Pairing code line command?

Is there a line command to list the 6 character paring code?

Thanks.

check the logs (/var/log/mycroft/) or run the CLI and it will show it in there.

Thanks baconator for a quick reply. I have seen the six lines I need in the logs, but a line command sure would be nice. I’d write one if I knew where the key is stored.

Hey Mike, currently it’s not written to disk anywhere but the logs.

You could do something like:

grep -Po "Pairing code obtained: [a-zA-Z0-9]{6}$" /var/log/mycroft/skills.log | tail -1

Thanks for the hint. The one-liner is quite relevant for automated deployments too. Saves the struggle of going through logs manually.

Thanks @gez-mycroft , I’ll write a short script such as lspairingcode.

This is how I did it with Ansible:

github.com

smartgic/ansible-role-mycroft/blob/main/templates/mycroft-core/bin/pairing-code.sh.j2

#!/bin/bash

skills_log={{ _mycroft_logs_directory }}/skills.log
string="Pairing code"

if grep -q "${string}" $skills_log; then
    data=$(grep "${string}" $skills_log | tail -n 1)
    code=$(echo $data | awk '{ print $NF }' )
    code_time=$(echo $data | awk '{ print $1" "$2 }')
    
    echo "Pairing code: ${code}"
    echo "Generated: ${code_time}"
else
    echo "No pairing code found, maybe the device has been already paired."
    exit 1
fi

where is the code stored ? the file ~/.mycroft/identity/identity2.json is missing

In /var/log/mycroft/skills.log.
