Using this with Pi-Hole

[yepecece]

I am trying to use this plugin with pi-hole scripts but get the following errors: pi sudo[1219]: pam_unix(sudo:auth): conversation failed pi sudo[1219]: pam_unix(sudo:auth): auth could not identify password for [homebridge]

What I am trying to achieve is to have a with to enable/disable pi-hole.

Here is my config: on.sh is "pihole enable" off.sh is "pihole disable" state.sh is "pihole status" on_value is "enabled"

https://discourse.pi-hole.net/t/the-pihole-command-with-examples/738

Also, my pi-hole does not have a password.

If I run the scripts from the terminal it works great but via homebridge I get the previous errors.

Thanks to le me know if you know hot to resolve this.

I'm not familiar with pi-hole but can you look at some of the tips I provided here https://github.com/pponce/homebridge-script2/issues/8

Also, in case pi-hole works similarly how adb does which runs it's own shell, you may need to have your script open a shell and pass in the commands to it. See the examples in the issue i linked to.

Are you running the commands as the same user you're using to test in the terminal? That error looks like sudo is trying to prompt you for a password but it cannot as it's in a script. You could edit your sudoers file to ensure that the user homebridge can sudo those commands without password requirements.

Thanks for your help.

It now works.

Here are my 3 scripts just in case on.sh #!/bin/bash # Enable Pi-Hole Script v1.0 sudo -u homebridge bash << EOF pihole enable EOF

off.sh #!/bin/bash # Enable Pi-Hole Script v1.0 sudo -u homebridge bash << EOF pihole disable 5m EOF

state.sh #!/bin/bash # Enable Pi-Hole Script v1.0 sudo -u homebridge bash << 'EOF' { pihole status web } EOF

and the on_value is set to "1"
