FritzBox Cable - Channel Information / Modulation

[leex279]

As I see now there are no information about the channels/modulation indexed. Would be nice to add this too.

Its very useful if you have problems with bad internet quality and can see what is changing and provide information to your provider (currently have this problem).

Hi,

This could be added. I would need the output of the json response. If you use the browser dev tools you should be able to retrieve them. Also the params which are used to query this data.

Hi,

nice and thanks for the fast reply :)

I have a litte JS at the moment to extract the upload modulation, if that helps you. Also added the JSON. You can find the 2 files here: https://github.com/leex279/fritzbox-channel/tree/main

Let me know if u need anything else :)

Thanks

[bb-Ricardo]

well, exactly what I needed!

how familiar are you with python?

You could add the data to request here: https://github.com/bb-Ricardo/fritzinfluxdb/blob/main/fritzinfluxdb/classes/fritzbox/service_definitions/connection_info.py

I scripted some little things but not very much. But I think I can figure out.

Seems this is working a basic level. I get the values in the log file and can keep go on: Is there a better way to debug or just like I did with: ./fritzinfluxdb.py -v | grep -A5 -B5 "channelDs"

That's a good start. I probably have aome time next week to look into it. Which values would be good to monitor? Or just all of them and add them to a dashboard?

[leex279]

Sounds good :). I think it would be nice to have all but for my current problem I want to visualize the modulation (type/QAM) and get a stacked bar chart for that, like this:

So I can easyli see how often the modulation is changing (according to the vodafone technical guy it should always stay at 64 for all 4 channels :)). In my case just the Upload-Channels are a problem (called "Rückwegstörung").

Hi @leex279,

I added the parsing of the data to the "next-release" branch. Can you check out this branch and see if the parsing of the data works?

If it works then only the addition to the system dashboard would be needed.

Sorry for not working on this. It is currently blocked by this issue https://github.com/bb-Ricardo/fritzinfluxdb/issues/114. I need to find a good way forward with influxDB as I don't like to repeat everything once again.

Any ideas from your side?
