Fritzbox Guestwifi Switch

Custom component for use with Home Assistant

outdated in favor of https://github.com/mammuth/ha-fritzbox-tools

Features:

turn on/off Guest Wifi in Home Assistant
senses external on/off of Guest Wifi

Installation:

put folder fritz_guestwifi (with files __init__.py and switch.py) to the custom_components folder in the config directory of your home assistant installation. Create custom_components if nescessary.

Example Configuration:

switch:
  - platform: fritz_guestwifi
    host: "192.168.178.1"                 # ip adress of fritzbox
    username: "pi"                        # username of fritzboxuser
    password: !secret fritzbox_password   # password of fritzboxuser (string or secret)

I use this switch together with the automatic disable setting in the fritzbox. It turns of the guest wifi if no one was connected for X minutes.

Example Automation:

automation:
  - id: guestwifi_qr_notify
    alias: send credentials of Guest Wifi to phone
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: switch.guestwifi
      to: "on"
    action:
    - service: notify.ios_aarons_iphone
      data:
        message: !secret guestwifi_password
        title: "Guest Wifi --> on!"
        data:
          attachment:
            url: "/local/QR-Guestwifi.png"
            content-type: png
            hide-thumbnail: false

Where I put the QR Code in a www folder in my config directory (see e.g. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/help-with-entity-picture-and-file-location/38547/2). The QR Code is automatically generated by the fritzbox.
