fritzconnection 1.11.0

Communicate with the AVM FRITZ!Box

Python-Tool to communicate with the AVM Fritz!Box. Uses the TR-064 protocol over UPnP.

Installation:

For installation use pip

$ pip install fritzconnection
  or
$ pip install fritzconnection[qr]

The latter will install the dependency to enable QR-code creation for wifi login.

Quickstart:

Using fritzconnection is as easy as:

from fritzconnection import FritzConnection

fc = FritzConnection(address='192.168.178.1')
fc.reconnect()  # get a new external ip from the provider
print(fc)  # print router model informations

Here the fc.reconnect() is a shortcut. The basic method FritzConnection provides to access the FritzOS-API is the call_action() method. A reconnection by means of call_action() would look like this:

fc = FritzConnection(address='192.168.178.1')
fc.call_action("WANIPConn1", "ForceTermination")

The method call_action() expects a service- and an action-name (and optional arguments). In general FritzConnection can execute every service and action provided by the (model-specific) API as documented by AVM. For i.e. this can be network settings, status informations, access to home automation devices and much more. In case a call to the FritzOS-API provides information the call_action() method returns a dictionary with the results.

The package comes with some library-modules as examples how to implement applications on top of FritzConnection.
