64.tar.gz
sha256sum --ignore-missing -c checksums.txt

And both should say "OK".

You can then inspect the .sbom file to see the entire dependency tree of the binary.
