It is [[http://code.google.com/p/livebox-hah/|open-sourced]], so if you want to, you can see exactly how it works. To give it a try, start by downloading the most recent FIRMWARE (DWB) from [[http://code.google.com/p/livebox-hah/downloads/list]]. To install this .dwb firmware onto your Livebox, you'll need to follow some detailed instructions. There are four main stages in the process. - [[firmware#flashing_new_firmware_aka_livebox_recovery|Downgrade the Livebox]] - [[commandlineaccess|Gain command line access]] - [[buildingfirmware#replacing_the_redboot_loader|Replace the Redboot loader]] - [[firmware|Flash the HAH firmware onto the Livebox]] <note tip> If you find the idea of reflashing a Livebox too daunting, you can buy a pre-flashed HAH from http://www.homeautomationhub.com </note> Once the firmware is installed the following points will be useful: * Default **root** password is **admin** * SSH enabled ([[http://matt.ucc.asn.au/dropbear/dropbear.html|dropbear]] 0.51), TELNETD available, initially disabled. * Console login disabled as this is where the additional hardware attaches. * Webserver listens on port 80. * No ADSL or WiFi support. Once you reflash with the HAH firmware, the Livebox is no longer an ADSL/WiFi router (in fact it's not a router at all). * The two ethernet ports are bridged, the MAC address of the unit is that of the bridge, not the one on the label on the box. * An internet feed from any ISP will work. Once reflashed, there is no longer any tie-in to Orange. ===== Locating DHCP assigned IP ===== **The HAH uses DHCP by default**. There are a few ways to find out what IP address has been assigned * You can examine your DHCP server and look for the lease. * With the additional hardware the IP address is shown on the LCD at boot up. * Install the xFx_Viewer and look for the IP address on any xAP heartbeat being emitted or obtained directly from the encoding of the HUB source path. Such as shown below. <note important>[[http://www.dbzoo.com/public/xFx%20Viewer%20v4%20Installer.msi|xFxViewer v4]] requires the [[http://www.edjo.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/edward/xAP/downloads/xFx-Express%20Hub%20Installer.msi|Express hub]] to also be installed.\\ [[http://www.dbzoo.com/public/xFx%20Viewer%20Installer.msi|xFxViewer v3]] does not so its a simpler installation process.</note> {{:livebox:locating-ip-with-xfx.jpg|}} * Use a .NET program that will act as a {{:livebox:hah-vlcd.zip|HAH Virtual LCD}} if you don't have the additional hardware. {{:livebox:hah-vlcd.png}} <note warning>Note that the Virtual LCD app is not compatible with HAH's which use the "instance" feature. For a fresh installation this isn't a problem.</note> livebox/hah_installation.txt Last modified: 2016/07/23 15:35by minerva9
