Can't reach Fritz!Box

Hello there,

i’m new with home-assistant and my first steps are to found my devices. In a first solution, i use nmap. This was fine but i was happy to see, that i can use my Fritz!Box now.

But my problem is, that i get the message, that telnet is not reachable. Do you use telnet for this? This could not work with the firmware >=6.25.

Or is the documentation wrong, where i should use “asuswrt” as platform and not “fritz” like it’s called in the first sentence. But there i have to install a module - is the message on startup.

So what i have to do now to use my fritzbox? :slight_smile:

Thanks!

PS: Sorry for my english, german is my native language :wink:

Hi,

I am new to H-A and new to Python, too. And H-A looks so great, thanks to the developers.

After many hours of trial and error I found a solution:

In configuration.yaml

device_tracker: platform: fritz host: 192.168.178.1 username: xxx (Not sure if necessary) password: xxxxx (Not sure if necessary)

And you have to use a special version/fork of “Fritzconnection” (for Python3). You can find it here: https://bitbucket.org/Fettlaus/fritzconnection/downloads

I just replaced the files in /usr/local/lib/python3.4/dist-packages/fritzconnection. Not sure if it is the right way, but now it is working :smiley:

(I have a Fritzbox 7490 (newest Firmware), Raspberry Pi with Jessie)
