FRITZ!Box Net Monitor
The fritzbox_netmonitor sensor monitors the network statistics exposed by AVM Fritz!Box routers.
It might be necessary to install additional packages: $ sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev python3-lxml
If you are working with the All-in-One installation, you may also need to execute also within your virtual environment the command pip install lxml; be patient this will take a while.
To use the Fritz!Box network monitor in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
sensor:
- platform: fritzbox_netmonitor
Configuration variables:
- host (Optional): The IP address of your router, eg. 192.168.1.1. It is optional since every fritzbox is also reachable by using the IP address 169.254.1.1.
The following statistics will be exposed as attributes.
| Attribute | Description |
|---|---|
| is_linked | True if the FritzBox is physically linked to the provider |
| is_connected | True if the FritzBox has established an internet-connection |
| wan_access_type | Connection-type, can be DSL or Cable |
| external_ip | External ip address |
| uptime | Uptime in seconds |
| bytes_sent | Bytes sent |
| bytes_received | Bytes received |
| transmission_rate_up | Current upstream speed in bytes/s |
| transmission_rate_down | Current downstream speed in bytes/s |
| max_byte_rate_up | Maximum upstream-rate in bytes/s |
| max_byte_rate_down | Maximum downstream-rate in bytes/s |
The sensor’s state corresponds to the is_linked attribute and is either online, offline, or unavailable (in case connection to the router is lost).
