Python plugin: Presence detection from wireless router

[EscApe]

@number8

The entire ssh command is failing. This is usually caused by authentication issues. Could be a wrong/changed host key or keys setup for the wrong user profile.. You can try a ssh command from the command line to troubleshoot. Make sure you use a command line under the same user profile that is running domoticz (root by default).
This forum threads contains many cases and solutions related to these kind of issues.

Thanks @ EscApe for your quick reply. Before posting I checked that 1) Raspberry under su connects fine with the ssh key to this AP 2) as I said the wlanconfig command does not exist while it does exist on others AP's. So this is NOT an authentication issue. Could it be the missing wlanconfig command. I just provisionned an another new AP (AC-PRO), it is detecting fine (and wlanconfig command is indeed supported) Do you need a more complete log?

[EscApe]

@number8: the only thing your log is showing is that the ssh command is failing (not even getting to the point where it would use wlanconfig). Nothing is returned. There is not even an error message from the router. Almost every comparable case up to now turned out to be a authentication issue. Even after the troubleshooters insisted it could not be. Please do not dismiss the possibility to quickly. Using su is not the same as being logged on as root. I do not know if there are relevant differences for this scenario, but I know su can behave differently.

More logging could help, let’s have a look.

Thanks @EscApe. The unit that is not reporting connected devices is 192.168.21.30 (this is a unifi AP Nano HD). Just bare in mind that in su mode (not sudo su) I can ssh to this unit from the rapsberry on which Domoticz and iDetect are installed. wlanconfig is not supported on this unit. All other AP's (unifi as well, other models) are reporting correctly connected devices. Somes other AP's in this log are reported dead, this is on purpose, there are powered off.

@number8:
I see some of the other AP's are also failing some of the initial detection steps (command and/or interfaces to use). The missing wlanconfig should not cause things to fail (unless there's a bug on the plugin:-S). The plugin should simply detect the commands that are available and use those.

Might take some experimenting to find the right combination of command and interfaces to use, but you can force the plugin to use some pre-configured detection scripts or commands and interface-names. This approach is described on GitHub.

Another possibility is that these AP's are not actually running a busybox/linux-based OS, but a proprietary Command Line Interface that they made accessible using ssh.

Since I don't own any unify equipment I cannot troubleshoot this, but if you find the right combination for your specific AP-type, then a will gladly add it to the plugin as a preconfigured option. The thing we need is a command on the AP that produces a list of MAC-addresses and maybe some commands on the router to format the output.

Edit: Just to rule out: You are sure that 'ti' is the correct username for the ssh session to all AP's?

[Number8]

Just a quick answer: yes it (not ti I think it is a typo on your side) is the correct username. I will dig into the rest of your answer tomorrow I guess.

[Number8]

just to help me to understand: what are the other AP's you think they have a problem during the initial detection phase?

[EscApe]

@number8:

To understand what is going on i will briefly explain the stages of the detection proces.
1. plugin tries to find available commands on the router (that is why availability of wlanconfig should not matter. The plugin will ignore it and try other command.)
2. plugin tries to determine what interface names it should check with the command(s) found in step 1
3. actual presence detection using the command from step 1 and interface names from step 2

This way many different router brands and types can be automatically detected as long as they offer one of the usable commands. Worst case it will fall back on brctl, which will work but is slower and less reliable in detecting absence.

There are advanced configuration options (described on GitHub page) to force commands and interface names. In case auto detection fails or does not return the optimal combination on very specific routers/AP's.

Now lets dig into your setup and log file.

It seems like 192.168.21.15 and 192.168.21.33 are failing the auto detection at step 1. 192.168.21.30 succeeds in detecting the available commands, but fails to detect the wireless interface names. Because of that 192.168.21.30 automatically falls back to using brctl. Even if only one of the AP's in your network is polled using brctl the Mac addresses from other AP's will eventually show up (I think it discovers the entire network). That's why it might seem that the plugin is working fine for all your AP's. Although that sounds good, brctl also has it's downsides (described above).

Without playing around with the cli on your router/ap there is not much I can say about the underlying problem. Maybe ifconfig is not available on 192.168.21.30(?) The plugin does assume some standard linux commands to be available. The auto detection is only for hardware specific commands to support different router makes and models (or chipset actually).

The forced configuration could help in this case. At least we know the iwinfo command can be used on that AP (according to the log). All you would need to find are the correct interface names.

If you can figure out which commands would work to detect interfaces and/or commands on your specific hardware, then I can try to incorporate those in the plugin. The plugin supports many, but not all routers.

