I’m looking for a possibility to get the transfer volume (online counter) information from my FritzBox router since a few days. My goal is a at least a daily persistence for the transfer volume information. As I can see, there is no official API from AVM to read this value. In the past there was a option to get this information by a prepared html document
Did anyone already such a implementation?
Another variant would be a daily mail from the FritzBox with the online counter information (this is supporting by the FritzBox) and parse the mail. This would be my next question: Is there a possibility to parse incoming mails with openHAB directly? Is it possible to use the Mail control binding for this circumstances? In the end I could use a external script to parse these mails and save the parsed value to an item.
I don’t think there is a built in solution in OH. You can use the exec binding or executeCommandLine from a rule to send those POSTs to your FritzBox using curl which is a common approach.
The wiki for the Mail binding says it supports parsing text of a very specific format. It does not support arbitrary email though so if you don’t have control over what gets sent it won’t work.
