AVM FRITZ!Box Tools - Add Possibility to disable device tracker on initial setup

Hi guys,

I use the AVM FRITZ!Box Tools to control my guest Wi-Fi. Unfortunately, during the initial setup of the integration, I don’t have the option to disable the device tracker, which results in all devices known to the Fritzbox being automatically added to HA. In my case, I don’t need these devices. I also found some forum posts on this topic during my research, but no feature request. I can disable device tracking afterward, but the added devices cannot be deleted manually.
My specific suggestion would be to allow users to choose during the initial setup whether the device tracker should be activated or not, so that users can decide upfront whether devices should be added automatically or not.

Best regards,
Johann

Yes, please! That’s the reason I am not using the integration at the moment.

I feel like this request deserves a little push. I would love to use the integration in order to collect the various stats it exposes. But the device trackers are preventing me from using it. Would love to see that one come to life! :slightly_smiling_face:

UPDATE:
This PR got merged, so it will become available with 2025.6 (in June release)
