Websocket CLI Tools provides a set of commands for interacting remotely and easily with IoT-Lab nodes using the Websosket protocol.

Websocket CLI Tools can be used in conjunction with the IoT-Lab CLI Tools commands like iotlab-auth and iotlab-experiment.

You need python pip. To install ws-cli-tools, use pip (or pip3 for Python 3):

$ pip install iotlabwscli --user

Start an experiment, wait for it to be ready and connect to the serial port:

$ iotlab-experiment submit -d 120 -l saclay,m3,1,tutorial_m3.elf
{
    "id": 65535
}
$ iotlab-experiment wait
Waiting that experiment 65535 gets in state Running
"Running"
$ iotlab-ws
