Python module for controlling huawei 3g usb modems

Huawei 3G python module

A python module for controlling Huawei 3G usb modems. At the moment it only supports the Huawei E303 usb dongle since that's the only one I own.

If your huawei dongle isn't working, please report an issue. More supported modems is always better.

Warning: huawei modems might mangle sms messages containing CDATA xml sections. Beware if you use this to communicate over XML

Features

• Find all Huawei modems and associated network interface
• Get modem status
• Connect/disconnect internet
• Change sim settings
• Get SMS messages
• Send SMS messages

Usage example

>>> from huawei_3g import modem as modem
>>> modem.find()
[
    {
        'name'     : 'Huawei E303',
        'interface': 'enp0s20u1',
        'path'     : '/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1',
        'supported': True,
        'class'    : 'huawei_e303',
        'productId': '14dc'
    }
]

>>> modem.load()
[<HuaweiE303Modem enp0s20u1 (/sys/bus/usb/devices/1-1)>]

>>> modems = modem.load()
>>> modems[0].get_status()
{
    'signal': 80,
    'status': 'connected',
    'network_type': 'HSPA+'
}

{
    'count' : 2,
    'unread': 1
}
