`fritzconnection --reconnect` and `fritzstatus` seems to use a no longer existing service name

[calestyo]

Hey.

At least on my 7590 AX with version 8.0 it says:

$ fritzconnection -e -u foo -p bar --reconnect

fritzconnection v1.14.0
FRITZ!Box 7590 AX at https://cerf
FRITZ!OS: 8.0

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fritzconnection/core/fritzconnection.py", line 453, in call_action
    service = self.device_manager.services[service_name]
              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
KeyError: 'WANIPConn1'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/fritzconnection", line 8, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())
             ^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fritzconnection/cli/fritzinspection.py", line 167, in main

    run_inspector(inspector, args)
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fritzconnection/cli/fritzinspection.py", line 150, in run_inspector
    inspector.fc.reconnect()
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fritzconnection/core/fritzconnection.py", line 507, in reconnect
    self.call_action("WANIPConn1", "ForceTermination")

    raise FritzServiceError(f'unknown service: "{service_name}"')
fritzconnection.core.exceptions.FritzServiceError: unknown service: "WANIPConn1"

There are however the following commands shown in introspection:

Service:            WANPPPConnection1
Action:             ForceTermination
Parameters:

    Name                                  direction     data type
...
Service:            WANIPConnection1
Action:             ForceTermination
Parameters:

    Name                                  direction     data type

So I guess WANIPConn1 was simply renamed to WANIPConnection1?

---

Similarly:

$ fritzstatus -e -u foo -p bar 

fritzconnection v1.14.0
FRITZ!Box 7590 AX at https://cerf
FRITZ!OS: 8.0

FritzStatus:

    is linked             : unsupported attribute "is_linked"
    is connected          : unsupported attribute "is_connected"
    external ip (v4)      : unsupported attribute "external_ip"
    external ip (v6)      : unsupported attribute "external_ipv6"
    internal ipv6-prefix  : unsupported attribute "ipv6_prefix"
    uptime                : unsupported attribute "str_uptime"
    bytes send            : unsupported attribute "bytes_sent"
    bytes received        : unsupported attribute "bytes_received"
    max. bit rate         : unsupported attribute "str_max_bit_rate"

Looking in the code, these seem to use WANIPConn (**note that here the code doesn't have the trailing 1 as above) but my FritzBox shows e.g. the following commands in introspection, e.g. for the external IP:

Service:            WANPPPConnection1
Action:             GetExternalIPAddress
Parameters:

    Name                                  direction     data type

    NewExternalIPAddress                     out ->     string
...
Service:            WANIPConnection1
Action:             GetExternalIPAddress
Parameters:

    Name                                  direction     data type

    NewExternalIPAddress                     out ->     string

So might be named differently in newer firmwares?

Thanks,
Chris.

Way back in older OS versions there have been the two Services WANIPConn1 and WANIPConnection1 with partly overlapping functionality. So it could be that the description for WANIPConn1 has been silently removed in OS 8 by AVM. If this is the case there should be a fix, because this is a breaking change in FritzOS. This is not to hard, so hopefully I can care about it soon.

Would a complete dump of fritzconnection -c help you?

It also seems that some of the properties might have changed. In some small Python test prog using the lib, I couldn’t find the external IPv6 address at all, and the IPv4 only in WANPPPConnection1 not WANIPConnection1.

[calestyo]

$ ptpython3
>>> import fritzconnection
>>> fc = fritzconnection.FritzConnection(address="foo",password="bar",user="baz")

I think currently in the code you use X_AVM_DE_GetExternalIPv6Address,... but that no longer seems to exist:

>>> fc.call_action(service_name="WANIPConnection1",action_name="X_AVM_DE_GetExternalIPv6Address")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/fritzconnection/core/fritzconnection.py", line 456, in call_action

           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    raise exception(message)
fritzconnection.core.exceptions.FritzActionError: UPnPError:

Neither that:

>>> fc.call_action(service_name="WANIPConnection1",action_name="GetExternalIPAddress")
{'NewExternalIPAddress': ''}

I found the external IPv4 in WANPPPConnection1:

>>> fc.call_action(service_name="WANPPPConnection1",action_name="GetInfo")
{'NewEnable': True, 'NewConnectionStatus': 'Connected', 'NewPossibleConnectionTypes': 'IP_Routed, IP_Bridged', 'NewConnectionType': 'IP_Routed', 'NewName': 'internet', 'NewUptime': 161144, 'NewUpstreamMaxBitRate': 36294339, 'NewDownstreamMaxBitRate': 29347045, 'NewLastConnectionError': 'ERROR_NONE', 'NewIdleDisconnectTime': 0, 'NewRSIPAvailable': False, 'NewUserName': 'foobar@setup.t-online.de', 'NewNATEnabled': True, 'NewExternalIPAddress': '1.2.3.4', 'NewDNSServers': '2003:180:2:7000::53, 2003:180:2:9000::53,217.237.151.115,217.237.148.102', 'NewMACAddress': '11:22:33:44:55:66', 'NewConnectionTrigger': 'AlwaysOn', 'NewLastAuthErrorInfo': '', 'NewMaxCharsUsername': 128, 'NewMinCharsUsername': 3, 'NewAllowedCharsUsername': '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-._@()#/%[]{}*+§$&=?!:;,', 'NewMaxCharsPassword': 64, 'NewMinCharsPassword': 3, 'NewAllowedCharsPassword': '0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz-._@()#/%[]{}*+§$&=?!:;,', 'NewTransportType': 'PPPoE', 'NewRouteProtocolRx': 'Off', 'NewPPPoEServiceName': '', 'NewRemoteIPAddress': '', 'NewPPPoEACName': 'MUNJ10', 'NewDNSEnabled': True, 'NewDNSOverrideAllowed': True}

