AVM FRITZ!Box Tools add only one device

I removed AVM FRITZ!Box Tools integration and readded it.
Now only one device is automatically added and this is the FRITZ!Box itself. All other connected devices are now shown.

The option " Enable new added entities" is active and there is no error in the log.
Do I miss something?

if you are already on 2022.2 then this change might caused your problem

you need to enable each of the devices

Yes most probably. But where can I enable specific device tracker entities :frowning_face:

you should find the deactivated entities in the entity overview under Devices

sorry don’t know how it is named in Englisch

No problem I’m from Switzerland :slight_smile:
No I think it’s another problem after all because I have only one device. Other connected devices don’t show up as device:

I have a similar problem, maybe caused by the same reason.

I updated to 2022.2 and the device tracker isn’t working. Some devices, which were actually not connected, are not shown.

For the devices which are connected is the device tracker not working.

Device-tracking worked fine until I did the update.

I am considering loading the backup.

anything in the logs?
for my it is still working

I got the same issue, after the 2022.2 update, device tracker isn’t working.
I have restored the previous version.

Seems there is already a defect open for this

Thanks. Should be fixed with 2022.2.1 which should be released during the next few days.

Hi folks,

I’d like to add my comment to this thread.
I have allready 2022.2.1 installed with no positive effect to my device_trackers

So I deleted the whole Fritz!Box integration and installed it new.

Now there ar only four of about 180 devices available.
No hidden device entity.

WTF?

Same for me. 2022.2.1 didn’t fix it. I still have only 1 device added.

Have you already installed the latest version? If so, is everything working again?

Still not fixed with version 2022.2.3.
Same with 2022.2.5.

Thanks for your reply. So I will wait.

Any updates here? I have installed 2022.2.8 but the issue is still there :frowning:

Same for me. But I think this will fix the problem soon: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/66402#issuecomment-1046257231

Fixed with 2022.3.0 and activating “Enable old discovery method” in GUI.

Hello,

this is exactly the behavior I want to achieve. With my installation (homassistant:stable docker) I get a device entry for every connected LAN/WIFI device.

I only want the FritzBox itself to be tracked by FB Tools, just like in the image I see in your post. Can I edit the integration’s config to exclude every other device connected to the Fritzbox?

I also tried the mentioned option “Dont discover new devices”. Doesn’t work. I delete the integration and re-add it. It always adds 33 connected devices on the initial setup, before I can even set the flag to not add them in the UI.

The added extra devices don’t even provide proper controls. Only thing offered is enable/disable Internet connectivity of a given device. Who in the seven hells would actually want to do that? Just imagine disabling one devices internet connection by accident in Homeassistant, then finding the issue why that device is down, wow!

— I found out I can disable the devices added by FB tools. MANUALLY, each single one by hand, 34 in total. Why are there no checkboxes in the device view (like they are in the entity view) to bulk disable the bunch of unwanted devices the FB tools just added?

— Ideally an UI option like “Track only FB”, “Delete all auto-added devices” … there are just no buttons to control it properly yet.

Please add this as a Quality of Life feature request. Maybe there is a good reason why bulk selection of devices is not implemented. Not trivial to code or something else. Pleas explain.

Here the same question, It’s possible to avoid the creation of all devices recorded in the fritz? Eventually, there is a way to delete what I don’t want to track?
The integration is very useful but I would like to track only one or two selected mobile phone without create many duplicated devices.

Thanks in advance for the support.
