Requested by reviewer jokob-sk in PR #1592.
Changes:
- Replace generic author "NetAlertX Community" with @sebingel
(README.md:204)
- Update release date from January 2026 to April 2026
(README.md:205)
- Remove license field from version section (README.md:206)
Project license is defined at repository level and does not need
to be repeated in individual plugin READMEs.
- Update repository link from jokob-sk/NetAlertX to netalertx/NetAlertX
(README.md:211)
The project was transferred to the netalertx organisation; the
canonical URL is now github.com/netalertx/NetAlertX.
The device information table in README.md incorrectly stated that the
Connection Status field ("Active"/"Inactive") maps to devVendor in the
devices table. In reality, watchedValue2 has no mapped_to_column entry
in config.json, meaning the value is stored only in the plugin's own
Plugins_FRITZBOX table and never promoted to the Devices table. A user
following the documentation to filter or display Connection Status via
devVendor would find no data there.
Changes:
- Correct the "Mapped To" column for Connection Status (README.md:86)
Changed from "`devVendor` (shown as vendor field)" to "Plugin table
only (not mapped to device fields)" to accurately reflect config.json
behavior.
Users now have a correct expectation: Connection Status is visible in
the Fritz!Box plugin view but not in standard device columns. No
functional code was changed.
NetAlertX had no native support for discovering devices connected to
Fritz!Box routers. Users relying on Fritz!Box as their primary home
router had to use generic network scanning (ARP/ICMP), missing
Fritz!Box-specific details like interface type (WiFi/LAN) and
connection status per device.
Changes:
- Add plugin implementation (front/plugins/fritzbox/fritzbox.py)
Queries all hosts via FritzHosts TR-064 service, normalizes MACs,
maps interface types (802.11→WiFi, Ethernet→LAN), and writes results
to CurrentScan via Plugin_Objects. Supports filtering to active-only
devices and optional guest WiFi monitoring via a synthetic AP device
with a deterministic locally-administered MAC (02:xx derived from
Fritz!Box MAC via MD5).
- Add plugin configuration (front/plugins/fritzbox/config.json)
Defines plugin_type "device_scanner" with settings for host, port,
credentials, guest WiFi reporting, and active-only filtering.
Maps scan columns to CurrentScan fields (scanMac, scanLastIP, scanName,
scanType). Default schedule: every 5 minutes.
- Add plugin documentation (front/plugins/fritzbox/README.md)
Covers TR-064 protocol basics, quick setup guide, all settings with
defaults, troubleshooting for common issues (connection refused, auth
failures, no devices found), and technical details.
- Add fritzconnection>=1.15.1 dependency (requirements.txt)
Required Python library for TR-064 communication with Fritz!Box.
- Add test suite (test/plugins/test_fritzbox.py:1-298)
298 lines covering get_connected_devices (active filtering, MAC
normalization, interface mapping, error resilience), check_guest_wifi_status
(service detection, SSID-based guest detection, fallback behavior), and
create_guest_wifi_device (deterministic MAC generation, locally-administered
bit, fallback MAC, regression anchor with precomputed hash).
Users can now scan Fritz!Box-connected devices natively, seeing per-device
connection status and interface type directly in NetAlertX. Guest WiFi
monitoring provides visibility into guest network state. The plugin
defaults to HTTPS on port 49443 with active-only filtering enabled.