But not in the counterpart in WANIPConnection1:

>>> fc.call_action(service_name="WANIPConnection1",action_name="GetInfo")
{'NewEnable': True, 'NewConnectionStatus': 'Connecting', 'NewPossibleConnectionTypes': 'IP_Routed, IP_Bridged', 'NewConnectionType': 'IP_Routed', 'NewName': 'mstv', 'NewUptime': 0, 'NewLastConnectionError': 'ERROR_NONE', 'NewRSIPAvailable': False, 'NewNATEnabled': True, 'NewExternalIPAddress': '', 'NewDNSServers': '0.0.0.0, 0.0.0.0', 'NewMACAddress': '11:22:33:99:88:77', 'NewConnectionTrigger': 'AlwaysOn', 'NewRouteProtocolRx': 'Off', 'NewDNSEnabled': True, 'NewDNSOverrideAllowed': False}

I've a 7530 ax and updated from 7.81 to 8.00 - i captured the fritzconnection -c from both versions. There is not any service renamed, just some additions to existing services - feel free to compare both files:

fritz_all_apis_7.81.txt
fritz_all_apis_8.00.txt

[kbr]

@mib1185 : thanks for posting both files. I'v missed to export the api-listing before updating my 7590 from 7.57 to 8.0. Just listing the servicenames (with -s) shows that WANIPConn1 has not been removed. So currently I asume the reason for this issue must be something else.

[calestyo]

Here's from the 7590 AX with 8.00, in case that differs from your non-AX(?) 7590:
7590ax_8.0.txt

[kbr]

You seem to have another build and hw-code (at least the latter is not surprising). Here is your build (7590 ax):

system : 259.08.00
build  : 115746
hw-code: 259
Report date: 2024-11-17 17:04:59

and here mine (7590):

system : 154.08.00
build  : 116612
hw-code: 226
Report date: 2024-11-17 17:56:38

Beside this according to my diff-tool some services in your OS 8 version are missing compared to the OS 8 version for the 7590:

WANCommonIFC1
WANDSLLinkC1
WANIPConn1
WANIPv6Firewall1

All services do refer to WAN settings. It is understandable that different devices may not support the same set of services, but for me it is suprising, that there is such a difference between 7590 and 7590 AX, which both are DSL-routers.

You may want to check this with the option -s for listing the available services of the device.

Could it be that some configuration setting change the exported API?

I am monitoring the Wifi clients on my Fritz!Box 7590, and after updating to Fritz!OS 8.00 I only get the Wifi clients for all my repeaters (non-version-8) but an empty reply for the 7590. The webinterface indicates that several Wifi clients are connected to the fritz!box. Maybe related to this?

[kbr]

Seems that FritzOS 8 has breaking changes by removing some older APIs. That does not affect the fritzconnection-core reading the current API. But some some (older) parts of the library may not work any more after updating a device. That should be addressed in upcoming versions.

[kbr]

I've dived in into the issue again. In contrast to the early versions of the routers just dealing with dsl, today there are more options available like cable, fibre or lte. Some features in fritzconnection that have been designed back then for dsl will not work on different WAN-interfaces.

So i will start to clean this up for the next version, but because i'm still on dsl, i'm unable to make physical tests for other router types. Some features in fritzconnection will work on dsl, but may be disabled for other connection types. If some of you are using cable or fibre (or even lte) and like to provide some data and do some testing, that could be helpful and would be welcome.

[calestyo]

@kbr Soonish I'll get (irregular - it's at my mom's house) access to a 6690 (Cable). And I do have a 7590 AX (VDSL) myself.

So I may be able to do some testing or give data.

[kbr]

Thanks, in case you like to provide some data, please run the following script: https://gist.github.com/kbr/e79c4184adfd9e13d8c5f9a10b26ed83

The script will create three text-files describing the available services for the given router model and installed FritzOS.

[tobox]

Currently I have access to the following models:

7590
6660 Cable
7690

Are you interested in the output of the script? For all 3 Models? Should I upload them here?

[kbr]

I have a 7590, so 6660 Cable and 7690 could be helpful. May be you can upload the files to gist and provide the links.
