This project originaly was for internet monitor. It has expanded to be a microservices platform that integrates with Home Assistant for home automation. Several IOT devices have web interfaces, such as routers, but do not have APIs. Thus this API was created so that an API could be called by the home automation system, to perform tasks that via the device's HTML interface.
Reboots the DD-WRT router when there are no WiFi clients connected to it.
My router would occasionally disconnect any of the wireless clients that were connected to it. Since I have wired and wireless devices connected, some of the time I would not know that the wifi had stopped working until my phone or laptop wouldn't connect or I noticed that a automation did not trigger when it should have.
After updating to the latest DD-WRT firmware, the problem persisted. Given that I work building automations to improve business processes, I decided that I would build and automation that would connect to the router’s web interface and see if there are any wireless clients connected to it. If there are no connected wireless clients, then there is a great chance that the wifi process that authenticates clients has crashed. As a result, the process would need to be restarted and the easiest way to restart the process would be to reboot the router.

Can install updates and check the status of the HD HomeRun.
HD HomeRun receives updates via the web and displays a notification on the web UI of the device. Unless you visit the web UI of the device, you will not know that an update is ready to be installed.
Create a Selenium Webdriver automation that is triggered by an API call from Home Assistant to see if there updates available. When updates are available, Home Assistant will show a notification about the updates. This also has functionality to get the system and tuner status of the HD HomeRun and display it in Home Assistant.
