This is one of multiple ways we support OpenWRT. For an overview, see openwrt.
This is a presence detection scanner for OpenWRT using luci.
This component requires a [workaround](https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/issues/1258#issuecomment-252469880) when using luci with HTTPS and a self-signed certificate.
Before this scanner can be used you have to install the luci RPC package on OpenWRT:
# opkg install luci-mod-rpc
To use this device tracker in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
- platform: luci
host: ROUTER_IP_ADDRESS
username: YOUR_ADMIN_USERNAME
password: YOUR_ADMIN_PASSWORD
{% configuration %}
host:
description: The hostname or IP address of your router, e.g., 192.168.1.1.
required: true
type: string
username:
description: The username of an user with administrative privileges, usually admin.
required: true
type: string
password:
description: The password for your given admin account.
required: true
type: string
ssl:
description: If your router enforces SSL connections, set to true.
required: false
default: false
type: boolean
{% endconfiguration %}
See the device tracker component page for instructions how to configure the people to be tracked.
This device tracker provides a number of additional attributes for each tracked device (if it is at home): flags, ip, device, and host. The first three attributes are taken from the ARP table returned by the luci RPC. The host attribute is taken from the platform configuration and can be used to distinguish in which router a device is logged in, if you are using multiple OpenWRT routers.
Some installations have [a small bug](https://github.com/openwrt/luci/issues/576). The timeout for luci RPC calls is not set and this makes the call fail. If you want to locally fix your OpenWRT installation, you can apply the change manually to `/usr/lib/lua/luci/controller/rpc.lua`, or simply set a fixed timeout. The default is 3600.
