Version: 2.1
The Y5-210MU is a 4G/5G external hub/router created by Greenpacket and supplied by 3 (Three) UK as a home broadband solution along with an Eero 6 internal wireless router.
You can connect to the hub via a web browser and scroll through the numerous information pages and perform various actions but this becomes tedious if you want to automate monitoring the hub regularly.
InquireHub makes it easier to automate routine hub monitoring by providing a simple command interface to the hub.
I have tried to pick the most useful fields from the various Hub displays and these are output in three ways:
- Displayed on screen at end of run
- Appended to a file in CSV format for input to a spreadsheet
- Returned in JSON format for possible use by another program
Frankly I don't understand the meanings of many of the acronyms used or the significance of the data presented! I have tried to choose fields likely to vary over time rather than configuration constants but if I have missed something significant let me know, or change the query-list configuration (see below) to include it
Other functions included are:
- Download the hubs log file to a local file with timestamped name.
- Download the hubs configuration data to a local file with timestamped name.
- Reboot the hub
- Ping a web address
- Clear Traffic statistics
The script needs to have a user name and password to logon to the hub, these can be supplied via the command line or you can customize the script to save the need to enter them each time (see below)
Please give it a try and give feedback in this thread
Download InquireHub from GitHub
Ensure Python is installed - I used level 3.13 on Windows 11 but it should run on any machine with Python.
On Windows I needed to install the Requests package (pip install requests), otherwise the script only needs the standard libraries.
Ensure that InquireHub.py has been added and execute it.
Assuming InquireHub.py is installed in current directory, but it can be installed in any directory and path specified on command
On linux:
./InquireHub.py function optionsor on any platform
python ./InquireHub.py function optionsTypical usage
python ./inquirehub.py -p password -f

My initial plan was to monitor the json output from InquireHub with PRTG but in practice the output is not really suitable for monitoring by PRTG so currently I will just use the CSV output to maintain a spreadsheet of hub activity and track the frequency of network disconnections.
On Windows system the task scheduler can be used to run the script at regular intervals while on Linux systems the crontab table can be used.
To make it easier to view the csv output from InquireHub I have produced a Google spreadsheet Google spreadsheet V2
Instructions for use are on the "Introduction" sheet of the spreadsheet, Data is loaded by using "Import file" on the Raw sheet, the reformatted data is shown on the Format sheet and Summarised results on the Summary Data sheet
You are welcome to make a copy of the spreadsheet for your own use.
Note: The spreadsheet is tailored to the InquireHub Version 2 csv file format. Do not mix formats within the same csv file!
A simpler version of the spreadsheet for handling the csv files produced by InquireHub Version 1 is also available Google spreadsheet V1
This version will not be updated
- The hub sometimes fails login even when correct credentials are supplied, try again later
- The hub sometimes fails to return the hostinfo data, for that reason it is positioned at the end of the selected key list
- If you set the use Daylight Saving hub option On, it can mess up the WAN_Uptime - it shows an hour longer than actual connection time
- Looping through arrays is not supported, explicit indexes are needed to select output keys
- Formats of dates and numbers are not consistent and not always directly usable by spreadsheets and other programs
