The freebox component allows you to observe and control Freebox router.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

{% linkable_title Configuration %}

If you have enabled the discovery component, your Freebox should be detected automatically. Otherwise, you can set it up manually in your configuration.yaml file:

freebox:
  host: foobar.fbxos.fr
  port: 1234

{% configuration %} host: description: The url of the Freebox. required: true type: string port: description: The https port the Freebox is listening on. required: true type: string {% endconfiguration %}

You can find out your Freebox host and port by opening this address in your browser. The returned json should contain an api_domain (host) and a https_port (port).

{% linkable_title Initial setup %}

You must have set a password for your Freebox router web administration page. Enable the option "Permettre les nouvelles demandes d'associations" and check that the option "Accès à distance sécurisé à Freebox OS" is active in "Gestion des ports" > "Connexions entrantes".

The first time Home Assistant will connect to your Freebox, you will need to authorize it by pressing the right arrow on the facade of the Freebox when prompted to do so.

{% linkable_title Supported routers %}

Only the routers with Freebox OS are supported:

  • Freebox V7 also known as Freebox Delta
  • Freebox V6 also known as Freebox Revolution
  • Freebox mini 4k

{% linkable_title Presence Detection %}

This platform offers presence detection by keeping track of the devices connected to a Freebox router.

{% linkable_title Notes %}

Note that the Freebox waits for some time before marking a device as inactive, meaning that there will be a small delay (1 or 2 minutes) between the time you disconnect a device and the time it will appear as "away" in Home Assistant. You should take this into account when specifying the consider_home parameter. On the contrary, the Freebox immediately reports devices newly connected, so they should appear as "home" almost instantly, as soon as Home Assistant refreshes the devices states.

{% linkable_title Sensor %}

This platform offers you sensors to monitor a Freebox router. The monitored conditions are instant upload and download rates in KB/s.
