# Common Function Design: `get_device_hostname` ## Purpose Create a common function to retrieve a device's hostname from a Tasmota device, eliminating code duplication and ensuring consistent error handling and logging across the codebase. ## Function Signature ```python def get_device_hostname(self, ip: str, device_name: str = None, timeout: int = 5, log_level: str = 'debug') -> tuple: """Retrieve the hostname from a Tasmota device. This function makes an HTTP request to a Tasmota device to retrieve its self-reported hostname using the Status 5 command. It handles error conditions and provides consistent logging. Args: ip: The IP address of the device device_name: Optional name of the device for logging purposes timeout: Timeout for the HTTP request in seconds (default: 5) log_level: The logging level to use ('debug', 'info', 'warning', 'error'). Default is 'debug'. Returns: tuple: (hostname, success) - hostname: The device's self-reported hostname, or empty string if not found - success: Boolean indicating whether the hostname was successfully retrieved Examples: # Basic usage hostname, success = manager.get_device_hostname("192.168.1.100") if success: print(f"Device hostname: {hostname}") # With device name for better logging hostname, success = manager.get_device_hostname("192.168.1.100", "Living Room Light") # With custom timeout and log level hostname, success = manager.get_device_hostname("192.168.1.100", timeout=10, log_level='info') """ ``` ## Implementation Details ### Parameters 1. `ip` (required): The IP address of the device to query 2. `device_name` (optional): Name of the device for logging purposes 3. `timeout` (optional): Timeout for the HTTP request in seconds (default: 5) 4. `log_level` (optional): The logging level to use (default: 'debug') ### Return Value A tuple containing: 1. `hostname`: The device's self-reported hostname, or empty string if not found 2. `success`: Boolean indicating whether the hostname was successfully retrieved ### Error Handling The function should handle: 1. Network errors (connection failures, timeouts) 2. Invalid responses (non-200 status codes) 3. JSON parsing errors 4. Missing or invalid data in the response ### Logging The function should log: 1. Debug/Info: Attempt to retrieve hostname 2. Debug/Info: Successfully retrieved hostname 3. Debug/Warning: Failed to retrieve hostname (with reason) 4. Debug: Raw response data for troubleshooting ## Code Structure ```python def get_device_hostname(self, ip: str, device_name: str = None, timeout: int = 5, log_level: str = 'debug') -> tuple: # Set up logging based on the specified level log_func = getattr(self.logger, log_level) # Use device_name in logs if provided, otherwise use IP device_id = device_name if device_name else ip hostname = "" success = False try: # Log attempt to retrieve hostname log_func(f"Retrieving hostname for {device_id} at {ip}") # Make HTTP request to the device url = f"http://{ip}/cm?cmnd=Status%205" response = requests.get(url, timeout=timeout) # Check if response is successful if response.status_code == 200: try: # Parse JSON response status_data = response.json() # Extract hostname from response hostname = status_data.get('StatusNET', {}).get('Hostname', '') if hostname: log_func(f"Successfully retrieved hostname for {device_id}: {hostname}") success = True else: log_func(f"No hostname found in response for {device_id}") except ValueError: log_func(f"Failed to parse JSON response from {device_id}") else: log_func(f"Failed to get hostname for {device_id}: HTTP {response.status_code}") except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e: log_func(f"Error retrieving hostname for {device_id}: {str(e)}") return hostname, success ``` ## Usage in Existing Code ### In `is_hostname_unknown` function ```python # Get the device's self-reported hostname hostname, success = self.get_device_hostname(ip, hostname, log_level='debug') if success: # Check if the self-reported hostname matches unknown patterns device_hostname_matches_unknown = False for pattern in patterns: if self._match_pattern(hostname.lower(), pattern, match_entire_string=False): device_hostname_matches_unknown = True self.logger.debug(f"Device's self-reported hostname '{hostname}' matches unknown pattern: {pattern}") break ``` ### In `get_tasmota_devices` method ```python # Get the device's self-reported hostname device_reported_hostname, success = self.get_device_hostname(device_ip, device_name, log_level='debug') if success: # Check if the self-reported hostname also matches unknown patterns device_hostname_matches_unknown = False for pattern in unknown_patterns: # ... pattern matching code ... ``` ### In `process_single_device` method ```python # Get the device's self-reported hostname device_reported_hostname, success = self.get_device_hostname(device_ip, device_name, log_level='info') if success: # Check if the self-reported hostname also matches unknown patterns # ... pattern matching code ... else: # No self-reported hostname found or error occurred, fall back to UniFi-reported name is_unknown = unifi_name_matches_unknown self.logger.info("Failed to get device's self-reported hostname, using UniFi-reported name") ``` ### In Device Details Collection ```python # Get Status 5 for network info hostname, success = self.get_device_hostname(ip, name, log_level='info') if not success: hostname = "Unknown" device_detail = { # ... other fields ... "hostname": hostname, # ... other fields ... } ``` ## Benefits 1. **Code Reuse**: Eliminates duplicated code for retrieving a device's hostname 2. **Consistency**: Ensures consistent error handling and logging across the codebase 3. **Maintainability**: Makes it easier to update the hostname retrieval logic in one place 4. **Readability**: Makes the code more concise and easier to understand 5. **Flexibility**: Provides options for customizing timeout and logging level
