The `mikrotik` platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a [Mikrotik Routerboard](http://routerboard.com) based router.
|
|
|
|
You need to enable the RouterOS API to use this platform.
|
|
|
|
Terminal:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/ip service
|
|
set api disabled=no port=8728
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Web Frontend:
|
|
|
|
Go to **IP** -> **Services** -> **API** and enable it.
|
|
|
|
Make sure that port 8728 or the port you choose is accessible from your network.
|
|
|
|
To use an Mikrotik router in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
- platform: mikrotik
|
|
host: IP_ADDRESS
|
|
username: ADMIN_USERNAME
|
|
password: ADMIN_PASSWORD
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **host** (*Required*): The IP address of your router.
|
|
- **username** (*Required*: The username of an user with administrative privileges.
|
|
- **password** (*Required*): The password for your given admin account.
|
|
- **port** (*Optional*): Mikrotik API port. Defaults to `8728`.
