The `mikrotik` platform offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a [MikroTik RouterOS](https://mikrotik.com) based router.
|
|
|
|
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
|
|
|
|
- Presence Detection
|
|
|
|
## Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
You have to enable accessing the RouterOS API on your router 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.

## Use a certificate
|
|
|
|
To use SSL to connect to the API (via `api-ssl` instead of `api` service) further configuration is required at RouterOS side. You have to upload or generate a certificate and configure `api-ssl` service to use it. Here is an example of a self-signed certificate:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/certificate add common-name="Self signed demo certificate for API" days-valid=3650 name="Self signed demo certificate for API" key-usage=digital-signature,key-encipherment,tls-server,key-cert-sign,crl-sign
|
|
/certificate sign "Self signed demo certificate for API"
|
|
/ip service set api-ssl certificate="Self signed demo certificate for API"
|
|
/ip service enable api-ssl
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If everything is working fine you can disable the pure `api` service in RouterOS:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/ip service disable api
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## The user privileges in RouterOS
|
|
|
|
To use this device tracker you need restricted privileges only. To enhance the security of your MikroTik device create a "read only" user who is able to connect to API and perform ping test only:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
/user group add name=homeassistant policy=read,api,!local,!telnet,!ssh,!ftp,!reboot,!write,!policy,test,!winbox,!password,!web,!sniff,!sensitive,!romon,!dude,!tikapp
|
|
/user add group=homeassistant name=homeassistant
|
|
/user set password="YOUR_PASSWORD" homeassistant
|
|
```
