asusrouter 0.3.0

API wrapper for communication with ASUSWRT-powered routers

AsusRouter

AsusRouter is an API wrapper for communication with ASUSWRT-powered routers using HTTP(S) protocols. This version is not final yet and has some issues. Please, consider them.

Features

• Monitoring data: CPU/RAM usage, Tx and Rx traffic and speed for different interfaces (WAN, USB, dual-WAN support, local interfaces), WAN/LAN ports status (speed of devices), NVRAM, connected devices (LAN/WLAN) and other.
• Sending commands to the device when enable_control is set to True (default is False).
• SSL server certificates on the device side (including certificate check on the connection from Trusted Root Certificates or your own specified certificate file).

Installation

Installation of the latest release is available from PyPI:

pip install asusrouter

Usage

Once installed, you can import the AsusRouter class from the module. Example shows the default parameters except for host, username and password.

from asusrouter import AsusRouter

router = AsusRouter(host = "router.my.address",         #required - both IP and URL supported
                    username = "admin",                 #required
                    password = "password",              #required
                    port = None,                        #optional - default port would be selected based on use_ssl parameter
                    use_ssl = False,                    #optional
                    cert_check = True,                  #optional
                    cert_path = "",                     #optional
                    cache_time = 5,                     #optional
                    enable_monitor = True,              #optional
                    enable_control = False)             #optional

The module has the initialization method to load all the known data (all the monitors and methods from the next section, require enable_monitor to be True):

router.async_initialize()

Monitors and additional methods

Most of the values, obtained from the router are grouped in several monitor methods to decrease the amount of data sent between the library and the device. All of them require the enable_monitor parameter of AsusRouter to be set to True.

async_monitor_main()
async_monitor_nvram()
async_monitor_misc()
async_monitor_devices()

A detailed description of monitors and monitoring methods is available here (in work).

Commands

AsusRouter class supports sending commands to the device using the async_command method. Sending commands requires the enable_command parameter of AsusRrouter to be set to True.

For example, to reboot the device:

# This command will REBOOT your device if connected!
router.async_command(commands = {"rc_service": "reboot"}, action_mode = "apply")

Commands to the method should be sent as a dict of command: value. Please, refer to the Command List (in work) for a detailed explanation of the available commands.

Issues and Pull requests

If you have found an issue working with the library or just want to ask for a new feature, please fill in a new issue.

You are also welcome to submit pull requests to the repository!

Check it with your device

Testing the library with different devices would help a lot in the development process. Unfortunately, currently, I have only one device available, so your help would be much appreciated.

Other support

This library is a free-time project. If you like it, you can support me by buying a coffee.
