Configuration

{
  "platforms": [
    {
      "platform": "Fritz!Box",
      "name": "My FritzBox",
      "username": "<username>",
      "password": "<password>",
      "url": "http://fritz.box",
      "interval": 60,
      "hide": ["wifi", "<ain>"],
      "concurrent": false,
      "wifiName": "Guest WLAN",
      "options": {
        "strictSSL": false
      }
    }
  ]
}

The following settings are optional:

url: Fritz!Box address
interval: polling interval for updating accessories if state was changed outside homebringe
hide: a list of device AINs to exclude from homebridge control
concurrent: allow concurrent api requests for newer Fritz!BOXes with better performance (experimental)
wifiName: custom name for the WLAN guest access switch (fallback Guest WLAN)

The hide config options allows to specify an array of device AINs that will not be added to homebridge. Use wifi for hiding the WLAN guest access switch.

Common Issues / Frequently Asked Questions

homebridge-fritz can't login to the FritzBox
Some users have reported that logging into the FritzBox internally via https fails. This seems to be caused by the FritzApp occupying the same port. In this case you can connect internally via http or use the external IP.
Fritz!Box platform login failed messages can be caused by invalid login data or wrong url.
Log messages if the form of:
```
{ error: { [Error: self signed certificate] code: 'DEPTH_ZERO_SELF_SIGNED_CERT' }
```
indicate that there are SSL security problems- most likely due to self-signed certificates. Use the "strictSSL": false option to disable the respective check.
homebridge-fritz is not able to update my thermostat
Current FritzBox firmwares seem to ignore API updates when the thermostat has been key-locked. No workaround available- please contact AVM to change this behaviour or don't use the locking mechanism.

homebridge-fritz can login but not update thermostat battery charge
Battery charge is not an API function. That means that the user must have access to FritzBox administration, not only to the SmartHome API in order to use this functionality. Update your Fritz!Box user accordingly.
