[RBR50 voxel] How to create and (periodically) export devices (wifi) connections log?
Hello, I'm using Voxel on my RBR50 and I wanted a way to log all devices connection/disconnections on my wifi network (pretty much in style of what I could do with Google Wifi + IFTTT) but I couldn...
Thanks CrimpOn!
I did post on SNB (exact same text as here) but got 0 replies, so I decided to post here to see if, with more people, I can get a response (and I was right, as you replied!).
I really got disappointed with the orbi software quality and functions. I had Google Wifi before (bought the Orbi to get more range) and it was much more user friendly and less "monetizer". It could even work with IFTTT...

There is a method to extract the entire Attached Devices page in one text string: http://<ip of router>/DEV_device_info.htm
This produces a web page conisting of a header and then one string for each device delimited by {.....},[space]
I copied it into a Word document and replaced "}, {" with "}^p{". Here's a sample of what it produced:
{ "ip":"192.168.1.5", "mac":"A0:04:60:0D:96:FA", "contype":"5G", "attachtype":"2", "devtype":"0", "devtype_name":"Router", "model":"Netgear Orbi RBS50", "name":"RBS50 Sat","accsta":"0", "conn_orbi_name":"DickRBR50", "conn_orbi_mac":"A0:04:60:1C:02:39", "backhaul_sta":"Good", "ledstate":"0", "led_func":"0", "sync_btn":"0", "uprate":"0.00", "downrate":"0.00", "voice_orbi":"0", "voice_lwauserid":"", "ceiling_power":"not support", "module_name":"RBS50" }
{ "ip":"192.168.1.58", "mac":"EC:71:DB:8A:1E:90", "contype":"wired", "attachtype":"1", "devtype":"25", "devtype_name":"Camera", "model":"Reolink RLS-420-5mp", "name":"Pickup Cam","accsta":"0", "conn_orbi_name":"Orbi Voice Garage", "conn_orbi_mac":"14:59:C0:94:BC:EA", "backhaul_sta":"Good", "ledstate":"0", "led_func":"0", "sync_btn":"0", "uprate":"0.00", "downrate":"0.00", "voice_orbi":"0", "voice_lwauserid":"", "ceiling_power":"not support", "module_name":"" }
You could set up a cron job on some machine to scrape this page every so often, then use a program to parse it and update a database with entries for 1st time seen, last time seen, etc.
I found this in a Python script that was supposed to extract the list of attached devices. There's a copy of the script at:
