node-red-contrib-ssh-coco v0.2.4

node-red-contrib-ssh-v2

Available on NPM as https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-red-contrib-ssh-coco Based on node-red-contrib-ssh-coco to fix multiple issues with multiple ssh nodes and with processing multiple messages at the same time

Why?

I added this so I could turn on my linux HTPC via Alexa, triggering a WOL packet and then turn it off using SSH. That's why SSH reconnection was important.

Changelog

• fix multiple ssh nodes in one flow
• fix processing of multiple messages at the same time
• output of ssh node now contained the original message and the ssh session

Usage

Input: msg.payload has to contain the command. Output: none

Configuration

• Ssh: ssh key path (optional but recommended)
• Hostname: address of the target SSH server
• Name: name of the node
• Username: username of the target SSH server
• Password: password of the target SSH server (set this if not using ssh key)

To-Do (help wanted)

1. Add feature to reuse hosts/accounts instead of having to re-add every time
2. Add output so that other nodes can consume the result
3. Add option to consume more information(e.g. hostname) from other node
