Asuswrt device tracker is broken - please release a fix

[Viper71285 (Cory)]

I get the same errors in my setup. Things seem to work for a very short time after reboot and that is it.

[VilleL (Ville Lumikero)]

Just updated to 0.83.3, and still seeing the same issues. Anyone else?

[Viper71285 (Cory)]

I see get the same errors in 83.3.

[scote (Scott Pattinson)]

ssh is definitely supported with merlin in rt-ac66u I am using it. Its enabled via Administration -> ssh daemon.

[JanLankhorst (Jan)]

Just for those who are still struggling to find out if it could/should work. The confuration below does work for me.
Config: Asus-RT66U Hass.io version: 0.83.3

Configuration.yaml:
asuswrt:
host: 192.168.1.1
username: !secret Asus_User_Name
password: !secret Asus_Password
protocol: telnet
port: 23

device_tracker:
- platform: asuswrt
consider_home: 180
new_device_defaults:
track_new_devices: True
hide_if_away: False

Hope this helps a little.

You need to post your code in the proper format per the box at the top of the page.

Hi all, next config, work for me

Router

• Asuswrt-Merlin https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/
• Model RT-AC68U
• Firmware version: 384.7_2
• Enable SSH: Administration > System > Technical Service
  More info: SSHD · RMerl/asuswrt-merlin Wiki · GitHub

HOME ASSISTANT

Configured using SSH with user/pass
Version Home Assistant 0.83.2

configuration.yaml

asuswrt:
      host: 192.168.2.1
      username: superadmin
      password: secret

[VilleL (Ville Lumikero)]

I wasn’t actually on Merlin on this router. Changing firmware, and using ssh did the trick.

[Klagio]

I still have poroblem, do you have as this in you router?

[abaksa1]

Confirm it worked with telnet enabled on standard firmware of RT-N65U. Hass version: 0.83.3
Edit: only works for a limited time after restart (ca.15 minutes), so no luck.

[Nutti85]

For those who still has issues, this worked for me. Pretty much gives you the good old component.

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

just a +1 for the OP : please release a fix…

moved today to 83.3 changed all according to the docs (including the new Owntracks component, which is working just fine) and this config:

#configuration.yaml

asuswrt:
  host: !secret asus_ip
  username: !secret asus_username
  password: !secret asus_password
  # port: 22 tried with and without

fyi: these secrets are the exact same as previously used in the device_tracker. So plain ip address, no http(s) in front of it, no port.

my router uses ssh port 22.

still this happens in the log:

I’ve deleted the old device_tracker settings, so why it is complaining about that is a true mystery? Unless the new asuswrt is still a device_tracker in the backend of course.

Any suggestions for a solution other than wait for the next release…?

@Mariusthvdb

Unless the new asuswrt is still a device_tracker in the backend

The docs have been updated to say that enabling the asuswrt component automatically configures the asuswrt device_tracker.

I don’t remember, do you use hassio, hass in a venv or hass in docker?

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

I am using Hassio 0.83.3, and all I have set now is what I posted above.

router:

dont suppose the https and lan port 8443 are causing trouble?

[finity]

the reason I asked is that I am running hass in docker and there have been a couple of instances that I suddenly lost permission to log in to the router. Once was when I upgraded my router to a new one but I don’t remember what the cause was the second time. But I know then that I had to console into the hass container and try to login to my router via SSH from there. It then gave me an error stating that my host keys were invalid. It even told me what to do to fix the problem.

Here is the thread I made to help anybody else in the future:

ASUSWRT Device Tracker no longer working after new router install

I just ran up against an issue as noted in the title and wanted to post the solution here in case anyone has this problem in the future. Just a couple of days ago I decided to try to update my home wifi with a mesh system. Seeing as I already had an ASUS router I figured I would stick with that brand. So I bought a new faster router and installed it as my main router re-using the original router IP address and using my original main router as a mesh node. Today I noticed my device trackers wer…

And I’m also using the same configuration that you have in your screenshot above aside from only a couple differences in that I have mine set up for lan access only so I only use http for access, not https.

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

thank you vm.
I tried your commands from the terminal, but none of these work unfortunately…
What i did try is disable ssh, save, and enable again. Maybe that takes care of things internally in the router, rebooting as we speak.

Still, since I didn’t change anything in he router setup, I wonder if this issue could be caused by a setup change on HA side. Suppose it might have been there before, but Ive never seen anything directly related to asuswrt in the logs.

to be sure, what would be the ssh command to login in the router?

restarting still has an issue its asuswrt, but this time it is different:

@Mariusthvdb

to be sure, what would be the ssh command to login in the router?

my username is ‘testing’ and my router IP is 192.168.1.1 so it would be:

ssh -l testing 192.168.1.1

Have you tried to change the “enable SSH” setting to “LAN only” and change the “authentication method” to “http” instead of “https” in the router config? Like I noted above those are the only differences between my router set up and yours.

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

keep getting this:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection refused

Ive now changed to http and Lan only, and rebooting. Maybe this helps. thanks for your assistance. Would seem strange though if using an un-secure http connection would be needed for connecting…

well, it doesn’t help:

Do you have another machine to SSH into your router from to verify it’s not a router issue?

[Mariusthvdb (Marius)]

@finity

SSH into your router from to verify it’s not a router issue?

yes, I am trying to do so from my mac and can’t get in. keep getting:

ssh: connect to host 192.168.1.1 port 22: Connection refused

so it seems this is caused on the Router. I don’t understand though, why the HA upgrade has caused this, or, if not, how the previous settings before the update weren’t bothered.

My asus app logs in without trouble so it seems, and I can see my router page in the browser and change settings. But that is using the https connection method of course…
