How does it work

Huawei MiFi devices have an inbuilt API to access the status of the device at 192.168.1.1/api/monitoring/status. A sessionID cookie is required to view this XML page, so a request is made to 192.168.1.1 to get one.

Confirmed devices

• Huawei E5577C
• Huawei E5220

All Huawei MiFi devices should be supported, as the API is included with the Huawei Web OS.

If you encounter any issues with your specific device, open up an Issue and I'll attempt to resolve it
