=head1 DESCRIPTION
Power::Outlet is a package for controlling and querying network attached power outlets. Individual hardware drivers in this name space must provide a common object interface for the controlling and querying of an outlet. Common methods that every network attached power outlet must know are on, off, query, switch and cycle. Optional methods might be implemented in some drivers like amps and volts.
=head2 SCOPE
The current scope of these packages is network attached power outlets. I started with iBoot and iBootBar since I had the hardware. Hardware configuration is beyond the scope of this group of packages as most power outlets have functional web based or command line configuration tools.
=head2 Home Assistant
Integration with Home Assistant L<https://home-assistant.io/> can be accomplished by configuring a Command Line Switch.
switch:
- platform: command_line
switches:
ibootbar_1:
command_on: /usr/bin/power-outlet iBootBar ON host mybar.local outlet 1
command_off: /usr/bin/power-outlet iBootBar OFF host mybar.local outlet 1
command_state: /usr/bin/power-outlet iBootBar QUERY host mybar.local outlet 1 | /bin/grep -q ON
friendly_name: My iBootBar Outlet 1
See L<https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.command_line/>
=head2 Node Red
Integration with Node Red L<https://nodered.org/> can be accomplished with the included JSON web API power-outlet-json.cgi. The power-outlet-json.cgi script is a layer on top of L<Power::Outlet::Config> where the "name" parameter maps to the section in the /etc/power-outlet.ini INI file.
To access all of these devices use an http request node with a URL https://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/power-outlet-json.cgi?name={{topic}};action={{payload}} then simply set the topic to the INI section and the action to either ON or OFF.
=head1 USAGE
The Perl one liner
perl -MPower::Outlet -e 'print Power::Outlet->new(type=>"Tasmota", host=>shift)->switch, "\n"' myhost
The included command line script
power-outlet Shelly ON host myshelly
=head1 CONSTRUCTOR
=head2 new
my $outlet = Power::Outlet->new(type=>"WeMo", host=>"mywemo");
