Status code 2 is invalid parameter, but network.wireless status isn't supposed to take a parameter. Maybe a bug in ubus?

I've actually re-run everything using CURL locally, and I get the same error, so it's probably a bug in ubus?

Weirdly, when invoked thru the command line, ubus -v call network.wireless status gives out all the info no problem.

Let's see what openwrt folks will tell. At this point, there's probably no workaround

[MiJimMor]

To solve it, I used UCI with the following function:

async def discover_wireless_uci(self) -> dict:
        result = dict(ap=[], mesh=[])
        wifi_devices = self._configured_devices("wifi_devices")
        # Check if UCI get method is supported
        if not self.is_api_supported("uci", "get"):
            _LOGGER.debug(f"Device [{self._id}] doesn't support uci.get")
            return result
        
        try:
            response = await self._ubus.api_call('uci', 'get', dict(config='wireless'))
            _LOGGER.debug(f"UCI wireless config response: {response}")
            values = response.get('values', {})
            
            # First, build a mapping of device -> disabled to filter radios
            device_disabled = {}
            for section, data in values.items():
                if data.get('.type') == 'wifi-device':
                    device_name = data.get('.name')
                    disabled = data.get('disabled', '0')
                    # UCI returns strings, convert to boolean / UCI devuelve strings, convertir a boolean
                    device_disabled[device_name] = disabled in ['1', 'true', True]

            # Now process wifi-iface interfaces / Ahora procesar las interfaces wifi-iface
            for section, data in values.items():
                # Only interested in wifi-iface sections / Solo nos interesan las secciones tipo wifi-iface
                if data.get('.type') != 'wifi-iface':
                    continue

                device = data.get('device')
                if not device:
                    _LOGGER.debug(f"wifi-iface {section} no tiene device")
                    continue

                # Skip if radio is disabled / Saltarse si el radio está deshabilitado
                if device_disabled.get(device, False):
                    _LOGGER.debug(f"Device {device} is disabled, skipping interface {section}")
                    continue

                # # Build ifname from device and section name / Construir ifname desde device y nombre de sección
                # En UCI, el ifname típicamente se construye como "phy{index}-{mode}{number}"
                # Pero también podemos usar el nombre de la sección como identificador
                ifname = data.get('ifname') or data.get('ssid') or section
                if not ifname:
                    _LOGGER.debug(f"iface {section} no tiene ifname ni nombre de sección")
                    continue

                # network can be string or list in UCI
                network = data.get('network')
                if isinstance(network, list):
                    network = network[0] if network else ""

                conf = dict(ifname=ifname, network=network, device=device)

                mode = data.get('mode')
                if mode == 'ap':
                    ssid = data.get('ssid')
                    if ssid:
                        conf['ssid'] = ssid
                    else:
                        _LOGGER.debug(f"SSID of {ifname} not found")

                    if len(wifi_devices) and ifname not in wifi_devices:
                        _LOGGER.debug(f"Interface {ifname} is not in wifi_devices, skipping")
                        continue

                    result['ap'].append(conf)

                elif mode == 'mesh':
                    # El campo mesh_id puede variar; intentar varias claves comunes
                    mesh_id = data.get('mesh_id') or data.get('mesh') or data.get('ssid') or None
                    if mesh_id:
                        conf['mesh_id'] = mesh_id
                    else:
                        _LOGGER.debug(f"mesh_id not found for {ifname}")
                    result['mesh'].append(conf)

        except Exception as err:
            _LOGGER.warning(f"Device [{self._id}] doesn't support wireless (uci get) or parse failed: {err}")
        return result

It would be necessary to include new ACL permissions in the hass.json file.

{
    "hass": {
        "description": "Home Assistant OpenWrt integration permissions",
        "read": {
            "ubus": {
                "network.wireless": ["status"],
                "network.device": ["status"],
                "iwinfo": ["info", "assoclist"],
                "hostapd.*": ["get_clients", "wps_status"],
                "system": ["board", "info"],
                "mwan3": ["status"], 
                "uci": ["get", "configs"]
            },
            "uci": ["wireless"]
        },
        "write": {
            "ubus": {
                "system": ["reboot"],
                "hostapd.*": ["wps_start", "wps_cancel"]
            }
        }
    }
} 

Sorry, I can't format the code well from my mobile.
I sincerely appreciate your great work, Kvj!

do you just add the "discover_wireless_uci" to the coordinator.py and then add the permissions to the ACL file? That didn't work for me.

[GMTZMU]

I have the same problem with (RC2)

[FaserF]

first I want to thank kvj for his work and Integration! Since this repo has not recieved updates and new Features in quite some time, I have started my own Integration. Right now it generally works with 25.12 and 26 snapshot releases for me, but I am using different login parameters within mine, without those config files being needed.

Maybe it also helps here somewhere.

There's another integration, seems very complete, I'll test it: https://github.com/FUjr/homeassistant-openwrt-ubus
