fritz-box

Promise-based JavaScript FRITZ!Box API.

Examples

Basic

import FritzBox from 'fritz-box'

const box = new FritzBox({
	host: 'fritz.box',
	password: '...',
	username: '...'
})

const run = async () => {
	await box.getSession()
	const settings = await box.getGuestWLAN()
	settings.active = true
	settings.ssid = 'Example!'
	await box.setGuestWLAN(settings)
	console.log(await box.overview())
}

run()

IFTTT Notify

This will activate the guest WLAN and emit a IFTTT Maker channel notify event. If you create the fitting IFTTT recipe, this snippet should send you the WLAN password right to your smartphone.

import FritzBox from 'fritz-box'
import IFTTT from 'maker-ifttt'

const box = new FritzBox({
	host: 'fritz.box',
	password: '...',
	username: '...'
})
const maker = new IFTTT('IFTTT_MAKER_TOKEN')

const run = async () => {
	// generate a random 8-digit hex password
	const newPassword = crypto.randomBytes(4).toString('hex');

	// sign-in
	await box.getSession()

	// get current guest WLAN settings
	const settings = await box.getGuestWLAN()

	// set new password & turn on guest WLAN
	settings.key = newPassword
	settings.active = true
	await box.setGuestWLAN(settings)

	// send a message to IFTTT (optional)
	maker.triggerEvent('notify', `Guest WLAN password is ${password}.`, response =>
		response.on('data', chunk =>
			console.info('Response: ' + chunk)
		)
	)
}

run()
