Sending commands to Raspberry PI on the same LAN via Indigo

Using latest Indigo version. Want to send various commands to a Raspberry Pi v3, via actions / action groups. RPi is on the same LAN as the Indigo server (v 7.x)

Any suggestions? Sorry if a stupid / noob question.

Thanks,

Are u using pibeacon?

It comes build in with that function

Otherwise you will need to program yourself

No, I want to login into the PI and send commands via the CLI to tell it to send commands to a bluetooth receiver, not a beacon, that is nearby.

Yes pibeacon can do that
Can send any command to an rpi

I'm late to the game here, but you could use SSH, with a ssh key created without a passphrase, then you can just ssh pi@x.x.x.x command option etc

to generate a key on the Mac, go into terminal and:

sshkeygen -t rsa -b 2048

hit return to accept all the defaults.

Then copy the contents of the id_rsa.pub file to the pi's .ssh/ directory in a file called authorized_keys and you can connect without a password.

You'll possibly need to create the .ssh directory in your home on the Rpi.

If it doesn't work then the permissions on the file or the .ssh directory are wrong.

Sometimes I shortcut by creating a ssh key on the Pi as well, which will create a directory with the proper permissions.

This was exactly what worked for me. Hardest part was learning about keys.
