Home Hub Control

Rundown

This project gives you an abstraction layer to communicate with your Bell Home Hub 2000 router. You get nice session management functions, like session.login(user, pass) and session.exec_action(someaction).

How

First, grab Python 2.7 and Requests. Then, try something simple:

from bell_protocol import Session,ActionPayload

s = Session("192.168.2.1")
s.login("admin", "password")
try:
    # Restart my router
    action = ActionPayload("reboot", xpath = "Device")
    s.exec_action(action)
finally:
    s.logout()

What

This works on my Bell Home Hub 2000 router (Sagemcom F@st 5250). That’s the only guarantee I can give, unfortunately! Since the API used is undocumented, this is unlikely to work on other Home Hub series routers. Or any other routers, for that matter.

Why

I initially wrote this wrapper to build a backend for an alternative device-banning interface. I found myself using it for the ocassional router-based project (programmatic restarting, etc), so maybe it will help you build yours.
