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 only used for the custom AsusRouter Home Assistant 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.

from asusrouter import AsusRouter

router = AsusRouter(host = "router.my.address",         #required - both IP and URL supported
                    username = "admin",                 #required
                    password = "password",              #required
                    port = None,                        #optional - default port would be selected based on use_ssl parameter
                    use_ssl = False,                    #optional
                    cache_time = 5)                     #optional

Check it with your device

Testing the library with different devices would help a lot in the development process. Unfortunately, currently, I have only one device available, so your help would be much appreciated.
