Edit file plugin.py there you can change the portnumber if needed. Just search for port.

I it's in 2 places, a global variable in the top of the script would been nice or a field in the settings

@Varzir

I guess this has been asked before but please let us change the port to use.

It should already work if you specify the host as host:port

A complex server configuration could for example be

Code: Select all

[email protected]:2022=brctl

Which would mean: connect to my router with IP address 192.168.0.1 on port 2022 with username 'admin' and force 'brctl' detection method.

Ran it manually and I got a list of MAC addresses.

First thing to check if things work fine on the command line but not in the plugin is if they are using the same key-based authentication. You might have configured authentication from the pi (normal) userprofile, while Domoticz is running as root be default

It was what I did, I connected with ssh key from my raspberry pi(domoticz) to my router software using the RPi root account and ran the command I found in the plugin but I'm not that good at coding/scripting I couldn't find any more command or understand how it tries to use list of MAC addresses.

Edit: I got it to add to the address filed username@<ip>:<port>=arp

Should I add this to the WiFi router Ip address field?

Yes

Before getting into the code that runs on the router let’s first get the connection working. From the piece of logging you sent before it seems like it is not even connecting (yet). If you get it working with the correct port please run it in debug mode and share the complete log of the plugin. Make sure you use the unaltered plugin (before your own changes) by copying a fresh version.

Edit: you don’t need to use all the parameters in my example. If you only want to specify ip and port you can just enter something like 192.168.0.1:2022

I also use 3 Unify AP and have only one Anyhome button.
In Hardware page of Domoticz i use al 3 ip-adresses for Wifi Router Ip-adres like: 192.168.0.201,192.168.0.202,192.168.0.203

Now it scans al 3 AP without any problems.

Indeed I had the idea to try this after posting!

You maybe missed my editing, It's working now with using arp.

4. If you happen to find a (proprietary Unifi) command on the AP's that returns all connected Mac addresses on all AP's in a network/mesh from one command on one AP then I can add it to the plugin (has to be something quicker and more reliable than ARP).

I would go with option 1

I did use option 1. I doubt that one AP can report all connected MAC addresses of all AP's, if it exists it would be most probably the role of the controller.

Good day!
I use this plugin with mikrotik and everything was fine until I connected capsman to expand the coverage area. Plugin stopped working. Can anyone have experience using a plugin with capsman on mikrotik?

It complains about SSH client not be found but nothing changed on the system (Synology) and SSH functions as normal.
I'm searching and checking settings but can not find anything wrong, any ideas?

@schumi2004
Could this be caused by the Synology packaging? Not finding the ssh binary seems like an OS related issue. Maybe the search path has changed(?) I just tried the latest Domoticz beta on my raspberry and the plugin is still working without any issues.

I doubt it's a Synology package issue but I will do some debugging later this evening. If I found something I will report back.

@EscApe
It looks like something was wrong in build 4.10602 because after installing version 4.10603 everything is fine again.

Greetings.

I had to change my phone due to damage, but when I was trying to update my new mac address there was a problem with my hardware.
Tried to update with git pull but the same.
SO I removed it, removes the ssh key and redid the key and tried to reinstall the plugin.

But I am still getting the red box with Problem adding hardware.

Nothing shows up in the logs about what kind of problem it is.

Have anyone seen this before ??

Nm on my error.
Its something wrong with my db file.
Reinstalled Domoticz and added the dB file and I get the same error.
So I'm going to rebuild everything from scratch.
Got my scripts saved and a list of my virtual switches.

I have recently got an Asus AC66U router. I put the merlin firmware on it and enabled SSH.
First I used it as a dump AP and the script worked perfect. But now I've change my network setup and use the Asus router as main router. Since then it doesn't work anymore.

I logged in with SSH on my router with the same login information and executed wl assoclist. This works fine. I get a list of MAC addresses connected. But for some reason the script does not detect the 'capabilities'.
I tried forcing with 192.168.0.1=wl but that respons in an error stating the wl command is not found. Bit strange as it works fine when executed manually.

I think the script is not detecting the right interfaces or something. When I run the command from the script, my router reports :

Code: Select all

admin@RT-AC66U_B1-DB30:/tmp/home/root# ifconfig | cut -d ' ' -f1| tr ':' '\n' | grep -E '^eth|^wlan'
eth0
eth1
eth2

so it finds 3 eth, but no wlan.

Anyone knows what to do?

Could you try the command including the sshpass wrapper (full syntax is in the log on the 13th line) to make sure sshpass is installed and working? Otherwise my second guess would be a typo in the password(?) Unfortunately I could not get more informative logging from the subprocess routine.

I'm running on a raspberry pi and have sshpass installed. I also read out an OpenWRT router with your plugin and that works perfect.
The funny thing is that it worked perfectly when running as a dump AP, but now as full-AP not anymore. I tried inputting my password again, but the same thing happens. Also completely removed the plugin and got a fresh copy.

This is my output.

Something else I noticed: "SSH subprocess for 192.168.0.1 failed with error (255)"
But I have no idea what that means.

-edit-

I found the problem. I tried setting up SSH with key verification instead of password. But the method of creating keys would not allow me to ssh from the root account of my pi to the account of my router. Apparently the fingerprint was changed, probably due to a firmware switch on my router.

Posted: **Thursday 13 June 2019 20:26**

The 255 error is to generic to really troubleshoot, but the python subproces doesn't provide much more

I'm running Merlin on my AC86u (primary router/ap) and have no such issues. Most of the time problems like this are caused by authentication issues or in rarer cases timeouts. Since the process only took 300ms timeouts are unlikely. I'm just guessing here: did you previously configure ssh key based authentication for the user profile that is running Domoticz? Maybe a now invalid user key messes things up or maybe the host key has changed so the connection is no longer trusted(?) Did you try the command under the root user profile (which is running Domotica according to your log)? That might be more informative.

Found the problem. Thanks for thinking along with me

The SSH fingerprint changed. Probably because I switched back to official firmware as a test and than back to Merlin.

I took the 'trouble' to setup an ssh-key now. Was much easier then I thought it would be.
