fb-checkpresence adapter for ioBroker

The adapter checks the presence of family members over the fritzbox. You must fill in the name of the family member and the mac-address (or ip-address) of the used device. The comment is optional and you can enable or disable the family member. The datapoint is based on the member name.

Used open source code

npm dateformat v4.5.3

(c) 2007-2009 Steven Levithan npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dateformat github: https://github.com/felixge/node-dateformat license: MIT

Adapter pre conditions

For the correct function you have to install a history adapter. You can choose one of the following adapters:

• History
• SQL
• InfluxDB

Used device

For this adapter the AVM Fritzbox is used. Here you can find informations about the Fritzbox https://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/. The fritzbox services are used over the TR-064 protocol.

Fritzbox conditions

The used TR-064 interface from the fritzbox is described here: https://avm.de/service/schnittstellen/. Following TR-064 services and actions are used:

• Hosts:1 - X_AVM-DE_GetHostListPath (supported since 2017-01-09)
• Hosts:1 - X_AVM-DE_GetMeshListPath
• Hosts:1 - GetSpecificHostEntry
• Hosts:1 - X_AVM-DE_GetSpecificHostEntryByIP (supported since 2016-05-18)
• DeviceInfo:1 - GetSecurityPort
• DeviceInfo:1 - GetInfo
• WANPPPConnection:1 - GetInfo
• WANIPConnection:1 - GetInfo
• WLANConfiguration3 - SetEnable
• WLANConfiguration3 - GetInfo
• WLANConfiguration3 - GetSecurityKeys
• X_AVM-DE_HostFilter - DisallowWANAccessByIP
• X_AVM-DE_HostFilter - GetWANAccessByIP
• DeviceConfig:1 - Reboot
• LANConfigSecurity1 - X_AVM-DE_GetCurrentUser

By default, the TR-064 interface is not activated. However, this can easily be changed via the FritzBox web interface. To do this log in into your FritzBox and ensure that the expert view is activated. Then you will find below "Home Network »Home Network Overview» Network Settings" the point "Allow access for applications". There you have to activate the checkbox and then restart the FritzBox once.

Hint: After changing the options, don't forget the restart of the Fritzbox !

Configuration dialog

General

The configuration values are validated and only correct values can be saved. Otherwise the save button is disabled.

Fritzbox IP-address, user and password

The configuration of ip-address, user and password is necessary to get the device data from the fritzbox. Therefore a user has to be created in the fritzbox. This is required with newer firmware version (>= 7.25)of the fritzbox. See here fore information: https://avm.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Global/Service/Schnittstellen/Empfehlungen zur Benutzerführung bei der Anmeldung an einer FRITZ!Box_v1.1.pdf The password is encrypted and wasn't saved in clear text. The user name and password may have a maximum of 32 characters. See for information: https://service.avm.de/help/de/FRITZ-Box-Fon-WLAN-7490/014/hilfe_zeichen_fuer_kennwoerter#:~:text=Namen für Benutzer,Kennwortfeld darf nicht leer sein. Hint: In some cases it could be that the fritzbox blocked the user if the password was not correctly inserted. Often a timeout message is in the log. Please check than the if you has insert the correct username and password.Then you have to reboot the fritzbox.

Ssl option

In some cases the adapter could not connect to the fritzbox. It could help to disable this option. In this case the adapter tries to connect without https.

Interval

You have separate intervals for family members and Fritzbox devices. The interval for Fritzbox devices can be configured from 10s to 3600s. Normally a value between 60 and 300 seconds is an optimal interval to read the fritzbox data. Family members could be configured from 10s to 600s. Every new cycle starts if the previous cycle is finished.

Filter time

If the filter time is greater than 0s the state of a family member is checked twice (after the filter time) if the state is changing to false. If the state is true the state is immediate set.

History adapter

Over the history adapter some values are calculated. You can choose, if the history, the sql or the influxdb adapter is used for this calculations. The history adapter must be installed preliminary and can then selected in the configuration dialog. If the history configuration is disabled then the calculation of some values could not be realized.

Dateformat

The date format mask options are described on this web page: https://www.npmjs.com/package/dateformat. The format mask is used for formatting the html and json table objects.

Creation of FB devices

If this option is checked, the objects for every device in the Fritzbox device list are created. If this option is disabled, then also the mesh informations are disabled.

Resynchronisation of FB device objects

If this option is checked, then the FB device object are re-synchronized with the device list fom Fritzbox.

Creation of mesh information

This option can be checked if the creation of FB devices is allowed. If this option is checked, the mesh objects for every device in the Fritzbox device list are created.

guest information

If this option is checked the states for guests are created.

qr-code generation

If this option is checked the qr-code from guest wlan is generated. You can show this QR code in your VIS with the widget "Basic Boolesches SVG". Please use following settings:

Family member settings

For a configured family member you should enter the member name, the hostname, the mac- and ip-address, a comment and you can enable or disable the member. A group is optional. If you leave the group empty and set the compatibility flag to true the behaviour is like an older version of the adaper. You can use the presence state from the family member or the state directly mapped to the family member name. In a future version you must use the presence state. This behaviour could be switched on/off with the compatibility checkbox: -> compatibility = true: behaviour as an older version with empty group. -> compatibility = true and group not empty: new behaviour. All states beneath the familymembers folder. -> compatibility = false: new behaviour. All states beneath the familymembers folder.

For every member the adapter creates a presence state and checks if the member is present or absent. The state was changed if the presence state changed. You can also enable the filtering for a member. If the state is true the state changes immediately to true. If it is false then the value will checked after the filter time again. If the state is in both cases false then the state changes to false. Otherwise it does not change.

To get the speed information in the objects you have to select fb-devices option.

Manually trigger presence

In javascript you can trigger the presence manually. When you send the message to the adapter every new message is blocked for 10 seconds. You receive a negative result (false) if the message is blocked. True if the message is received from the adapter. sendTo('fb-checkpresence.0', 'triggerPresence', {} , function (result) { log(result, 'info'); });

Whitelist settings

In the white list you can insert every known device. Any unknown devices are listed in the blacklist object. If you check the checkbox in the headline of the table all devices are selected.

Features

AVM support check

The function checks the availability of used fritzbox features. The availability is logged as info. If you have problems look if the features are all set to true. Also the access rights are checked for the user and the feature is set to false if the acces right is not correct.

Switch on / off the guest wlan

Under the folder guest you can set the state wlan to true or false and then the guest wlan switches on or off.

QR code of guest wlan

The QR code of the guest wlan is saved in the state wlanQR in the guest folder. The QR code can show in vis in the basic - Bool SVG widget.

Switch on / off the internet access of Fritzbox devices

Under the folder FB-devices you could set the disabled state to true or false and the the internet access of this device is blocked in the Fritzbox.

Get guests, blacklist

In this function it is checked if any user is logged in as guest. Also is checked if any device is not in the white list listed. This devices are added to the blacklist.

For every family member the presence, the comming and going dates and several other infos are calculated and saved in the member object if a history adapter is selected.
