for this purposes the current alpha version logs a device list. please share this list here help improve functionality and stability.

if anyone have request or idea related to this please let me know :slight_smile:

I dont have actually Fritz devices but have Fritz itself. wlan-guest-config set/get really sounds interesting. :+1::+1::+1:

#3

Sounds good. I have a power plug I want to use it with :slight_smile:

#4

Very nice! :+1:

I have 4 Fritz!DECT 300 in the drawer. After moving from homee to homey they have become unemployed.
Wanted to sell this product.
But now I will probably wait until the app is published.

#5

that would be a shame :wink:

the project is still in alpha state so if you would like to test or try pls pm me your mail ( and i will add you to alpha participants )

#6

v0.3.0 added the fritzbox status informationā€™s - currently only version and update availability.
but there are a lot of information that could be displayed and many possibilities for trigger/conditions/actions.
iā€™m going to add more status informationā€™s if they needed by you so we donā€™t have to show a lot of unused informations

@puschie iā€™ve created a pull request at github, there where a few typos in your app.json, did you allready saw it?
Will test the app out as soon as i have time. Thanks for the work!

#10

Yes, thanks :slight_smile: is merged
currently Iā€™m not sure when next update is done - hope to find some time on weekend

#11

No big issue. only would like to give you the feedback.

#12

I have a Fritzbox router. Do you think it is possible to use your app for presence detection by wifi connected phones to the LAN? I know the Ubiquity app has that function. Would be really cool :slight_smile:

#13

we can do simple available/unavailable detection
-> the question is how to assign wlan devices to users

#14

You can do the assignment in the flow.
If fritz device xyz is home set user xcv home.

#15

shortened the readme

next update 0.6 will come by the end of next week. ( login fix, wlan device trigger )

#16

I created a own login for the app, but i always get a ā€œinvalid loginā€ notification.
No special characters etc. and YES the password is written correctly :wink:

Any ideas?

Thanks to @Osorkon: ā€œhttp://ā€ in front, solve this problem :slight_smile:

@puschie

First of thanks for the app, my FRITZ! DECT 200 runs perfectly with it :+1:
the only thing I still lack is the display of the room temperature of the FRITZ! DECT 200 :pray:

#18

@puschie

Could you please add presence detection to the Fritzbox by using Wifi like it is already possible with the netgear and UniFi app? https://apps.athom.com/app/com.gruijter.netgear

Iā€™m already using this feature with Home Assistant and it works very reliable. https://www.home-assistant.io/components/fritz/
Iā€™m not a coder myself but the used code doesnā€™t seem to be long, maybe this can help you: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/fritz

the essense for log in in the fritzbox :

ip http://10.10.10.10 eg

make a user with password in the fritzbox
change the local login from only password to user with password
turn off ssl
