unifi_respondd

This queries the API of a UniFi controller to get the current status of the Accesspoints and sends the information via the respondd protocol. Thus it can be picked up by yanic and other respondd queriers.

Requirements

For multicast to work, unifi_respondd has to be run on a computer in the Freifunk Network. Otherwise, Yanic will not be able to get the information created by this project.

The host on which unifi_respondd is running has to have at least Python 3.6 installed. python3-pip is also recommended.

Installation

To install unifi_respondd you have to clone this repository and run pip install ..

Usage

First, copy unifi_respondd.yaml.example to unifi_respondd.yaml with e.g. cp unifi_respondd.yaml.example unifi_respondd.yaml.

Then edit unifi_respondd.yaml as needed and run respondd.py
