Cannot get Guest Wifi state - Empty Dict as a response

I am using a custom component for Home Assistant called ha-fritzbox-tools. Unfortunately, it cannot get the state of my guest wifi. See this issue for more information.

Ticked the necessary checkboxes in Access Settings in the Home Network Occurred after upgrading to version: 0.8.4 Surprisingly this has worked before with 0.6.5, however I cannot seem to replicate it anymore. Requests version: 2.22.0 Fritzbox model: FritzBox 7560

After entering this:

import fritzconnection as fc
c = fc.FritzConnection(
    address='yourhost',
    port= 49000,
    user='yourusername',
    password='yourpassword'
)
print(c.call_action('WLANConfiguration:3', 'GetInfo'))

the last line returns an empty dict {} which is needed for getting the guest wifi state.

However, the connection is established successfully, since this:

print(c.call_action('Layer3Forwarding:1','GetDefaultConnectionService')['NewDefaultConnectionService'])

returns 1.WANPPPConnection.1

Hope you guys can help me out 😃

I’m suppose the box reports some error, because neither a ServiceError nor an ActionError gets raised but an empty dict returns. May be the upcoming 1.0 version will report the failure in full detail, as the parser has been rewritten and error handling is vastly enhanced.

During some debugging, @springstan and @AaronDavidSchneider found out that it’s possible to set the state of the guest wifi on the affected setup: c.call_action('WLANConfiguration:3', 'SetEnable', NewEnable=1)

So setting the state works for him, but calling the GetInfo action doesn’t work as expected. Just for the record 😊
