The `fritz` platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a [AVM Fritz!Box](http://avm.de/produkte/fritzbox/) based router.
## {% linkable_title Setup %}
<p class='note warning'>
It might be necessary to install additional packages: <code>$ sudo apt-get install python3-lxml</code>
If you installed Home Assistant in a virtualenv, run the following commands inside it: <code>$ sudo apt-get install libxslt-dev libxml2-dev zlib1g-dev; pip3 install lxml</code>; be patient this will take a while.</p>
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To use an Fritz!Box router in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: fritz
```
{% configuration %}
host:
description: The IP address of your router, e.g., `192.168.1.1`. It is optional since every fritzbox is also reachable by using the IP address 169.254.1.1.
required: false
type: string
username:
description: The username of an user with administrative privileges, usually `admin`.
required: false
type: string
password:
description: The password for your given admin account.
required: false
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
<p class='note'>
It seems that it is not necessary to use it in current generation Fritz!Box routers because the necessary data can be retrieved anonymously.

See the [device tracker component page](/components/device_tracker/) for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
