I have severel automations that act differently if nobody is home, such as turning off the HVAC and then when we come back switching it back on to the setting it had before, etc.
Now I’d like to have a sensor which can tell me if the number of devices connected to my guest wifi network is higher than 0. For the above example, if I have that and someone is visiting, and the guest is alone in the home for a short time, then do not change the HVAC settings, etc…
Ideas on how to determine that?
The Unifi integration has this the client count per vlan. Hopefully you are using Unifi 
No, too expensive - TP-Link (all Omada) but without the cloud
Yeah im pretty sure this is going to have to be exposed by whatever you’re using for your wifi solution. I your case you’ll be looking to see if you can grab that count out of tplink.
As already mentioned unifi does this. And I use it FOR EXACTLY your use case. Works great.
(and the base UDM isn’t much more expensive than a good WiFi6e router. The pro or the SE on the other hand I wouldn’t have bought them had I not also needed to support my wife’s business)
I was just scanning the TP Link Omada Integration and GitHub Know Issues. It does not appear to be a feature (yet) for TP Link. You might want to propose that feature to the developers.
Edit: How do you currently determine if nobody is home?
there is also HACS component with different items. Most tplink people here use both integrations.
which has attributes on devices which can help you here.:
My wife and I are empty nesters, as like most people we always have our phones with us, so it is by examining the “people” sensor for each (both of which are based on our HA app on our pohones) to determine if we are home or not home. I have an adroid and she has an iphone, it seemed like the only way to make sure it works - of course it will be correct whern we are not home only after she looks at her phone after leaving home - but that happens most of the time -
I was looking for this, I used to have it and got rid of it because I wasn’t using it and had switched over to the official integration. While I was building out my environment things were not stable for a while so that was part of my cleanup (removing unused things). I can add it back now - but does it cause issues with anyone that has both that I would need to look out for that you might know of?
They dont interfere anywhere afaik, pulling the info from omada on their own and entities are maintained seperatly
Agreed. I use both the official and the HACS integrations for Omada and have never experienced any conflicts.
Maybe I’m a thick noob but I always seem to have trouble adding these repositories into HACS, it’s so freaking annoying, I cannot add it as a custom repository because when I get the link for github and then try to add that it tells me:
but it is nowhere to be found in the store when I search for HACS integrations by name under “Omada”, “omada”, “ha-omada”, or “zach” WTF what am I doing wrong? Why does this always happen?
So… I should go ahead and use it but good luck finding it (so of course I go look in the addons store but obviously it’s not there), so then I keep trying 12 different ways to search for it - of course I am sure t is something simple
Seems like the setup instructions are outdated now, so I entered this bug - anyone have any iodeas how I work around this?
Thanks for any help you can provide and sorry about the venting…!
Nobody? Really?
I’ll take a shot… If you’ve already downloaded the integration from HACS, go to Settings → Devices & Services → Integrations. Click on the blue “+ Add Integration” button in the lower right. Search for Omada.
If the new integration is there you just need to click on it and get it set up.
It’s the other way around. I have the official integraton. I was saying I had downloaded the HACS one a while back and then got rid of that. I cannot find it in HACS - I get error messages saying it is already in the store - and there is nothing there - see the previous screen shots. Anything you can do to helkp would be very welcome - I checked and there is nothing else there (under integrations) because I thought it was supposed to be under HACS (?)
Thank you @PecosKidd - anything other ideas you may have on how to find the HACS one would be very helpful - ?
I’m sure this terminology isn’t correct, but the way I think of it is you use HACS to download a community built integration, but you still need to use the Devices & Services → Integrations page to install that integration. So it’s a two step process: Find it in HACS and download it, then go to the +Add Integrations page, find it there, and install it.
When I try download it in HACS it tells me it is already there. And I cannot find it anywhere in HACS.
Right. Because (I think!) you’ve already downloaded it. And if that’s the case, you need to go to the Integrations page to install it. Not to HACS, but the standard Integrations page and blue +Add Integration button.
If it’s not there in the Integrations page, I’m sorry for leading you on a wild goose chase, and it must be some other issue!
Yes, the last picture shows it’s not on the integrations page. I’ve got a bug listed in GitHub and Zach is helping me, will let you know the outcome.
