I hope Im not speaking out of turn as Eric would be the best person to answer because its his baby, however...

DSLstats only works on Broadcom based routers

Unfortunately, the HH5 is locked and doesnt provide telnet access to be able to get any stats.  It also uses a Lantiq chipset and therefore even if you did have telnet access to the CLI none of the broadcom commands to get the stats would work.

Your best bet would be routerstats hub which scrapes the data from the webGUI.

I can't see any reason why DSLStats couldn't use the HTTP interface

  I am sure it could  --- if --- anyone has the time and inclination to do a major job coding it and maintaining thereafter.  It might be a lot easier to get a broadcom based device.

Easier for the 3 million users who have the HH5?

To do so would mean an entirely different approach and probably encroaching in an area the John already covers with routerstats.
DSLstats uses telnet and the router's CLI which provides far more information about the line stats. 

Its an entirely different way of doing things, Im trying to think of a simple way of putting it, but a similar difference could be described as how you need a web-browser such as Firefox to fetch and interpret information using the http protocol from a server or you need an ftp client such as Filezilla to fetch or put files from/on a server using the ftp protocol.   The webgui GUI uses http whilst the CLI uses telnet.  Think of Johns program as the former, Erics is the latter.  So it would be a major overhaul to make DSLstats perform like routerstats.

There are some Routers that use odd pop up type interface to login, meaning the the HTTP access cannot be used by a remote program to access the stats as the login stage always fails.
So telnet has to be used
(as indeed the notes on John's Routerstats/RS lite program suite explains)

As an alternative someone may be able to do something like this which ejs wrote for the TPlink routers.

Should have mentioned that the TpLink routers such as the TD-W9980 use the same chipset at the HH5 which is why I mentioned it.   Dont know how much BT have b@stardised the HHs though.

Somebody has already done it, but it would be nice to have it integrated into DSLStats and then MWDS

  While there is some useful data on that page most people who monitor things would be very disappointed with the absence of error stats. Most of the dslstats and MWDS pages would be blank.  While this thread is about requests we need to remember that any request is asking if an unpaid person is willing to spend some or a lot their time on something.

Any chance of adding the Homehub 5 as a supported device? Limited stats are available over the HTTP interface.

I see others have already given some good answers, but this is what I was going to say:

Sorry, but I'm afraid not. DSLstats gets all its data by telnet, and getting some data by HTTP would involve more extra writing and testing than I've got energy for.

[Dray]

If there was a how-to I'm sure some keen coder could be persuaded to hack some code together to do it.

Well said.

Give the 3 million users of the Homehub 5 I'm sure there's a lot more chance that donations from just a fraction of them would result in figures far exceeding expectations.

Sorry but I can see no point in carrying on this discussion. Roseway has said a firm NO, it is his program and so that should put an end to it.

I'll just add that Eric doesn't expect or even accept donations.
