Unofficial OnHub Desktop Client

This project was created due to the lack of options for interfacing with OnHub (now, Google Nest) Wi-Fi routers. As of right now, this software's capabilities are limited. It can view network traffic quantities in real time, and that's about it.

The app's code is somewhat hard to maintain and it is, therefore, being rewritten entirely. It was originally programmed when I was first learning C++ and in retrospect, I seem to have taken some very inefficient routes.

The retrieval of network data is based off of my reverse-engineering of Google's private API.

Building

This project is programmed with Qt, a cross-platform C++ app framework. For building, use, as Qt 6 currently does not include necessary packages used by the app--such as WebEngine and Charts.

Download Qt here: https://www.qt.io/download-qt-installer

Once Qt 5.15.x has been installed for your operating system,

git clone https://github.com/AngeloD2022/OnHubDesktop.git

cd ~/Downloads/OnHubDesktopClient

qmake OnHubDesktopClient.pro

make
