Huawei B525 Python API

As mentioned in my last post I was tinkering with the Optus provided Huawei B525 router features.

I've now manged to implement a few commands and MAC filtering via a Python2 API.

You can read more here: https://github.com/jinxo13/HuaweiB525Router

So far I'm using it to:

1. Monitor my usage (I have a 500 GB cap)
2. Implement time scheduling for my kids devices

Here's my usage display in Grafana.
I run OpenHab and persist the data from the Router using the python API into an Influxdb database that Grafana uses. Here's my current Grafana display:

The API will work with the following model:

• B525s-65a

And may work with these others:

• B618s-22d
• B715s-23c

So far I've got MAC filtering implemented and a few API's to get traffic and other information.

Currently supported calls:

GET Requests
----------
getInfo()       => api/device/information
getTraffic()    => api/monitoring/traffic-statistics
getStats()      => api/monitoring/month_statistics")
getClients()    => api/wlan/host-list
getAllClients() => api/lan/HostInfo
getSignal()     => api/device/signal
getMacFilter()  => api/security/mac-filter
getLanSettings()=> api/dhcp/settings
getStaticHosts()=> api/dhcp/static-addr-info

POST Requests
-------------
doReboot()
doPowerOff()
setDenyMacFilter(macs)
setAllowMacFilter(macs)
setMacFilterOff()
setDhcpOff()
setDhcpOn(startAddress, endAddress, leaseTime=86400)
setLanAddress(ipaddress, netmask='255.255.255.0', url='homerouter.cpe')
setManualDns(primaryDns, secondaryDns='')
setAutomaticDns()
setAllLanSettings(settings)
setStaticHosts(settings)

Example usage is as follows:

router = B525Router(router='192.168.8.1', username='admin', password='xxx')

#Get Router information, example result below.
router.getInfo()

#Set DNS to Google
router.setManualDns('8.8.8.8', '8.8.4.4')

#Deny macs
router.setDenyMacFilter(['xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx','yy:yy:yy:yy:yy:yy', ...])

Router information returned from getInfo():
