[ Help ] Multiple HS100 devices controlled by one docker container about hs100-api-endpoint HOT 2 OPEN

There is no way currently to specify more than one plug ip but you could startup multiple containers pointing to different plugs and then send the netcat call to each?

For Example:

docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:9000:9000 \
-e PLUG_IP='192.168.86.16' \
--name some_name snipzwolf/hs100-api-endpoint

docker run -d -p 127.0.0.1:8000:9000 \
-e PLUG_IP='192.168.86.17' \
--name some_name snipzwolf/hs100-api-endpoint

Another option if your familar with javascript/node would be to modifiy https://github.com/Snipzwolf/hs100-api-endpoint/blob/master/src/server.js to accept the ip being passed in when you send the command, i havn't tested it but i think something like this change could work while keeping the old behviour by default.

  function onConnData(d) {
    console.log('connection data from %s: %j', remoteAddress, d);
	
    var dataArr = d.split(' ');
	
    const plug = client.getPlug({host: data[1] || process.env.PLUG_IP});
    const res = plug.setPowerState((data[0].trim().toLowerCase() === 'true'));
    //console.log(res);
    conn.write("done");
  }

you could then change your nc commands to this

	/usr/bin/echo "true 192.168.86.16" | /usr/bin/nc 127.0.0.1 9999
	/usr/bin/echo "true 192.168.86.17" | /usr/bin/nc 127.0.0.1 9999

I'm actually not sure why i included the -q command to be honest it's been a while and i actually had to lookup what it did, possibly while debugging it i occassionally had hung requests and just ended up including it in the example without thinking.

Hey awesome ! I tried the first option creating for each device one docker container. Works. However having more than five devices gets quite complicated. I will try fiddling around with option two. Thank you very much for your help. Thanks !
