KVM Switch Manager for TESmart HKS801-E23-EUBK

A Python script to control the TESmart HKS801-E23-EUBK KVM switch over LAN, enabling operations such as switching input sources, setting LED timeouts, and managing the buzzer.

Features

• Switch between input sources (PC1 to PC8).
• Set LED timeout durations.
• Mute or unmute the buzzer.
• Enable or disable auto input detection.
• Retrieve the current active input port.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Network access to the KVM switch.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/psaavedra/tesmartctl.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd tesmartctl

3. Install the project:

   pip install -e .

Usage

The script utilizes argparse for command-line argument parsing. You can specify the KVM's IP address and port, and execute various commands.

python tesmartctl.py --ip 192.168.1.10 --port 5000 <command> [options]

Replace <command> with one of the following:

• switch_input: Switch to a specific input port.
• set_led_timeout: Set the LED timeout duration.
• mute_buzzer: Mute the buzzer.
• unmute_buzzer: Unmute the buzzer.
• set_auto_input_detection: Enable or disable auto input detection.
• get_active_input: Retrieve the current active input port.

Examples

1. Switch to PC2:

   python tesmartctl.py --ip 192.168.1.10 --port 5000 switch_input 2

2. Set LED timeout to 30 seconds:

   python tesmartctl.py --ip 192.168.1.10 --port 5000 set_led_timeout 30s

3. Mute the buzzer:

   python tesmartctl.py --ip 192.168.1.10 --port 5000 mute_buzzer

4. Enable auto input detection:

   python tesmartctl.py --ip 192.168.1.10 --port 5000 set_auto_input_detection enable

5. Get the current active input port:

   python tesmartctl.py --ip 192.168.1.10 --port 5000 get_active_input
