page Device tracking Instructions how to setup device tracking within Home Assistant. 2015-01-20 22:36 false false true true

Home Assistant can get information from your wireless router to track which devices are connected. There are three different types of supported wireless routers: tomato, netgear and luci (OpenWRT). You can also decide to directly scan the network for devices by using the nmap scanner.

To get started add the following lines to your configuration.yaml (example for Netgear):

device_tracker:
  platform: netgear
  host: 192.168.1.1
  username: admin
  password: MY_PASSWORD

Once tracking, the device_tracker component will maintain a file in your config dir called known_devices.csv. Edit this file to adjust which devices have to be tracked. Here you can also setup a url for each device to be used as the entity picture.
