I was having problems with the Asuswrt tracker as well. After messing with it for a day, I found a combination of upgrading from stock to Merlin and enabling ssh shared keys got it working for me.
The tracker is currently working for me on 0.82.1 and hassio.
Going at the normal rate 0.83 is due out two weeks after 0.82. Which is 2 or 3 days away.
PS you do come across as a little self-entitled. You will see that a supposed fix was released in 0.82.1 but some changes were still required. So it is not being ignored.
Self entitled? I’m not the only one with problems and tracking is a core component for presence detection. I never said it was ignored, I said that the priority for releasing a fix should be increased because of the impact.
Only seems to be affecting a minority of users or there would be much more chatter on here. No one forced him to update and how much is he paying the Devs for this guaranteed reliability.
Wednesday next week I think. 0.83.0b0 will be out tomorrow if they can’t wait… (They shifted the release schedule by a few days as Balloob is sick of getting hammered on a weekend)
I’ve been holding back updating from 81.6 because of this, and indeed hope this will be fixed soon (asuswrt has had unexpected behavior for a long time).
I’m also in the “waiting for a fix” boat… just got hass.io all set up and it turns out my router’s presence tracking just got broken… add that to the list with Google Hangouts integration being recently busted and I’m off to a great start
