hi
Anyone using the GL-S1300 which is marketed as a IOT gateway ?
I am wondering how to set up the zigbee and bluetooth with this router and OpenWrt.
I plan to use the GL-S1300 as a mesh peer with the GL-B1300 I have currently.
My eventual goal is to have HomeAssistant running and use the GL-S1300 as a hub/node/interface to the smart bulbs etc I have at home

Hi,
I'm currently trying to get this running.
The GL.Inet convexa s is now in openwrt 21 so I'm using stock openwrt instead of GL.Inets version.
Some points to get it somewhat working:
hold reset button while rebooting
plug laptop into lan port (keep wan uplugged)
set static ip 192.168.1.2
browser http://192.168.1.1
flash factory-to-openwrt file
restart holding reset button
browser http://192.168.1.1
flash openwrt itb
restart holding reset button
browser http://192.168.1.1
flash openwrt sysupgrade.bin
ssh root@192.168.1.1
set your root password
passwd
plug in wan cable
opkg update
if you run df -kh you'll see that there is only 7mb storage (this is due to two different storage chips being in the device)
cat /proc/partitions
shows the partitions available
opkg install block-mount kmod-fs-ext4 kmod-usb-storage kmod-usb-ohci kmod-usb-uhci e2fsprogs fdisk
block info
The overlay partition is where you install your opkg programs to
we want overlay to be mmcblk0p3 = 500mb
we want mmcblk0p4 to be mounted at /mnt/data = 7GB
mount rootfs in another directory
DEVICE="$(sed -n -e "/\s/overlay\s.*$/s///p" /etc/mtab)"
uci -q delete fstab.rwm
uci set fstab.rwm="mount"
uci set fstab.rwm.device="${DEVICE}"
uci set fstab.rwm.target="/rwm"
uci commit fstab
set the new overlay partition
DEVICE="/dev/mmcblk0p3"
mkfs.ext4 ${DEVICE}
eval $(block info ${DEVICE} | grep -o -e "UUID=\S*")
uci -q delete fstab.overlay
uci set fstab.overlay="mount"
uci set fstab.overlay.uuid="${UUID}"
uci set fstab.overlay.target="/overlay"
uci commit fstab
copy data fro old overlay to new one
mount ${DEVICE} /mnt
cp -f -a /overlay/. /mnt
umount /mnt
reboot now
This should be a fully working openwrt install.
I couldn't get homeassistant to work using the python virtual environment. But it works well using docker
opkg update
opkg list | grep docker
opkg install dockerd docker
we need to use the storage on the data partition
edit /etc/config/dockerd
...
option data_root '/mnt/data/docker/'
...
mkdir /mnt/data/docker
cp -rf /opt/docker/* /mnt/data/docker/
reboot now
rm -rf /opt/docker/
reboot now
docker run --init -d
--name homeassistant
--restart=unless-stopped
-e TZ=Australia/Sydney
-v /mnt/data/docker_homeassistant:/config
--network=host
--device=/dev/ttyMSM1:/dev/ttyMSM1
homeassistant/home-assistant:stable
this will be a working homeassistant on your router ip port 8123 (192.168.1.1:8123)
What I am currently stuck on is getting the zigbee chip inside the router to run since adding the integration zha in homeassistant errors out when connecting to it.
https://wikidevi.wi-cat.ru/GL.iNet_GL-S1300
CPU2: Silicon Labs EFR32MG
baudrate=115200
/dev/ttyMSM1
but there is also mention of /dev/spidev1.0 which I don't understand.
sorry notes are still very rough
Has anyone gotten the zigbee to work?
