huawei-lte-api

API For huawei LAN/WAN LTE Modems, you can use this to simply send SMS, get information about your internet usage, signal, and tons of other stuff

Tested on:

3G/LTE Routers:

• Huawei B310s-22
• Huawei B315s-22
• Huawei B525s-23a
• Huawei B525s-65a
• Huawei B715s-23c
• Huawei E5186s-22a
• Huawei B528s
• Huawei B535-232
• Huawei B818-263

3G/LTE USB sticks:

(Device must support NETWork mode aka. "HiLink" version, it wont work with serial mode)

• Huawei E3131
• Huawei E3531
• Huawei E3372

5G Routers:

• Huawei 5G CPE Pro 2 (H122-373)

(probably will work for other Huawei LTE devices too)

Will NOT work on:

LTE Routers:

• Huawei B2368-22 (Incompatible firmware, testing device needed!)
• Huawei B593s-22 (Incompatible firmware, testing device needed!)

Installation

PIP (pip3 on some distros)

$ pip install huawei-lte-api

Repository

You can also use these repositories maintained by me

Debian and derivates

Add repository by running these commands

$ wget -O- https://repository.salamek.cz/deb/salamek.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/salamek-archive-keyring.gpg
$ echo "deb     [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/salamek-archive-keyring.gpg] https://repository.salamek.cz/deb/pub all main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/salamek.cz.list

And then you can install a package python3-huawei-lte-api

$ apt update && apt install python3-huawei-lte-api

Archlinux

Add repository by adding this at end of file /etc/pacman.conf

[salamek]
Server = https://repository.salamek.cz/arch/pub/any
SigLevel = Optional

and then install by running

$ pacman -Sy python-huawei-lte-api

Gentoo

$ emerge dev-python/huawei-lte-api

Usage

from huawei_lte_api.Client import Client
from huawei_lte_api.Connection import Connection

# with Connection('http://192.168.8.1/') as connection: For limited access, I have valid credentials no need for limited access
with Connection('http://admin:MY_SUPER_TRUPER_PASSWORD@192.168.8.1/') as connection:
    client = Client(connection) # This just simplifies access to separate API groups, you can use device = Device(connection) if you want

    print(client.device.signal())  # Can be accessed without authorization
    print(client.device.information())  # Needs valid authorization, will throw exception if invalid credentials are passed in URL


# For more API calls just look on code in the huawei_lte_api/api folder, there is no separate DOC yet
