AsusRouter

AsusRouter is an API wrapper for communication with ASUSWRT-powered routers using HTTP(S) protocols. The library supports both the stock AsusWRT firmware and AsusWRT-Merlin.

Up till now, it is mostly used for the custom AsusRouter Home Assistant integration and from recently by the core Home Assistant AsusWRT integration. But I am always open to making it suitable for any other use.

Installation

Installation of the latest release is available from PyPI:

pip install asusrouter

Usage

Once installed, you can import the AsusRouter class from the module. Example shows the default parameters except for host, username and password.

import aiohttp
import asyncio
from asusrouter import AsusRouter, AsusData

# Create a new event loop
loop = asyncio.new_event_loop()

# Create aiohttp session
session = aiohttp.ClientSession(loop=loop)

router = AsusRouter(                #required - both IP and URL supported
    hostname="router.my.address",   #required
    username="admin",               #required
    password="password",            #required
    use_ssl=True,                   #optional
    session=session,                #optional
)

# Connect to the router
loop.run_until_complete(router.async_connect())

# Now you can use the router object to call methods
data = loop.run_until_complete(router.async_get_data(AsusData.NETWORK))
print(data)

# Remember to disconnect and close the session when you're done
loop.run_until_complete(router.async_disconnect())
loop.run_until_complete(session.close())

Supported devices

AsusRouter supports virtually every AsusWRT-powered device.

Tip

Version 388.10 of AsusWRT-Merlin firmware is officially NOT supported due to the issues with HTTP daemon crashes. Use versions >=388.10_2 or <=388.9_2.
