Home Assistant can get information from your wireless router or third party services like iCloud or OwnTracks to track which devices are connected and considered "in home". Please check the sidebar for a list of brands of supported wireless routers and services.
There are also trackers available which use different technologies like [MQTT](/components/mqtt/) or [Nmap](/components/device_tracker.nmap_tracker/) to scan the network for devices.

An [event](/getting-started/automation-trigger/#event-trigger) (`device_tracker_new_device`) will be fired when a device is discovered for the first time.

Multiple device trackers can be used in parallel, such as [Owntracks](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/#using-owntracks-with-other-device-trackers) and [Nmap](/components/device_tracker.nmap_tracker/). The state of the device will be determined by the source that reported last.

## {% linkable_title Using GPS device trackers with local network device trackers %}
GPS based device trackers (like [OwnTracks](/components/device_tracker.owntracks/), [GPSLogger](/components/device_tracker.gpslogger) and others) can also be used with local network device trackers, such as [Nmap](/components/device_tracker.nmap_tracker/) or [Netgear](/components/device_tracker.netgear/). To do this, fill in the `mac` field to the entry in `known_devices.yaml` with the MAC address of the device you want to track. This way the state of the device will be determined by *the source that reported last*. The naming convention for known device list is `<username>_<device-id>` and could be set in the app configuration.

An example showing the inclusion of the `mac` field for multiple platform tracking. The `mac` field was added to the GPS based device tracker entry and will enable tracking by all platforms that track via the `mac` address.
