WiFi devices presence check

Posted: Tuesday 11 February 2014 19:57

This weekend I was busy with my DD-WRT WiFi routers (TP Link and WRT 54G router) and Raspberry Pi to determine if somebody is at home (detecting WiFi of Cell Phones). See also http://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopic ... snmp#p6999. All credits are for SweetPants (http://www.domoticz.com/forum/memberlis ... ofile&u=96)! I have only changed the python file to be able to read a json file with all phones, tables, etc.

I made a bash file which runs every 1 minute from a cron job (sudo crontab -e):
* * * * * /home/pi/script/wifi_presence_check.sh

The bash file looks like (wifi_presence_check.sh):

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
#
#$HOME/signalplus.py -i <ip_router> -c <community_string> -f  <JSON_file_with_MAC_addresses> --verbose >> /tmp/wifi_presence_check.log &

sudo python /home/pi/script/wifi_presence_check.py -i 192.168.178.254 -c public -f /home/pi/script/wifi_devices.json --verbose >> /tmp/wifi_presence_check.log &
My json file looks like (wifi_devices.json):

Code: Select all

{

	"83:63:07:05:38:29": {
		"Vendor": "BlackBerry",
		"Type": "Phone",
		"Model": "Torch",
		"Owner": "Pietje",
		"Idx": 83
	},

.......

	"F8:FA:51:67:C2:91": {
		"Vendor": "Apple",
		"Type": "Tablet",
		"Model": "iPad Mini",
		"Owner": "Frits",
		"Idx": 89
	}

}
My python script looks like (wifi_presence_check.py):

Hello,

I found the above quite interesting and have been working on and off to make some additions to suit me. The result I put on github should others want to use it. I know there are some issues and I might not address them, but it might give others some ideas.

Below contents of the README, should explain most.

THANKS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Thanks and credits go out to the below people on the Domoticz Forum (http://www.domoticz.com/forum/index.php), from which I generously borrowed most of their work: Purpose
I wanted a way to let Domoticz know when a person in my household (defined by a mobile device) was inside or close by and trigger switches in Domoticz based on that. I found a couple of script doing this using SNMP on the Domoticz forums. However I have a couple of routers I need to look at as devices can switch between them and I do not want switches to go on and of each time. So I combined what suited me best from various scripts, added some additions of my own and wrote a little documentation.

So now this is a script fed by 2 input files (for router and mobile device details) running as a makeshift daemon checking SNMP details every x seconds.

TODO
  • * Add option to ignore location switching if not used
    * Build in check for community string in SNMP version <3
    * General input validation on parameters received from command line and JSON files, router file done in v1.10
    * Look into way results of SNMP walk are gathered as I put a dirty counter hack in
    * Look at way to prevent devices that reconnect from triggering presence reporting
    * Add MAC intruder detections, i.e. a MAC not known in JSON input triggers Domoticz switch
SETUP
* Disclaimer
  • - I have this script running for a couple of weeks already without issues. That being said I cannot guarentee that it will work in other situations and setups. Please take that into account when attempting to use this.
    - I am fine for anyone to use or modify this script as long as no money is made and the creators are mentioned.
* Pre-requisits
  • - This script is not compatible with python 3 (yet) and is tested on python 2.7
    - This scripts assumes you have a SNMP capable [dd-wrt router](http://dd-wrt.com/). It's tested with various dd-wrt versions on various routers. To turn it on in the dd-wrt GUI go to *"services" tab, enable SNMP, set it up like you want and hit "Save" and "Apply Settings"*
    - To run on RPI with standard Domoticz image add these packages from a shell prompt : *sudo apt-get install python snmp libsnmp-python*
* Configuration
- check_device_online.py takes the following parameters:

Code: Select all

   [-h]                         -> Display help

EXECUTION
This script is scheduled through a crontab entry (if preferred through a wrapper script). My crontab entry for a script looks like this:

Code: Select all

* * * * * /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/wifi_presence_check.sh
The contents of that script for me are:

Code: Select all

python /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/wifi_presence_check.py -d <ip>:<port> -s 20 -f /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/wifi_devices.json -r /home/pi/domoticz/scripts/snmp_routers.json | tee -a /home/pi/domoticz/log/wifi_presence_check.log


Individual files on GitHub which will be updated when changes are made here: Have fun!

What goes in this entry of the config json?

"RequestString" -> SNMP query string for value to be returned from router (mandatory, script will exit without it)

From looking at the script, it appears just to be doing a snmp walk, so there should be no particular requeststring.

Re: WiFi devices presence check

Hi,

In the SNMP walk function the request string, be it somewhat tricky, is put in the "oid" value:
...
oid = keys[2]
...

This is used to get the required values from the router:
...
results_objs = netsnmp.VarList(netsnmp.Varbind(oid))
session.walk(results_objs)
...

From http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Si ... t_Protocol this request string returns:
.1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.255.3.54.1.3.32.1.4.1 Associated MAC text 00:ff:as:dd:44:55

So it is used to query the specific MAC addresses associated with the router.

Cool, I am going to look into this since I also have a dd-wrt router.

Are there any advantages compared to the ip-check done by ChopperRob?

Maybe more robust, less depended on phone state?

Would be nice to state them in the readme so people know why they should put in the effort ;)

What I did with my dd-wrt router:
1. automatic login with ssh
2. from python script:

Code: Select all

currentstate = subprocess.call('ssh [email protected] -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa "wl assoclist" | sed -e \'s/assoclist[[:space:]]//g\' | grep -q '+ device + ' > /dev/null', shell=True)
192.168.1.1 is my dd-wrt router
with wl assoclist I can get list of mac addressess of devices online on wlan.

Its based on the script on wiki. I just replaced the line calling ping and instead of ip i'm giving mac address as parameter.

That's nice.

Code: Select all

wl assoclist
also seems to work on my WRT54GL with Tomato firmware.
Would you mind sharing your whole Python script?

Is the behaviour of that output different than pinging a device?

Its exactly the same script what is in the presence detection wiki page.

I just replaced one line:

Code: Select all

...
currentstate = subprocess.call('ping -q -c1 -W 1 '+ device + ' > /dev/null', shell=True)
...
with this:

Code: Select all

...
currentstate = subprocess.call('ssh [email protected] -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa "wl assoclist" | sed -e \'s/assoclist[[:space:]]//g\' | grep -q '+ device + ' > /dev/null', shell=True)
...
and in cron I have one line per device I want to monitor:

Code: Select all

0 * * * * /home/user/domoticz/scripts/lua/check_device_online.py 01:23:45:67:89:0A 21 10 120

I'm currently using this with my dd-wrt router:

Code: Select all

currentstate = subprocess.call('curl -u user:password http://192.168.1.1/Status_Lan.live.asp | awk -F \'arp_table:: \' \'{print $2}\' | awk -F \'}\' \'{print $1}\' | grep -i -q ' + device + ' > /dev/null', shell=True)
Its using http ui since using ssh was causing much overhead(cpu usage). Works well at least with: DD-WRT v3.0-r29059 std (02/09/16)
