amtm amtm 6.1.2 - the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu, July 12, 2025

[thelonelycoder]

Welcome, this is amtm 6.1, the Asuswrt-Merlin Terminal Menu

amtm is a front end that manages popular scripts for wireless routers running Asuswrt-Merlin firmware.
Starting with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware 384.15, amtm is included in the firmware.

What's new in amtm 6.1

• Adds support for wx WXMON - Localized Weather Monitoring, extended forecasts, including aviation METARs and TAFs! (US/Global!) by @Viktor Jaep.
• This is Viktor's sixth script that makes into amtm. Congratulations Mr. Jaep, you are the best!
• Added option in sc Scripts update notification to select between weekly (default), bi-weekly (new), or daily (new) update checks. Thanks to @Tarek Yag for the suggestion.
• Moved install path to new AMTM-OSR repository for the following scripts: Scribe, uiScribe and vnStat.

Existing installations of above scripts get automatically modified to use the new AMTM-OSR repositories.
If a script needed URL modification, it will prominently show so and to use the scripts own update function to update to the latest version.
If you missed that, check for updates with u in amtm after you updated amtm to this latest version.

Also, all repository branches will be set to "master" for already installed scripts, no questions asked.
All of the above scripts are up to date, "development" branch changes have been merged into the "master" branch.

Feel free to visit and contribute to the AMTM Orphaned Script Revival repo: https://github.com/AMTM-OSR

How to update amtm
In the amtm menu, enter u to update to this latest version.
The firmware built-in and the legacy amtm version receive updates at the same time.

The full version history can be found on diversion.ch

amtm start command

amtm

On firmware older than 384.15, you may have to enter the full path to amtm.
Note that the command below does not work for the firmware built in amtm.

/jffs/scripts/amtm

Install command for Asuswrt-Merlin firmware older than 384.15
Copy and paste the complete command below into your favorite SSH terminal, then press Enter.

curl -Os https://diversion.ch/amtm/amtm && sh amtm

Routers with Asuswrt-Merlin firmware 384.15 and newer require no installation, amtm is included in the firmware. The firmware built in amtm adds FW next to the version.

amtm is hosted on the Diversion website: https://diversion.ch/amtm.html

Today, amtm is 6 years and exactly 9 months old. That‘s 2465 days of continued improvement and support.
Not a bad for a reclusive coder

Here‘s how amtm got the kick off: https://www.snbforums.com/threads/s...curity-enhancements.16798/page-71#post-360428

What’s the old quote about any club that would have me as a member??

In the last few weeks I often see this:

- Entware server bin.entware.net unreachable
- Entware server entware.diversion.ch unreachable
- Using Entware server mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn,
  Mirror by Beijing Foreign Studies University

Is this a "me problem" or do more folks run into this?

And is there a way to configure which mirrors are (not) used?

(I'm not really happy with updating my software stack from a server in a country where the government has a different view on privacy/security and might inject spyware; I would strongly prefer a mirror in the EU)

From amtm menu "ep" then select 0ption #3.

Already used that, but since bin.entware.net and entware.diversion.ch are often not reachable (here) amtm falls back to mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn…

Have you made custom alterations that would affect it that way?
When last I set mine, it would not update or fallback to another server.
I'm using entware.diversion.ch, and his server is not always as quickly updated to the newest as fast as the others.
Sometimes the delay is favorable.

Kind of a noob question, but I just got a RT-AX86U Pro and installed amtm and diversion to it. When it installed, does it no longer install onto the USB stick?

Previous installs on my old RT-AC68U used USB stick.

Thanks

Scripts are generally installed in /jffs/scripts with addons installed in per-script subdirectories of /jffs/addons. USB is for swap and data files.

I have only selected option 1:

 Testing Entware servers, current server in
 use: bin.entware.net

 1. bin.entware.net - Primary server by Entware team (recommended)
 2. entware.diversion.ch - Mirror by thelonelycoder
 3. mirrors.bfsu.edu.cn - Mirror by Beijing Foreign Studies University

 Select Entware server to use [1-3 e=Exit]

I have configured fixed dynamic LED control to have the LED on during the day. RT-AX88U and RT-BE88U. Right now, AX88U is off, as it should during this time, while BE88U is still on.
Guess it lacks full support on BE88U?

It is more likely yet another change in the website that @thelonelycoder pulls sunrise and sunset times from for dynamic time values — both times are being set to 00:00. It was brought up in another thread a week or so ago, but he obviously has not found the time to troubleshoot and fix the issue — the script is a freebee that he provides for the benefit of the community, which takes a backseat to his real job that pays the bills.

It appears that both automatically turns on/off the LEDs. However, that one that seemed to work decently, due to lack of time to monitor the exact switch time, and not the other made me wonder.
But yes, when I checked remotely now both are still at 00:00-00:00.
Still, based on what I have seen, they behave differently.

And since this is the latest open thread for the latest AMTM. And that the time server data feature has become broken again is not mentioned here, here I am.
And it does not explicitly say that support for BE88U exists even though it's probably could have worked thanks to the support on the other WiFi-7 models. So that became my first thought. Hence I asked.

I'm working on rewriting the Dynamic LED control portion of amtm.
It'll be better and more accurate then ever.

Great. I only enabled it for fun, and that having the LEDs permanently on is kind of a waste. While permanently off is a shame

So looking forward to new releases, as always.
