NETGEAR
This platform allows you to detect presence by looking at connected devices to a NETGEAR device.
A recent updates of Orbi APs introduced a bug which takes several hours to detects presence on your local network. The current workaround is to force this integration to use the Orbi’s API v2 by adding the accesspoints:
node to your configuration.
To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: netgear
password: YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD
Configuration Variables
The base URL, e.g., http://routerlogin.com:5000
for example. If not provided host
and port
are used. If none provided autodetection of the URL will be used.
If provided only specified devices will be reported. Can be MAC address or the device name as reported in the NETGEAR UI.
When accesspoints
is specified an extra device will be reported for each device connected to the APs specified here, as MY-LAPTOP on RBS40
. Router
will be reported as AP name for the main AP. Only tested with Orbi.
The use of devices
or exclude
is recommended when using accesspoints
to avoid having a lot of entries.
List of models that are known to use port 80:
- Nighthawk X4S - AC2600 (R7800)
