qToggleServer is configured via the qtoggleserver.conf file that lives in /data/etc. At first boot it is copied from /etc/qtoggleserver.conf which is a system-provided default configuration.
To edit the configuration file you can:
-
log in remotely using SSH and use the
nanoeditor:# nano /data/etc/qtoggleserver.conf -
insert the SD card into your Windows or OSX laptop and provide your
qtoggleserver.conffile on the boot partition -
insert the SD card into your Linux laptop and edit the
/etc/qtoggleserver.conffile on the data partition
See Partitions for more details on the partitions layout.
There are a few system settings that can and should be adjusted via the web app. Just go to the Settings page in the app and you'll notice the following system settings:
The device name plays an important role in a master-slave qToggle setup and also represents the hostname of your board on the network. Use simple names made of non-accented letters, numbers and dashes.
Every qToggle device has the following roles:
- administrator role - unlimited privileges, used for administrative purposes
- normal role - daily, regular usage with no access to the Settings page
- view-only role - can only view the state of your qToggle device
It is important to set up strong passwords for at least the administrator and normal roles, since these roles can do damage to your home automation.
The system date/time is automatically managed by the OS so you should change it via the app.
Choose the correct timezone of your device, so that the local time is used when writing time-based automation rules.
Since you're already viewing the app Settings page, your qToggle device has network access, whether wired or wireless. Nevertheless, you can change or remove your WiFi network name and password using this field. Be sure to enter data correctly so that you don't break the device's network access.
Since you're already viewing the app Settings page, your qToggle device has a working IP configuration. You may want though to set up a static IP using this field. Be sure to enter data correctly so that you don't break the device's network access.
