Python plugin: Presence detection from wireless router

DarkAllMan · Post by **DarkAllMan** » Wednesday 08 April 2020 12:16

I updated today to the latest version (also latest beta).
But on startup I still get message: (iDetect) Missing paramiko module required for ssh. Install it using: sudo pip3 install paramiko

Code: Select all

Version: 2020.1
Build Hash: 77b93f111
Compile Date: 2020-03-22 16:45:56
dzVents Version: 3.0.1
Python Version: 3.6.9 (default, Nov 7 2019, 10:44:02) [GCC 8.3.0]

Domoticz using python 3.6.9, but paramiko is installed in python 3.5

Code: Select all

Requirement already satisfied: paramiko in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (2.7.1)
Requirement already satisfied: bcrypt>=3.1.3 in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (from paramiko) (3.1.7)

Requirement already satisfied: pycparser in /usr/local/lib/python3.5/site-packages (from cffi>=1.1->bcrypt>=3.1.3->paramiko) (2.20)

How can I solve this issue?

@DarkAllMan

If you update python then you will have to reinstall the required modules for that python version. Python does not automatically install the modules for the newer version.

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install requests paramiko

Edit: You already tried that... so you are probably using separate python environments and have to make sure you are in the 3.6 environment when doing the pip3 install

I had to update pip, then rerun paramiko install and that worked!

Microtik can not be auto detected because it uses a proprietary operating system called routerOS. The plugin offers support for routeros, by specifying the tracker type:

Code: Select all

192.168.24.10#type=routeros

In addition there are two alternative tracker types:
routeros-arp and routeros-capsman (requires capsman installed on router)

When I disable debugging after having it enabled for some time, Domoticz hangs? Anyone else with this problem?

Domoticz might hang if a connection was not closed (in time) while shutting down a plugin. Changing any setting will restart the plugin. Maybe it takes longer than usual to terminate the connection in your setup. Your original post said you where seeing time-outs on poll-connections. Has this been solved and are you sure Domoticz is still hanging when stopping/restaring the plugin?

Geitje · Post by **Geitje** » Wednesday 15 April 2020 10:00

Thanks for you reply. Domoticz restarts fine, and the hangs happens not always.

Yeah the time-outs are still coming sometimes quite a lot. The delay for devices going to offline for is acceptable: about 8 mins.
However, I still think the Orbi sometimes needs some more time to answer the requests, more than 8 secs. I know from the Orbi webUI that the router needs quite a long time to build the device list (like 10 seconds or more). The number of LAN devices I have has increased past months. Also I started to use a feature called Netgear Armor, that also uses processing power from the Orbi. Would it be possible to make the time-out configurable?

But i can login to microtik from rapberry pi with these creditionals
- from root shell
-from pi shell

Code: Select all
192.168.24.10#type=routeros
In addition there are two alternative tracker types:

But i can login to microtik from rapberry pi with these creditionals
- from root shell

Strange ... can you try setting a tracker specific password this way:

Code: Select all

192.168.24.10#type=routeros&user=<youruser>&password=<yourpw>

Other things to check out:
- Remove any special characters from the routers ssh password (to rule them out as a possible cause)
- Some routers only allow specific usernames to connect to ssh, like 'admin'

Yeah the time-outs are still coming sometimes quite a lot. The delay for devices going to offline for is acceptable: about 8 mins.
However, I still think the Orbi sometimes needs some more time to answer the requests, more than 8 secs. I know from the Orbi webUI that the router needs quite a long time to build the device list (like 10 seconds or more). The number of LAN devices I have has increased past months. Also I started to use a feature called Netgear Armor, that also uses processing power from the Orbi. Would it be possible to make the time-out configurable?

It would be great if someone who actually uses an Orbi could troubleshoot this. Maybe the tracker need some more error handling or there might even be a better way to query an orby(?)

Could you try increasing the hard coded timeout in the plugin code? It's on line 20 of http_orbi.py (but I guess you already knew that;-))

Code: Select all

http_response = self.http_session.get(self.orbi_url, verify=False, timeout=8)

If a longer timeout solves this issue, then it still might not be the best solution to permanently increase it. A lot of waiting connections could cause Domoticz to hang when trying to stop the plugin.

Hi, first of all, I like this plugin very much as it seems more reliable then the other scripts (well, at least in my home). The thing is, I keep getting errors starting somewhere during the night:

Automatically restarting the plugin using the "Data Timeout" setting, doesn't fix it. Updating the plugin settings (without actually changing anything) does.

Is this a known error with (hopefully) a known workaround?

Regards.

Regards.

It is not a known issue and 'Error reading SSH protocol banner' is a generic error which could mean anything. The "data timeout" will not affect to ssh connections, so you can leave that off.

There are a few tings you can check/try to trouble shoot.
- is there more information in the (debug) log around the time these errors start appearing? (these errors in the morning might be a symptom instead of a cause)
- is there a heavy network load or cpu load on the raspberry or router at night?
- are there (maintenance) tasks that reset network interfaces of services in the raspberry, router or network?
- set the poll interval a bit higher for a couple of days. Do the problems go away? Then maybe something is getting overloaded with waiting connections (if it takes > 10 seconds do do something every 10 seconds ...)

I wil try this sometime next week, and report back! Right now I have 25-30 time-outs reported a day, I will check it will be less when time-out increases.

You could also try key-based authentication as described on https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Use_SSH_ ... key_login)
Make sure you configure it for the raspberry user that is running Domoticz (probably root).

I installed/configured the plugin last wednesday. In the night to thursday my Domoticz became unresponsive because of this.
Yesterday I decreased the poll to 10 min but still after a couple of hours SSH errors.
SSH Could not connect (using password). Exception: Authentication timeout.
It begins with SSH failed with exception: Timeout opening channel. and then every poll SSH Could not connect (using password). Exception: Authentication timeout.
I disabled the plugin so that my Domoticz still keeps working. Any idea why after a while it starts the SSH time out issues?

I disabled the plugin so that my Domoticz still keeps working. Any idea why after a while it starts the SSH time out issues?

I have never seen these timeouts in my setup, but there was another similar report recently. Maybe something has changed in Domoticz/linux/paramiko??
Can you provide the following information, so I can investigate?
- Router make and model and firmware version
- Domoticz version
- Linux Version
- Python and Paramiko version
A debug log might also offer more information

Hi,

I've written some code to make iDetect work with the TP-link Omada WiFi controller. I've successfully tested it against Omada version 3.2.6 on Linux.

Note that although newly connected devices are detected quickly, devices that disconnect from WiFi remain up to 5 minutes in the Omada clients table for some reason. This is an Omada thing and I haven't found a solution for it yet.

I hope the code is useful

Regards,
Erik