How I got to this analysis (using your log):

2019-07-26 19:27:55.648 (Présence) SSH subprocess for 192.168.21.15 failed with error (255):b'' [@step1]

The plugin also summarizes the settings it is going to use for each router/ap (after detection) in the debug log:

Hopefully this info is helpful for further troubleshooting

[Number8]

Thanks very much @ EscApe for this deep explanation. As I said in an previous post .15 and .33 are Off for the sake of troubleshouting the non reporting AP (Nano HD). There are indeed reporting as expected when they are On. I will go further in the troubleshooting process later on.

[Number8]

@ EscApe - ifconfig is available on Nano-HD (.30 the only one that fails to report connected users). Again this AP is the only one that does not feature wlanconfig.

Is there anything I could do to help to progess in this matter?
Bare in mind that I have a version that you specifically cut for me in order to support an older version of Domoticz. Thanhs a lot for your time and effort.

Bare in mind that I have a version that you specifically cut for me in order to support an older version of Domoticz.

Sorry, I do don’t remember what has been cut down for you. Maybe the most recent version will work for you now(?) A earlier version required python 3.5, but the current version doesn’t. Earlier version of Domoticz did not support writing a status message to the log, but I think the latest stable version does.

It’s hard to see what is really going on in your setup. The very first log showed .30 to fail at step 1, while the second log showed it failing step 2. I can’t tell what has changed in between. Why it completely fails on step 2 is also a mystery since ifconfig is available and returning data.

Best I can do is offer some support on the most recent version of the plugin in the latest stable version of Domoticz.
Without access to a nanohd the troubleshooting possibilities are limited.

We know .30 supports iwinfo and the interface name could be eth0.40 (you can also try other interfaces returned by ifconfig, like ra0, ra1 etc).
However, iwinfo is not in the preconfigured commands of the plugin yet. I will try to add it within the next couple of days. If the latest version already solves your issue then please let me know.

[Number8]

I will perfomr an in place upgrade of linux, then domoticz most probably next week. I will then upgrade iDectect. I'll keep you posted.

[Number8]

There is an interesting command - mca-dump that reports all connected clients. I just checked when a client is disconnected it is not reported right away. It works with all flavors of unifi APs I have. info is in sta-table towards the end of the log. This log reports two connected clients: 94:65:2d:a5:c9:c2 and e8:15:0e:4a:d5:b8
Fyi, the special cut you made for me is here: https://github.com/d-EScape/Domoticz_iD ... aintained)
Since log is more the 60K chracters I had to make it downlable.

Thats interesting indeed, but also a lot of information to parse using a simple plugin
Maybe there are other commands that can return only the associated clients. mca-dump might have some cli arguments(?)

iwinfo seemed available on the AP. Could you try these commands?

Code: Select all

iwinfo eth0.40 assoclist
iwinfo ra0 assoclist
iwinfo ra1 assoclist 
iwinfo ra2 assoclist 
iwinfo ra3 assoclist

... and maybe some other interface names you came across?

I will perfomr an in place upgrade of linux, then domoticz most probably next week. I will then upgrade iDectect. I'll keep you posted.

You should be able to use the master version of the plugin if you are running the latest stable version of Domoticz (you don't need the beta... better stay away from the beta for now, since there is a lot of work to be done on the new openzwave version)

[GarryJones]

Does anyone know which is the best product among those listed on this site?

You should post on a different thread, this post is dedicated to the the iDetect plugin

[Number8]

Agree However parsing JSON is not that complex especially when using Python.
mca-dump does not feature parameters. As for iwinfo here is the output that terminates with a segmentation fault, which is not very encouraging. There are several options:
iwinfo <device> info|scan|txpowerlist|freqlist|assoclist|countrylist|htmodelist
iwinfo <backend> phynae <section>.

Parsing json in python is not the problem. Building it in the plugin however would mean some of refactoring. The plugin does some minor cleanup but expects plain text. Most of the formatting is done on the router side using the router side shell scripts for the specific detection command.
I am trying to keep the plugin as straight forward as i can and import as little modules as possible. Adding more (json) parsing for one specific router/ap model would be a last resort.

Did you try iwinfo <device> assoclist ? Does it return data on some interfaces before throwing the segmentation fault?

Did you try iwinfo <device> assoclist ? Does it return data on some interfaces before throwing the segmentation fault?

Yes I tried iwinfo with no success. I'm currently trying to identify a command that would help us. I digging into /bin and /sbin. Are there others folders I should check? No luck so far
