Fritz!Box Motion control

Based on the MAC addresses registered at your Fritz!Box, this library will start or stop Motion, on your MotionEye system.

Notes

The powerup/shutdown is the entire Motion/MotionEye services, not just pausing Motion

Requirements

Python3.

Installation

git clone this repository to your folder of likings.

sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Ensure the file fbhomerecognition.py is executable:

chmod +x fbhomerecognition.py

Running

Run manually with ./fbhomerecognition.py

In your init

If you can, run it via /etc/init.d or some other automated start-up script.

/path/to/fbhomerecognition.pi in your start-up script

Start-as-a-service

Or, add it to your start-up scripts.

See the .service file. Adjust the variables to what you need, and copy it to

/etc/systemd/system/fritzmotionhome.service

Then run the following:

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl enable fritzmotionhome
sudo systemctl start fritzmotionhome

Configuration

Copy example.env to .env, and adjust the settings as needed.

MAC addresses

Either configured in your .env, or in a separate devices.json file in json format:

[
  "00:00:00:00:00",
  "11:11:11:11:11"
]

MQTT

To enable MQTT reporting, add the information to your .env file, like so:

mqtt='123.123.123'
mqtt_topic='mytopic/name/here'

Replace the values of mqtt with the IP of your MQTT host, and the topic with what you want the topic to be.

Logging

Should work. Logs are in /var/log/fbhome.log

To get an output while working in the console, set the environment in your .env to "dev"

Logrotate (Debian based systems)

Copy the file fbhome to /etc/logrotate.d/fbhome

Test with the following command:

sudo logrotate -d /etc/logrotate.d/fbhome
