The upc_connect {% term integration %} offers presence detection by looking at connected devices to a Connect Box from Liberty Global (also known as UPC Cablecom in Switzerland) which is an Internet provider in Switzerland, Austria, the Netherlands (under Ziggo) and Hungary (under Vodafone).

{% important %} This integration works by logging into the router with a password. The router can only have one active session at any time, so if you want to access your router settings then stop Home Assistant first. {% endimportant %}

To use a Connect Box in your installation, add the following to your {% term "configuration.yaml" %} file. {% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}

# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
  - platform: upc_connect
    password: PASSWORD

{% configuration %} password: description: The password of your router. required: true type: string host: description: The IP address of your router. required: false default: 192.168.0.1 type: string {% endconfiguration %}

See the device tracker integration page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
