Home Assistant

FortiOS

The FortiOS presence detection enables Home Assistant to track devices with a MAC address connected to a FortiGate from Fortinet.

The integration relies on the fortiosapi. It has been verified on FortiGate appliances and FortiGate VM running FortiOS v. 6.4.x (up to 6.4.8), 7.0.x (up to 7.0.4) and 7.2.0.
The minimum version supported is FortiOS 6.4.3.

All devices with a MAC address identified by FortiGate would be tracked, this covers both Ethernet and Wi-Fi devices, including devices detected by LLDP.

The integration is based on the Home Assistant device_tracker platform.

Example configuration:

This example uses the FortiOS integration as a device tracker, with an API token and does not verify the SSL certificate.

# Example configuration.yaml
device_tracker:
  - platform: fortios
    host: YOUR_HOST
    token: YOUR_API_USER_KEY
