schedule Wireless on and off with option device is connected

[schranzc]

Hello,

I want to implement to schedule wifi on and off with the option to check if any devices are
currently connected before turning it off. I know this feature from my Fritz!Box and it would be great to get the same function in my ASUS-Merlin Router Can anybody help me to realize this project?

Schedule Wifi:
if(devices.connected() == true):
do nothing;
check again in 10 minutes;
else:
TurnWifiOff();

Thank you so much!!

Use "wl" to check the list of associated clients.

wl -i eth1 assoclist
wl -i eth2 assoclist

Thank you so much!!

wl -i eth1 assoclist #works!!! (2.4GHz)
wl -i eth2 assoclist #wl: wl driver adapter not found

The name of the 5GHz-adapter must be a different - i tried eth0 and eth3 but nothing works (wl: wl driver adapter not found). I have a ASUS-RTAC87U Router with the latest Merlin-Firmware! Do you know what the name of the 5GHz adapter is? Thank you again!!

The 5 GHz radio on the RT-AC87U is from Quantenna, not from Broadcom. The API is completely different.

You will have to dig through the libqcsapi source code to figure out the correct function call to send using qcsapi_sockrpc. I know it was posted on the forums a year ago or so, but I can't remember the exact function.

Thank you!

this is the right one to check how many devices are connected (5GHz):
qcsapi_sockrpc get_count_assoc wifi0

disable wifi (5GHz):
qcsapi_sockrpc rfenable 0 wifi0

enable wifi (5GHz):
qcsapi_sockrpc rfenable 1 wifi0

everything works!! = HAPPY

now I check if devices are connected with 2.4GHz WiFi like this:
CD=$(wl -i eth1 assoclist) #CD ... connected devices
logger "Devices 2.4GHz: assoclist XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX "
if [ "${CD:0:9}" != "assoclist" ]

how can I check "if empty"?
CD=$(wl -i eth1 assoclist) #CD ... connected devices
logger "Devices 2.4GHz: "
if [ $CD == """empty"""" ]

Thanks

ASUS RT-AC87U

2.4GHz

wl -i eth1 assoclist

returns a list of connected clients (assoclist XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX assoclist XY:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX ......)

and
5GHz

qcsapi_sockrpc get_count_assoc wifi0

returns a count-number of the connected clients (0, 1, 2, 3, ...)

is there a way (command) to get the count number (instead of the assoclist with MAC-address) for the 2.4GHz devices too?

wl -i eth1 assoclist | grep -c assoclist
