⁠Argoclima Dummy Server

Dummy integration of the server used for communicating with some of the Argoclima (Argo) HVAC devices. Can be used if you don't want your device to communicate over the internet, you have connectivity problems, or the public server is offline.

⁠How to use

You can set the port the dummy server listens to via the env SERVER_PORT. It defaults to 8080. For the dummy server to be of any use, you need to redirect the traffic to it. As the original server is a hardcoded public IP you need to change the routing through your router.

Example with an Asus router running Asuswrt-Merlin:

1. Enable custom scripts and SSH via the router UI (Administration -> System).
2. SSH into your router and create a file called nat-start in /jffs/scripts (replace YOUR_SERVER and YOUR_PORT with the address and port of your dummy server instance).

   #!/bin/sh
   iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -s 0.0.0.0/0 -d 31.14.128.210 -p tcp -j DNAT --to-destination YOUR_SERVER:YOUR_PORT
   

   Copy
3. Make sure the file is executable. chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*.
4. Restart your router.
