Python3 Wi-Fi Manager Library

Simple library for managing Wi-Fi connection on Linux by Python3. Using nmcli as main component. Available actions: connect, disconnect, view password, disable/enable Wi-Fi, find top 3 best networks to connect to and find out the current status for Wi-Fi devices.

Example

from json import dumps

wifi = WiFi_Manager()
wifi.get_networks()

print(dumps(wifi.choice_best(), indent=4))
'''
[
    {
        "channel": 60,
        "signal": 100,
        "speed": 270,
        "security": [
            "WPA1",
            "WPA2"
        ],
        "ssid": "WifiNetwork",
        "bssid": "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX"
    },
    ...
]
'''

if wifi.connect('XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX', "SuperSecurePassword"):
    print('Connected to network!')
else:
    print('Failed!')

Docs

Disconnect from network

def disconnect(self) -> bool:

Disconnect from any active connection. Return bool as logical result of task

Connect to network

def connect(self, bssid: str = None, password: str = None) -> bool:

Connect to networks by BSSID. root is required.

Running get_networks() before is required

bssid: str - network BSSID

password: str - password for network or will be requested in input()

Return bool as logical result of task

Example:

wifi = WiFi_Manager()
wifi.get_networks()

if wifi.connect('XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX', "SuperSecurePassword"):
    print('Connected to network!')
else:
    print('Failed!')

Show Wi-Fi Devices Status

def wifi_status(self) -> List[dict]:

Get status for all Wi-Fi Devices

Returns list of devices like:

[
    {
        "device": "wdev1",
        "state": "connected",
        "to_network": "TestWifi"
    }
]

Show Wi-Fi Password

def wifi_password(self) -> Tuple[bool, str]:

Show password if any for active Wi-Fi connection

Return like: (True, "SuperSecurePassword")

Wi-Fi Radio Power

def wifi_radio(self, enabled: bool = True) -> bool:

Turn ON/OFF Wi-Fi Radio

Example:

WiFi_Manager.wifi_radio(False)  # Wi-Fi Poweroff

enabled: bool - if True will send signal to turn ON
                if False will send signal to turn OFF

Return bool as logical result of task

Choice Best Networks

def choice_best(self, prefered: str = "5G") -> List[dict]:

Let script to choice TOP-3 networks for connect. By default 5G is prefered, filtering by SSID (no dup). Taking networks list from self.networks. Running get_networks() before is required.

Rules: signal strengh >= 85 and best speed

prefered: str - supported values is "5G" or "2G"

Returns [{..}] or empty list if no rez. Output like:

[
    {
        "ssid": "TestWifi",
        "bssid": "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX",
        "security": ["WPA2"],
        "speed": 480,
        "channel": 100,
        "signal": 100,
    }
]

Get All Available Networks

def get_networks(self) -> dict:

Saving networks list to self.networks and returns it

[
    {
        "ssid": "TestWifi",
        "bssid": "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX",
        "security": ["WPA2"],
        "speed": 480,
        "channel": 100,
        "signal": 100,
    }
]
