The tplink platform allows you to detect presence by looking at connected devices to a TP-Link device. This includes the ArcherC9 line.
TP-Link devices typically only allow one login at a time to the admin console. This component will count towards your one allowed login. Depending on how aggressively you configure device_tracker you may not be able to access the admin console of your TP-Link device without first stopping Home Assistant. Home Assistant takes a few seconds to login, collect data, and log out. If you log into the admin console manually, remember to log out so that Home Assistant can log in again.
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: tplink

For Archer C9 models running firmware version 150811 or later please use the encrypted password you can retrieve like this:
- Go to the login page of your router. (default: 192.168.0.1)
- Type in the password you use to login into the password field.
- Click somewhere else on the page so that the password field is not selected anymore.
- Open the JavaScript console of your browser (usually by pressing F12 and then clicking on "Console").
- Type
document.getElementById("login-password").value;. - Copy the returned value to your Home Assistant configuration as password.
See the device tracker component page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
