To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file: ```yaml # Example configuration.yaml entry device_tracker: - platform: netgear host: YOUR_ROUTER_IP username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME password: YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD ``` Configuration variables: - **url** (*Optional*): 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. - **host** (*Optional*): The IP address of your router, e.g., `192.168.1.1`. - **port** (*Optional*): The port your router communicates with. - **username** (*Optional*): The username of a user with administrative privileges. If not provided `admin` will be used. - **password** (*Required*): The password for your given admin account. - **devices** (*Optional*): If provided only specified devices will be reported. Can be MAC address or the device name as reported in the Netgear UI. - **exclude** (*Optional*): Devices to exclude from the scan. - **accesspoints** (*Optional*): Also track devices on the specified APs. Only supports MAC address. 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) - Orbi See the [device tracker component page](/components/device_tracker/) for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
