access the list of attached devices via URL with json output

I found the READ.ME less helpful than I would have wanted, especially in terms of how to enter the commands.

Plus, it spewed a bunch of warnings about "certificate verification" which did not affect the results, but annoyed me a lot.

 

Loaded on Linux Mint 20.3 using pip3.

Set environment variables:

 

PYNETGEAR_PASSWORD="<router password>"

HOST=192.168.1.1

USER="admin"

URL="192.168.1.1"

 

command python3 -m pynetgear_enhanced attached_devices2 >dev.txt

 

I got it to work, but had to do this:

python3 -m pynetgear_enhanced --url 'https://routerlogin.net' --host "192.168.1.1" --user "admin" --password "<router password>" attached_devices2 >dev.txt 2>&1

The https in the URL did the trick.  It did not seem to pay attention to the PYNETGEAR_PASSWORD, HOST, USER and URL variables.  I tried setting them within a bash script and also exporting them.  The command worked for me on OpenSUSE, Ubuntu, Fedora, Mint, Rasbian, and Debian.

 

This uncovered another problem.  I have an RBR850 and two RBS850s.  When I log into the RBR, and go to attached devices, it only shows 1 device from one of the two RBSs, but that RBS has 10 devices attached to it.  When I log into the RBS directly, and select Connected Devices, it shows all 10 devices, but the IP address field is "-" for all except 1 device, and that's the 1 device that shows up in the RBR.   The pynetgear_ehnanced program shows the same, but expected given that logging directly into the RBB shows this.

 

The other RBS shows everything correctly, including IP addresses.  All 3 are running the latest firmware (4.6.14.3).

 

Note that all 10 of those devices are working fine - I can ping them.  Even pinging them doesn't cause the RBS to start showing their IP addresses.  I'm guessing this RBS is fubar and needs a reboot.  I'll do that and I'm assuming that will fix it.  

 

I really do appreciate your help and suggestions on this.
