List of all active devices

General

Hi,
how can I get a list of all active devices from my FB?

I have seen "payload["NewX_AVM-DE_HostListPath"]" and also got such a HostListPath.
But
a) I am not sure this the right approach
b) I don't know what to do with this path - if it is the right approach!

Sorry, but what is this FB of which you speak?

By "FB" he means Fritz!Box, an internet router from AVM - popular in Germany mostly.

You could use the FritzBox nodes to query your router. That should get you started.

@kuema I already use the node-red-contrib-fritz since some years.
Unfortunately I was not able to find a documentation about the services and related actions to be selected there and what to do with them.
Some I found out by try-and-error myselfe. But I hopes someon could give me a quick help to finde the right service/action and some follow up steps to do.

Meanwhile I found out how to process the HostListPath. I am now working on the next step to process the xml and the array from the output.

Thanks for help anyway!

Unfortunately, it's lots of trial and error with those UPNP endpoints. Had a lot of "fun" with it myself.

I believe I saw the device list endpoint at some point, so it should be available via upnp in general.

A good source of information is the BoxMatrix wiki.
