# Starlink CLI Control your Starlink dish from the command line via its local gRPC API at `192.168.100.1:9200`. ## Installation ```bash cargo install --git https://github.com/danfedick/starlink-cli ``` Requires Rust and `protoc` (Protocol Buffers compiler). ## Commands ### Status Get dish state, uptime, SNR, latency, throughput, obstructions: ```bash starlink status starlink status --json ``` ### WiFi Clients List devices connected to the Starlink router: ```bash starlink clients starlink clients --json ``` Output includes: name, MAC, IP, signal strength, interface (2.4GHz/5GHz/ETH), connection time. ### Speed Test Run a speed test through the dish: ```bash starlink speedtest starlink speedtest --json ``` Returns download/upload Mbps and latency. ### Stow/Unstow Stow dish flat for transport or storage: ```bash starlink stow # stow starlink stow --unstow # unstow and resume ``` ### Reboot Reboot the dish: ```bash starlink reboot ``` ### Location Get GPS coordinates (must be enabled in Starlink app → Settings → Advanced → Debug Data → "allow access on local network"): ```bash starlink location starlink location --json ``` ## Output Formats - **Default**: Human-readable colored output - **--json**: JSON for scripting/parsing Example JSON parsing: ```bash starlink status --json | jq '.latency_ms' starlink clients --json | jq '.[] | .name' ``` ## Requirements - Connected to Starlink network - Dish reachable at `192.168.100.1:9200` - For location: enable in Starlink app first ## Troubleshooting **"Failed to connect to Starlink dish"** - Verify you're on the Starlink WiFi or wired to the router - Check: `ping 192.168.100.1` - If using bypass mode with your own router, ensure 192.168.100.1 is still routable **Location returns empty** - Enable in Starlink app: Settings → Advanced → Debug Data → "allow access on local network" ## Limitations - Device pause/unpause is NOT available (cloud-only feature via Starlink app) - Only works on local network, not remotely ## Source https://github.com/danfedick/starlink-cli
